Carved Into A Woman

I ask how America is becoming more unequal, if she wasn’t equal to begin with. The great Karl Max said “America has always been unequal to and that it’s based off of the philosophy of “Capitalism”, which is an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange for wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporation, especially as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth .So is America becoming more unequal the answer is yes? My next question is this a good or bad thing. I say it’s a

From what my mom told from her time in Kenya. She stayed on a base located in Nairboi and went out several times on safari to visit multiple villages. She described the people “as vibrant as you can imagine” and “the highest spirited people with lots of faith”. She also told me in certain areas they have very specific traditions. For example, the Kenyan people love to dance, their dancing style is known as “benga”. The food has a wide range of ethnic diversity. My mom tried a plate called “irio” which is basically made up of green peas and potatoes. These ingredients are boiled together after which corn is added to give the meal texture and is usually served with beef stew. One thing Kenyan people cherish above al is family and friendship. Kenyan families tend to be on the larger side including many members of the extended family. Even when times are tough Kenyan families usually welcome guests as if they were family. However, the guest is expected to help with the daily chores just as the family does. The Kenyan people are made up of different tribes. Each tribe has strong tribal beliefs for instance it is easy to distinguish one tribe from another by the way they dress. For example the Samburu tribe, the tribe my mom visited, wore traditional clothing of bright red material that is wrapped around like a toga. The women as well as the men accessorize their toga with beaded necklaces, bracelets

America is primarily known as a country most prideful for its freedom and equality. As a matter of fact, it comes to no surprise seeing members of the U.S. proudly displaying their patriotism in the means of clothing, accessories, or other miscellaneous merchandise. However, as some may suggest, the nation is filled to the brim with dark tales and twisted stories of past events that continue to split its people into separate boundaries. Discrimination, war, and slavery are all factors that have the potential to divide a society within itself and to create barriers that separate a population against their own kind.

In social studies we are looking at other places and seeing how they get their water. The ones that are really struggling with the water crisis are Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. In some of those places mainly the women would have to give up their education and take care of their families to go retriever water for them. The walk was long and the woman had to carrie at least forty pounds of water on their backs.They have to be quiet because they are typically alone and a person or an animal could attack them. So our teacher thought it would be a good idea to feel what it is like to have to carry the water for one

America: the home of the brave and the free, the "melting pot." America: a society of endless possibilities and promises. We as Americans have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Or do we? On what do these rights depend? Power? Power is the ability to influence another's mind. Though expressed in many ways, power is not always accessible. One's social, economic, ethical, and racial status determine how much power one can have--the cultural majority has the power. In American society, culture plays a pivotal role in our everyday life and experiences. What happens when one's identity or sense of self is lost in the melting pot?

In modern times, the Sande costume is still used in the fertility/coming-of-age ritual, yet women in Sierra Leone are extremely aware of the ancient form of communication that it represents in the 21st century: “The traditional costume is indeed worn in the bush, but the girls return to ordinary life dressed in the most up-to-date Creole fashions” (Little 56). In this way, the girls and the older women partake in wearing the costumes, which represent an ancient confirmation of womanhood within the context of modern 21st century culture. The Sande female society utilizes the symbolic costumes of fertility and womanhood as way to communicate an acknowledge identity in the community. This is an important aspect of how women communicate with each other in these intensively ritualistic aspects of the coming-of-age traditions in Sierra Leone. These are important modes of human communication involving the Sande coming-of-age costumes for females in Sierra

Just the way kabira, albeit unconsciously forget the plight of these women, the society does not seem to care about their experiences. Kabira, in way, seems to take a collective responsibility on behalf of Kenya for the neglect of these women’s role in the independence of Kenya. They do not even get to be part of the celebrations of the freedom they helped make

Birth and death practices in Somalia are both based on longstanding religious practices and cultural traditions, but the birth experience is largely the domain of women. For instance, Hernlund and Shell-Duncan (2007) report that, "In Somalia, giving birth is an activity exclusively restricted to the women's sphere" (p. 122). A study on birthing experiences of Somalia women conducted in Sweden, though, found that when given the opportunity, most Somalia women preferred the nontraditional approach to delivery in which the husband was present. In this regard, Hernlund and Shell-Duncan (2007) report that, "Practically all the Somali women who had given birth in Sweden stated that their husbands were present at delivery" (p. 123). The majority of the Somalia women in this study characterized the birthing experience as being positive, and some of the subjects indicated that more Somali men should be present during deliveries because it would help them understand the rigors and ordeals that are involved in the process as this would make their husbands more attentive to their needs in the future (Hernland & Shell-Duncan, 2007).

According to Unicef, “Two out of every ten children do not make it to their fifth birthday due to a water related illness.” This crisis is preventable and 39% of Western and Central African people should not be living like this. Life is difficult for the people that do not have clean water. ¨Women and children walk up to three hours a day to get water,¨(Unicef). “Women spend more time collecting water than anything else,” stated by Water Changes Everything. “Women and children also carry up to 40 pounds of water every trip they make to get water,” states Water and Sanitation. The information is important because they do not have a good chance to get a job or education and therefore they live in poverty with no chance of having a productive life outside of their village. There are many global problems about this crisis. “The woman and children collecting the water do not get an education because they spend all day getting the water” (Water Changes Everything). “They still do not have proper sanitation water to drink or clean water,” states the The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “On an average year 1.5 million children die a year due to a water related disease,” states Water and Sanitation. This problem is solvable, and we can not allow 1.5 million children to die a year and not get an education. Research must continue in order to solve this

In order to explain the significance of women during the Kenyan Emergency of the 1950’s, Millicent Whitemore composed a powerful argument that highlighted the importance that women played in the Mau Mau Movement against the British colonial government. By contrasting the traditional views of women with the critical roles they played during the conflict, Whitemore showed just how incredibly important women were in the Movement. With the use of an abundance of sources and firsthand accounts, Whitemore created not only a credible and valid argument, but also a more convincing and persuading one as well. As such, the author has developed and formed an effective argument highlighting the importance of women during the Mau Mau movement with the strong

The typical day for a rural Kenyan family, usually children, who should otherwise be in school, walk several miles to search for water to provide for the family for cleaning, and food preparation. Most times the water is dirty, not treated or which is contaminated by surface soil and feces from the livestock. It is also not nearly enough to provide for a family which needs 120 liters a day

More than 40 percent of Kenyans are under the age of 15 because of sustained high fertility rate, early marriage and childbearing, and an unmet need for family planning. These females do not seek freedom as they are tied down to cultural rules and family obligation. However, in recent years women are now venturing out looking for opportunity which as lead women to taking jobs such as vendors, clerks and more recently with female politicians. With man feeling threatened because of the lack of available work, rage has boiled to the point of death threats and abuse directed to woman. Woman acquire jobs is considered a major step for the woman in Kenya as they are slowing following in the footsteps of the United States as it was not till the 1960s american women were finally allowed into the workforce. This growth will not come easily to the citizens of Kenya compared to the United States as the Kenyan daily life have been revolved around cultural beliefs and lack of

Women and Children of Kenya Are Subject to Violent Rapes and High Rates of HIV and Aids, Due to the Economic Crisis That Is Creating Corruption

Without a decent plumbing system, most Africans have access to water from the ponds or streams. According to the statement made by WHO in 2004, there is only 16% of citizens in sub-Saharan has access to water through a tap in their house (WHO). It suggests that the household connection of water is insufficient. As a result, African women and young girls have to walk miles to get water every day. Moreover, the wells are not built broadly in Africa since the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry neglects it’s responsible for the management of

America has always prided itself in being a symbol of hope and prosperity in the world. America , as a country, has gone through many trials and tribulations to get where it is today; it had to fight for its independence, fight through two World Wars, revive its once demolished stock market, and fight with more countries for some reason or another to further its own goals. As we all know, as America succeeded, it rose to be one of the greatest nations on this planet, but many of the general audience of America and its citizens forget and sometimes deny the problems and flaws this country has had for the past couple of centuries. Gender inequality is a problem that still exists even though there have been many debates and political and
