Decolonization Women

During the Iranian Revolution in 1979 transformed Iran’s political,social,and economic structure. Secular Laws were replaced with Islamic laws creating an outburst. Women were often abused,raped,treated as slaves,and accused of false imprisonment. These tortures things that most women had to face are against the Islamic religion.

Additionally, ………. Desocialization is the process of giving up old norms, values, attitudes and behaviors. For instance, the woman's behavior was becoming more rude because she was only pending time with men. Also, her values and norms are going to give up because in the NAVI SEAL program they set the norms and values. Resocialization is the process of adopting new norms, values, attitudes and behaviors. To illustrate, Jane was adopting herself to brutal and humiliating practices. Also, she had to work more because Lt. O'Neil give double standards and demands to be treated as the others.

Feminism has not changed today, but its focus has changed. Many women today have good education and employment opportunities just like men, as the early feminist fought for them. Now, after getting all these, men are now discriminating them and at times abusing them in order to undermine their hard work and potentiality. Men are doing all they can to undermine the success women have been able to acquired, however, today’s feminism is struggling to protect women and girls from domestic violence, sexual harassment, and rape as well as discrimination.

The American Revolution, which happened during the last half of the eighteenth century, reshaped many aspects of life in America. The desire of the Founding Fathers to make America a republic played a very significant part in changing the role of women after the Revolution. The role of women as wives became more important as an emphasis on virtue was established; women were encouraged to find virtuous husbands and utilize their seductive nature to keep men virtuous. The roles of women as mothers also became more important in the republic, as patriarchy loosened and mothers were depended on to educate their children in the republican way. And finally, the role of women in politics was theoretically reduced due to the increasing demands of

For hundreds of years’ Indigenous people have been colonized by the British and now Canadian settlers in Canada. Colonization is defined in Merriam-Webster Dictionary as taking control of an area and sending people to live there. This is initially what the British did when coming to North America. However, since then colonization has gained a larger and more sinister meaning. Colonization was used to undermine and devalue all aspects of Indigenous culture, including traditional medicine and healing practicesi. It encompasses the attempt at assimilating the indigenous people into the now western ways by presenting Indigenous people as savages and less than the European culture. Due to this history of colonization Indigenous people now have

When the government implemented the Reconstruction plan, every citizen- Northerners, Southerners, African Americans, Whites, Females, Males- had diverse views on the government’s actions. In a letter written to a newspaper editor, a former slave shared his negative opinions on the government regarding the treatment of freemen and freewomen after the ratification of the 13th amendment. Samuel Childress responded negatively by saying “It would seem that it was regarded as a greater crime to be black than to be a rebel.” He claims a former slave’s life is unjust because they works with little pay and often can only find working using the skills they already know. Most of the freemen have only learned how to farm and are forced to work for their

In January, The Shah fled the country to Egypt, and a new ruler came into power. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned after being in exile for 14 years, and many of the people happily accepted him back (“The Iranian Hostage Crisis”). Everything went well until October, when the Shah- still in Egypt- obtained permission to travel to the United States for cancer treatment.

The year 1776 ignited the colonial rebellion from Great Britain, with colonists from the newly formed United States demanding their individual and colony’s rights. They advocated for representation, their individual rights, and the issue of sovereignty. With the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791, individual rights overall were thought to be “protected” in the newly liberated Unites States. Yet the continued limiting of women’s rights, treatment of the mentally handicapped and emancipated slaves, the individual liberties colonists believed they would gain from Britain was only for certain individuals, not all. The colonists believed that they would advance their individual rights and freedoms with their independence from Britain; though the reality was that the struggles of individual liberties continued throughout the next 100 years in different classes of citizens despite their gaining of independence from Britain.

On Thursday, March 29th, three archivists gave a seminar with the overarching title: “Decolonizing History: Gender, Region, Slavery.” One of the archivist, Jessica Mane Johnson introduced Therese, a slave woman, in her presentation “Bury Me in the Ocean.” Therese was a slave who married a free black man John Mingo. Mingo tried to buy Therese’s freedom from slave owner Darby for $9,000, but she remained trapped. Documents about Mingo form Therese’s story, thus there is not much information on her. In the story of Therese, the concept of ungendering in Hortense Spillers’ “Mama’s Baby, Papa’s Maybe” comes into context. Through connecting the life of Therese to Spillers’ work, I will illustrate how, in the journey to becoming a slave, women were

I want to comment on this article as a whole. Because although Kimmel brought up good points, I didn’t find his argument convincing. In order to bring attention to woman studies, I think people need to look beyond the men concept because that idea is so overused. To me woman studies is more than mens oppression, its about sacrifices, movements, projects that woman have done. Not to mention that a guy is writing this article and mostly gloating about men, that’s irrevalent. For instance, “Men have been there supporting women’s equality every step of the eway”(Kimmel 27). In other words, this is a LIE because if this was the case, why isn’t there equal pau? Why are women not given leadership positions? Why did a dumbass become president? Yeah,

This was one reverse too far, for Iran's young “cherish a packet of grievances, ranging from the acute shortage of jobs to the social restrictions that ban most boy- and-girl outings. Restrictive though it is, the system allows discussion of these complaints, and many niggling rules have been quietly eased since Mr. Khatami took over” (Anonymous Iran's second revolution? 13). It was, however, after the police and their allies, the Islamist bully-boy militia, raided the dormitories in Tehran University, where they killed at least one student and probably more, that the shout for change began to penetrate “out-of-bounds areas. The students started to call for fundamental reforms, questioning the legitimacy of clerical control” (Anonymous Iran's second revolution? 13). They even went so far as to challenge the sacrosanct heart of Iran's Islamist edifice, the ultimate authority of the “supreme leader.”

The emergence of the Islamic Republic in late 1970’s Iran demonstrates how middle class Iranian people purged themselves of the Pahlavi Dynasty in an effort to continue down a more righteous and egalitarian path. As a result, the country underwent a complete social upheaval and in its place grew an overtly oppressive regime based in theoretical omnipotence. In response to this regime, the very structure of political and social life was shaken and fundamentally transformed as religion and politics became inexorable. As a result, gender roles and the battle between public and private life were redrawn. Using various primary and secondary sources I will show how the Revolution shaped secular middle class Iranians. Further, I will show how the

The Women’s Liberation Movement greatly impacted Australia and the United States throughout the 60’s and 70’s carrying on to the 90’s. Without the Women’s Liberation Movement women wouldn’t have received changes in laws primarily regarding employment impacting on them moving forward in terms of equal opportunities. However there is still a there is still process to be made concerning employment and social roles for women to have equal rights as men. The Women’s Liberation Movement started in the 60’s during the second wave of feminism. Even though the 70’s were a time of change, both Australia and the United States saw women remaining in low status roles and staying primarily in the domestic sphere. The 90’s however saw a dramatic change in the amount of women employed and working more so in the domestic sphere.

Decolonization can be achieved by gaining independence, along with interaction of power also, it is a political process that causes violence in in a lot of circumstances and may sometimes be resolved by negotiating on peaceful terms. But can also lead to violent resistance and arm struggle by the native population. Eventually with World War coming to an end, it brought a revolution of decolonization in many countries. For many people, this was a positive thing as they were to obtain independence from colonies and empires. Decolonization was a long process to begin with, it took almost thirty years after World War II for some places. With colonial powers getting weaker, that was great chance for independence for Africa and Asia. Not only

Because it is a systematic negation of the other person and a furious determination to deny the other person all attributes of humanity, colonialism forces the people it dominates to ask themselves the question constantly: "In reality, who am I?" (The Wretched of the Earth 250)
