In the early 178th century, a womaen’s role within the Ppuritan community was lesser than a man. They followed Republican Motherhood, an ideal in which there was the superiority of men within the social and political aspects of daily life. In a colonial society it was mandatory that women take care of the household, teach their children skills and support family life; excluding the outside world. No matter how much they wanted to improve their lives through education and self-empowerment, men during this time always wanted to find a way to degrade women, thus making it hard for some women to escape the traditional gender roles. The Scarlet Letter takes place within this era and the main protagonist, Hester Prynne, like other women is being

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten” (Gaiman). The Taliban’s terrifying presence in the war-torn Middle East dramatically increased over the last two decades enabling them to enforce their archaic beliefs forcefully over a multitudinous population; inflicting severe and deadly consequences to anyone standing in their way. Indoctrination of male dominance over women assists the Taliban in their overall objective to control the region.

The British empire began in 16th century and lasted until around 1997. During this time Great Britain controlled a lot of the World’s land and population. Britain had immense power and used it for their own dominance. They wanted to spread their ideology and culture to other societies.Britain was imperializing many parts of the World."Imperialism occurs when a strong nation takes over a weaker nation or region and dominates its economic, political, and cultural life” ( Boisestate.edu).For Britain, this process was strengthening their nation as a whole so they began to really expand their outreach. After WWI Britain really started a long period of ruling. “During this period, Europe's powers added nearly nine million square miles (23,000,000 square kilometers) to their overseas colonial possessions. As it was mostly unoccupied by the Western powers as late as the 1880s, Africa became the primary target of the "new" imperialist expansion, although conquest took place also in other areas—notably Southeast Asia and the East Asian seaboard, where Japan joined the European powers' scramble for territory”(New World 1).

There were many ways that British imperialism affected Nigeria,
