Pros And Disadvantages Of Women

In the reading “The Power and the Promise of Ecological Feminism”, the author, Karen J. Warren, explains her argument on the inevitable connection between the oppression of women and the oppression of nature. She further suggests that ecofeminism provides a framework to re envision feminism and create an environmental ethic which takes into account the connection between sexism and naturism.

Another supported claim that attributes to this idea of inequality and gender relations is the insights from three indigenous scholars living in India, which I had the privilege of looking in depth to their encounters. They were able to infer that female fetuses are often at times killed off and men are always subject to be the dominant figures in societal practices. They have provided insights that advancement in technology has provided a way that women wouldn’t be treated like valueless customers, but rather provide population control incentives such as nation-state prosperity. (Dube, R., Dube, R., & Bhatnagar) This will be a future planning strategy that might undermine well with the current situation of this issue at hand today.

Adivasis are the indigenous population of India who predominantly depend on forests for their livelihood and identity (references). India has the largest Adivasi (indigenous) population in the world accounting to 104 million (8.2% of the national population), yet it took government of India nearly 60 years to acknowledge the historical relevance of forests for Adivasi communities through Forest Rights Act,2006 (references). The disregard for Adivasi societies is sometimes reflective even on community name assigned by the mainstream non Adivasis. For example, one of the tribal groups in Kerala are known by the name Adiyas (ആദിമ root word which in Malayalam means slave). Assigning such community names by the non Adivasis were some of the linguistic illustrations of Adivasi subjugation and dominance (references). Adivasi are primarily forest dwellers, grazers, agriculturists, laborers and reside mountain and hilly areas adjoining forest areas (references). Contrary to the mainstream Hindu communities, Adivasi are egalitarian group however, they are known to have strict gender roles and responsibilities. Women in Adivasi communities share accounts of a mutualistic relationship with forests and natural resources developed through their material and non-material pursuits (references). However, colonial exploitation and historical alienation from ancestral land has impacted the socio-economic balance of the community with many of the human development indicators spiraling downward

Today’s generation is more concentrated on technological advancements and is blind to what the world has to offer. They are focused on the wrong aspects of life and need to further their attention on preserving the environment to become more sustainable. In Vandana Shiva’s essay “Two Views of Nature”, she explains both of the views. One perspective was that nature needs to be respected and valued more and the other perspective was that nature prevents progress. It blocks humans from continuing on advancing into a more high-tech world.

It’s now time for America’s to vote and they shouldn’t be thinking about what the candidates have been involved in but what they stand for. The statement of contention is that Celia Walden the author of the article If trump is elected next week he should thank Clintipathy, is saying that Hillary won’t win because American’s hate her while Kristina Keneally the author of the other article. Unlike Julia Gillard, Hillary Clinton will inherit an electorate incredibly alive to sexism says if Hillary does get elected she will be subject to a sexism. As they were both published in October one was on the 26th and the other was on the 3rd and they were both before the election as it effects all American’s and there future.

Forest destruction has threatened traditional systems of land management and inflicted poverty, pollution, and social disintegration on once thriving communities. As forest resources, have become depleted, economic pressures have driven young villagers to leave their communities in search of employment.

I truly believe that most of sexism is harmful. There are so many different factors that play into sexism-between culture, religion, politics, and family upbringings-and so many different parts of this can point us in the wrong direction. We live in a world where many companies find it acceptable to pay women less than men for the same position, and where companies refuse to hire some of the most educated human beings simply because they are transgender. I am fortunate enough to work for a company that does not do either of these things. “How Racism and Sexism Killed Traditional Media” is a great book that accurately reflects not only how sexism and racism both killed their careers and their culture, but also how it affected so much more of

The Chipko movement, though primarily a livelihood movement rather than a forest conservation movement, went on to become a rallying point for many future environmentalists, environmental protests and movements the world over and created a precedent for non-violent protest. It occurred at a time when there was hardly any environmental movement in the developing world, and its success meant that the world immediately took notice of this non-violent Tree hugging movement, which was to inspire in time, many such eco-groups, helped in slowing down the rapid deforestation, exposed vested interests, increased ecological awareness, and demonstrate the viability of people power. Above all, it stirred up existing civil society in India like never before, which started looking towards tribal, and marginalized people and their issues like never before. So much so that, quarter a century later, India Today

“How to Buy a Daughter”, an article submitted to ‘Slate’ submitted by “Jasmeet Sidhu” outlines the choice of sex selection by parents. The article concentrates on the possible pros and cons of gender selection. It was said that using medical resources to something such as gender selection is somewhat of a waste but soon a greater profit was foreseen from the movement. Gender selection is now seen very often throughout medical sciences where we see the embryos are guided through to the uterus with the use of an ultrasound.

Shiva did an excellent job explaining how western masculine science has undermined women (and their expertise on nature’s processes) and caused ecological disruption that threatens the livelihood of the people in India. Shiva exposed the many weaknesses of the masculinist’s model of development while providing a sufficient argument for the feminine principle as the solution.

For example, in traditional rural Punjab, “two of the most important centers of human activity have been the Sikh Gurdwara and a source of water – pond, tank, pool, or running water.” Surrounding these two sites was community land, not used anyone for personal farming. This area provides shade, shelter, and firewood within easy reach. Instead of having people going into the forest and accidently starting wildfires or disturbing the wildlife. Manjit uses this historical dialogue to show that a community can thrive whilst co-existing with nature. Furthermore, the culture is “based on organic materials, recycling is an intrinsic and natural” part of the resource cycle, as there is a strong tradition of sharing. The same concept applies today, in regards to humans living together and ensuring the health of the planet. Due to the author’s upbringing in this fertile land that has fought the effects of global climate change, pass on the knowledge to the reader. The audience consists of individuals who live in a world that is in a decline state, but a group effort is necessary to balance the equilibrium. Therefore, Manjit has to write in a way that outlines steps they can take to make a difference in their surroundings, while maintaining a positive tone and delivering the statement with a concise and easy to read manner. The enthusiasm and the informative tone allow him to deliver information in a credible manner and use of historical references in his statement allows Manjit to accomplish the document’s purpose, which is to inform humans about their connection to nature and maintain a healthy relationship for generations to

Babies are commonly viewed as the most innocent lifeforms in the world. Not only does their cuteness touch the lives of everyone they come in contact with, but their inability to carry judgments makes them someone most of us admire. Unfortunately, while the baby may not be able to express their likes and dislikes, their parents have already introduced the baby to the idea of favoritism, even before it makes its way out of the womb. New technology has allowed parents to select the sex of their baby. As a result, the idea behind childbirth being a miracle, as well as a magical process, is now lost. By allowing parents to select the sex of their children, society is enabling people to value one gender over another and neglect the true intentions

Ecofeminism, in the great part of it, has bridged the gap between the feminist theory and the animal-liberationist one, that once fought separately, with such exclusivity that only led to the expansion of oppression. However, dealing with the symptoms of the disease and trying to undermine their effects rather than dealing with the roots of the disease itself would not result in the total healing of it. That is why dealing with the conceptual roots of the connection between the oppression of women and the oppression of nature is a must.

While the increasing of female journalists ' ratio in newsrooms regarded as an accomplishment for women, statistics and other variables indicate the contrary. The fact that women 's representation in newsrooms became larger than the past takes a lot of attention. However, most people do not know that this slightly enhance in women 's representation remained stagnant for decades. A quick glance on the editorial positions of media’s organizations reveals how women do not ascend the top positions comparing to journalism 's female students (Lipinski, 2014). On the background of the forgoing facts, the newsroom diversity endures being one of the most important topics amongst scholars and professionals in journalism. The importance of diversity in newsrooms stems from the need for divergent journalists who can cover the variety of community 's aspects, so the news coverage would be comprehensive, objective, and fair. However, the fact has been that males often prevail in newsrooms.

Individuals study women because women are just like any other species in this world. Similar to how scientists would study animals and any other living species. There are studies on the anatomy of both males and females along with the functions of their systems. What makes the study of women so unique is that women have been the gender that has had many disadvantages along the way. In past centuries women weren’t considered people. They were referred to as the term “housewife”. They cooked and cleaned the house as well as took care of the children. Women needed to make sure that everything was taken care of before the husband got home so the men felt relaxed. Even after women began gaining certain rights there was still stereotypes surrounding them about what type of job was a man’s job not allowing women the chance to prove themselves fully capable.
