Women 's Leadership Of The Gcc Nations

Between 500 CE and 1450 CE, elements of women’s roles in the Middle East were changing while others remained the same for over 900 years. The duties women filled in society remained constant through the years. Changing, though, was the decline of social importance of women and a degradation of their rights.

“Elham was eight years old when she first wrapped herself in a chador; the all-encompassing black cloth Iranian women wear to disguise their figures. She spent her entire adolescence under its heavy drape”. This was until she laid foot in Australia and freed herself from the gender roles and expectations of Iran, unveiling herself both theoretically and in practice. Similar to beauty ideals, my investigation also aims to identify whether gender roles and opportunities for power for Persian women have changed as a result of migration to Australia.

Petroleum politics have been an increasingly important aspect of diplomacy since the rise of the Petroleum industry in the middle east in the early 20th century.

If you were to take a young women born and raised in the United States of American and sit her in a room with several women born and raised in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, she would easily stand out within seconds. It would not matter with anything that American woman was wearing, anything she could possibly be wearing would be very different from the Saudi Arabian women. Some ways that the average American woman dress can get her killed in Saudi Arabia. As an American woman, I never realized how much freedom I had as a woman compared to other countries to be as free as I want to be. Some of these American women take that right as run as far as they can with it, and the ways some of them dress is something I would expect to see in a music video. South Arabian people have a bit more definition of a beautiful woman. I am guessing that they want their women showing the least skin possible, and no one is worthy of seeing their body but their family. Both of these groups of women put the same amount as pride in the way I dress rather it is optional or not.

In the “The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, And Power,” Yergin undertakes the reader upon a thorough and enjoyable journey through oil history, from the first 1859 well drilling by Colonel Edwin in Pennsylvania during up to the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein in a wrathful grab for oil and wealth in 1990 August. Yergin explores the role of oil in warfare, depicts the ever-changing organization of the oil sector, and examines the prominent, as well as often flamboyant petroleum players. The book is a well-researched and well-written, and supplement to a history branch, which until very lately, had been regrettably neglected—history of business.

With four Latin American Countries having female leaders, the myth that they are behind the U.S. is false. (Weiss, L., 2014). Another stereotype is that immigrants are taking money away from the United States. Despite the speculation about the financial cost of immigrants, Norris-Tirrell (2002) reported that immigrants cost Florida a mere $25 a year more than the average resident and that undocumented residents brought in more than $200 a year per person to Texas.

The role of gender in development does not play equally at all levels in Afghanistan. For example in household activities women have the most responsibilities but they hold very few limited positions out of home, like teaching at school. Most of positions are captured by men and the role of women in main positions not as remarkable as men. For example men have been the key players for peace building and development in Afghanistan during the 40 years war. They dominate formal and main positions as fighter, peace keepers, peace negotiators, politicians, directors and leaders. Women often are the worst affected by conflicts and wars, while they don’t play an important role as the central in the fight for peace (Peace building initiative, 2008).

For centuries the Islamic women have been thought of as the homestead worker who takes care of the house, the kids, and the husband. Even though women are seen as the breed winner, when it comes to keeping the home up to par, women have no jurisdiction to divorce or claim in custody disputes of children and inheritance. The struggle of women’s rights of inequality has also been seen in the workforce and in education. For instance, in the midst of war, men left the home to fight the battles, this left women to fend for themselves and their children. This raised concerns, that if their husbands did not return home how would the wives find the means to survive if all their inheritance were stripped from them. Finally, a couple of decades

Take a look around you. You most likely see quite a lot of women talking, laughing, and living freely. Most people would agree that it’s an everyday sight. However, free-living women are a rare occurrence in other parts of the world, such as the Middle East, where women are bound by traditions. The oppression of women that rages today in that region is due to the great influence Islam has there. Followers of Islam, known as Muslims, use the Quran as their Holy Book. From this book, Muslims take their guidelines for life, known as Sharia Law. Unfortunately, these laws are the epitome of patriarchy, and aim to subjugate and degrade women. A woman named Jean Sasson has written many books that tell of this oppression, such as the Princess trilogy and it’s sequel More Tears To Cry, which follow the steps of the Saudi Arabian princess, Sultana.

The topic that stood out to me the most would be the impact of ethnicity amongst women. It is amazing how much being a woman and being part of a certain ethnicity can have such an impact on a woman’s life. It is already hard enough for woman to been seen as equal, just imagine what it is like being a woman of a particular ethnicity. The two articles that we discussed in class are about Filipino, Islamic, and Saudi Arabian women. Filipino, Islamic, and Saudi Arabian women share some things in common when it comes to their everyday lives and cultures.

In the United States government, women have never been equally represented despite composing half of the population. For example, women only make up twenty percent of our national legislature. In consequence of this injustice, the United States ranks ninety-fifth in the world for the number of women in federal government.

Curtis Carlson, founder of the Carlson Company, was the son of Swedish immigrants and widely known in Sweden for his business success and philanthropy. The company established the Curtis L. Carlson Family Foundation in 1959 and became involved in various charitable causes. Because of Curtis’ reputation as a successful businessman and philanthropist, he became acquainted with the royal family of Sweden. The two families developed a longstanding friendship that later influenced Marilyn Carlson Nelson’s decision to sign the Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism. Marilyn was recognized as one of the world’s most influential women leaders; under her leadership, Carlson Company employed over 150,000 people worldwide and achieved over $37 billion in annual sales in 2006 (Lawrence & Weber, 2014). She had a visionary outlook and was always looking for potential issues that could impact relationships with stakeholders. In some parts of the world, the tourism industry was exploiting children and teen girls for sex trafficking. It had become a very profitable multi-billion dollar industry with an estimated two million children being exploited each year (Lawrence & Weber, 2014). Because the Carlson Company owned and operated hotels, cruise ships, restaurants, tour operators and travel agencies all over the world, their brand reputation could be negatively impacted by the sexual exploitation of children. In 1998, Queen Sylvia of

From being able to venture into a multitude of fields such as politics, the armed forces

Growing up in a conservative religious home, it was joked that a woman should be seen and not heard. This happened more often when I acted out and voiced my opinion as to why I should have a cell phone while attending high school. But as I looked around and became more involved in school and community, it wasn’t a joke anymore. Women in the United States are not involved enough in politics and government.
