Last Post

So this is my last post about Gender Equality. I have discussed many topics about Gender Equality like Wage Gap, important women and men, jobs, and even international Women Rights. While discussing this topic I have learned many different things. The main thing that I learned was that Britain had Women Rights long before America did. My strongest point I would say is "People Need To Know" where I talked about Condoleezza Rice and society not knowing what Suffrage mean but learning through a prank. I would say my weakest post was "Women in Broadcasting". The post is short and is mostly information from an outside source. If I could change one thing about this blog it would be the needing to post twice a week. Now you all know about Gender Equality and are just that much smarter now.

Gender Roles

Last week in my Sociology class we started Gender Inequality chapter. In this chapter we have talked about the different gender roles in society. Everyone is sacumed to gender roles in there life at some point. Male or Female we all have certain patterns and mundane behavior. Mundane behavior includes ways of style of dress and greeting behaviors. Even how hard females try not to be emotional or have a certain femininity they will always have certain instincts about certain things. These Gender roles are learned through the socialization progress and social institutions such as Family, media, and peers.

Media factors in more and more every year. One may grow up in a house where dad is the main caregiver but through media kids will figure out that the women is marked up to be the caregivers while men are suppose to bring home the bacon. No one can reverse gender roles premaritally. Gender Roles will always be out there and categorizing everyone.

International Women's Humans Rights

Every human is born with natural rights. Everyone has the right to live. "they are universal. Whereas nations or specialized groups enjoy specific rights that apply only to them, human rights are the rights to which everyone is entitled—no matter who they are or where they live—simply because they are alive" (Definition of Human Rights Video | What Are Human Rights?). We also have other rights that not everyone knows about. "They mean the freedom to obtain a job, adopt a career, select a partner of one’s choice and raise children. They include the right to travel widely and the right to work gainfully without harassment, abuse and threat of arbitrary dismissal. They even embrace the right to leisure" ( Definition of Human Rights Video | What Are Human Rights?). Women had rights to do everything that they weren't allowed to do all along.

International Women Rights

Being from the United States I feel like some people are one subject thinkers. I have been talking about Women’s rights and famous women that helped the Women’s Rights Movement but have barely talked about other countries or international rights. Country to Country many things changes like Customs, Culture, Money, and Authority. Women’s Rights is different all over the world. Some places women don’t have any rights and others they are treated very much equal. 

It was thought by officials to help women internationally be equal and safe. “The International Women's Rights Action Watch (IWRAW) was organized in 1985 at the Third World Conference on Women in Nairobi, Kenya, to promote recognition of women’s human rights under the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), an international human rights treaty” (Women Changed the World). The IWRAW was the first step after women’s rights in America were declared. Women internationally had rights but the head office was in Minnesota so it was still in the Untied States. The Untied States seem to be the ones that want equal rights and sets up organizations and helps everyone be equal.
