Violence Against Women

Bad acts committed towards women because of their gender are referred to as violence against women. Violence against women is a clear manifestation of the unequal power relations between men and women. The acts range from physical abuse to psychological torture. Women are viewed to be of a lesser importance in comparison to men. Sexual harassment is one of the major crimes committed against women. Cases of marital rape, harassment at work places and suggestive language used towards women suggest that they are sex symbols. This behavior seems to have been accepted by the society since nothing is being done about. ...

Undisputedly, social identity has a psychological dimension. However, in the sociological imagination, Wright Mills explains that ‘neither the life of an individual nor the history of society can be understood without understanding both’ (Mills, 1959). Therefore, when exploring social identity it is vital to assess the social and cultural factors that shape an individual in the milieu that it is fashioned in the contemporary society. This means that, we must look at both the power the individual has to exercise agency and the structure, or society into which they are born; the society, which already exist.

Introduction

The place of women in traditional and modern society differs greatly. In the past, the society held that women’s roles were more domestic and confined to the rules of men. However, things are much different today as most societies realize that women are equally important as the men. The disappointing fact is that they are still subjects of prejudice, ill treatment, and poor perception. Countries like Syria and Iraq still record many incidences of murder and raping of women. On the other hand, India and Guatemala still have a high number of rape cases as many men still men ...

Although Led Zeppelin disbanded in 1980, their songs are still in heavy rotation on radio stations countrywide.

Led Zeppelin’s enduring popularity is a result of the band’s inter-textual nature, which combines these dichotomous public images to produce a unique musical experience. This integration of multiple influences has allowed Led Zeppelin to ...

Introduction

Domestic Violence is a curse on our society and existence of humanity in this modern age. Some people have a preconceived notion that only the abused or the victim are the sufferer, but this is not the true case. Even children who witness domestic violence are also the victims of being silent sufferers. This is a kind of abusive behavior in which one person, in order to regain his or her power, takes resort to violence. This is actually a technique to get control over his spouse in a relationship. It is not that only physical violence that marks scars are not signs of ...

However, there are some indications that in order to safeguard the rights of women and give them a chance to control their reproductive health, there is the need to decriminalize this act. This has been adopted by Mexico City, with the argument that this legislation “is an first step in improving reproductive rights, but unsafe abortions will only be eliminated if similar abortion legislation is adopted across the entire country” (Becker and Olavarrieta 1202).
