In document 6, William Hinton, a American member of Chinese Communist land reform task force, said that Chinese peasants demanded to repay their properties, such as money and land to landowners. The communist party gave social equality to women in the Marriage Law of the People’s Republic of China in document 7. The communist party intensely changed patriarchal society into equal right society, so the sense of social equality is shown by this the new policy. However, the law aimed to give gender equality to women, but it is a question that real situation in China treated women equally because it is difficult to state that social awareness of Chinese peasants allow women as equal human beings due to Confucian influences. According to document 8, the communist party did promoted policies that pursue social equality between landowners and peasants by Agrarian Reform Law of the People’s Republic of China in 1950.
“The 2004 Constitution provides that women cannot be precluded from owning or acquiring land or non-land assets” (Afghanistan). This law allowed women to provide shelter for themselves if there were no men in their lives. Right of land ownership increased their level of
The life pursued by the average young person in America is fast paced and scheduled to the point of breaking. As time has progressed this time stretched life style has impacted the need for food that isn’t cooked at home or even at restaurants that cook with traditional methods. This coupled with the swelling number of households with either a single parent or two working parents has increased the reliance on the fast food industry and in turn increased the overweight and obesity rates in the country. In his article “Don’t Blame the Eater,” David Zinczenko addresses this topic and places the blame not on those partaking in these delectable dinners, but in the hands of the fast food industry and their lack of understandable labeling. Zinczenko’s argument is valid and strong due to his equal use of ethos, logos and pathos.

For instance, many women worked within the Bolshevik government, giving them a figure of authority rarely seen before in a powerful and influenceable country. This can be seen through the condemning tone used by Mariia Fedorovna to accuse individuals who see women as inferior against the ruling government. The point of view presented in this document is that respectable people think of all members in their societies as equal, with governments that make their primary goal to give all of their citizens the same resources and opportunities. Also, the high percentage of women among research and professional personnel in the Soviet Union demonstrates the true economic power women gained during the communist Soviet Union, being one of the primary forces driving the Soviet Union’s economy(Doc.4). Women were highly involved in education, giving them the power to encourage equality as a primary value, pursuing nationalism.

However, they were different in that while the women’s freedom decreased after Shah Abbas’ death, the women of Mughal Empire had their freedom unrestricted until the end of the Mughal Empire.

Women are useless; at least that’s how they’ve been regarded as throughout history. During the totality of history women have been treated and observed as inferior to men. Women have always been the subjects of judgment, being seen as both weak and as obedient servants by their societies as well as their respective religions. Women have long been the discussion of men, with no input from women. Interestingly, women’s fate has always been determined by the opposite sex, without an insightful analysis from those who will be affected from the boundaries that would be set as a result.
Since the earliest times in history, women were treated inferior to men. From birth, she would face constraints on her economic independence, legal identity, and access to her property. These restraints would narrow her choice of marriage or spinsterhood. Her economic dependency was ensured by her father or husband, and women were not permitted to own land (Berkin 4-6). After she wedded, all of a woman’s rights and property became that of her husband's (Berkin 5-6).

When we are young, every day is a learning experience. Every moment in the car with our parents, every interaction with our best friend for the week at daycare, every meal, every something to cry about shape who we are going to be and cement our personalities and characteristics. Some of the most influential experiences I had as a child came from my days as a competitive cheerleader. The glittering competitions and the constant rehearsals left me with a love for performance and discipline, both great qualities that have helped me overcome struggles and better myself. However, the social aspects of competitive cheerleading left a negative cast on my beliefs and, particularly, on my perception of beauty and its connection to success.

Gender is the state of being male or female. Revolution is a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favour of a new system. Therefore, Gender Revolution is the overthrow of gender discrimination, in favour of both men and women. Women, as well as men, have made great strides to equality, but inequality persists.
