WOMEN IN THE SOCIETY
A finest day to all.Just want to share this articles...
ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE SOCIETY
Throughout most of history, women generally have fewer legal rights and career opportunities than men. Wifehood and motherhood were regarded as women's most significant professions. In the 20th century, However, women in most nations won the right to vote and increased their educational and job opportunities. Perhaps most important, they fought for and to a large degree accomplished a re-evaluation of traditional views of their role in society.
EARLY ATTITUDES TOWARD WOMEN
Since early times women have uniquely viewed as a creative source of human life. Historically, however, they have been considered not only intellectually inferior to men but also a major source of temptation and evil.
In Greek mythology, for example, it was a woman, Pandora, who opened the forbidden box and brought plagues and unhappiness to mankind.
Early Roman described women as children, forever inferior to men.
Nevertheless, when they were allowed personal and intellectual freedom, women made significant achievements.
During the Middle Ages nuns played a key role in the religious life of Europe. Aristocratic women enjoyed power and prestige.
Whole eras were influenced by women rulers for instance, Queen Elizabeth of England in the 16th century, Catherine the Great of Russia in the 18th century, and Queen Victoria of England in the 19th century.

In the late 1980s more than twice as many women as men taught in elementary and high schools. In higher education, however, women held only about one third of the teaching positions, concentrated in such fields as education, social service, home economics, nursing, and library science. A small proportion of women college and university teachers were the physical sciences, engineering, agriculture, and law.
Working women often faced discrimination on the mistaken belief that, because they were married or would most likely get married, they would not be permanent workers.
But married women generally continued on their jobs for many years and were not a transient, temporary, or undependable work force.
Despite their increased presence in the work force, most women still have primary responsibity for housework and family care. In the late 1970s men with an employed wife spent only about 1.4 hours a week more on household tasks than those whose wife was a full-time homemaker.

The role of women in Japanese society must have changed drastically from the old days. I never lived in Japan and it easy to get a false impression from historical movies.
From what I've seen in person, the Japanese woman is comfortable in her role. It might be some of the men who might need to evolve.
Thank you.
A pleasant day to you.
The Japanese women is very much different internationally.
The typical Japanese women has a very long indurance and patients; they always act according to our cultured and traditions. Comfortable role is a different view as I can say. Japanese women are very deep in their emotions and feelings, as in very invisible. The way they moves and talks....they never show what is their inner side; even in works. But, they really do their assigned tasked and responsibility with honor and pride.

I watch last night the movie "Rikyu", based on the story of "Sen no Rikyu". Interesting movie.
Yeah! I guess so... Unfortunately I missed watching that film. Perhaps the Japanese old movie?
I am not watching any Japanese film. I prepared to watch English movies sir. Since I do think it is too much for me to engaged myself more in Japanese... Just for a change and broaden my ideas... Thank you for patronizing our film. I do appreciated it.

Akira Kurosawa is my favorite movie maker. A recent one made from his screen play is Ame agaru, 1999. Very nice story.
I like Toshirô Mifune and Tatsuya Nakadai as actors.
Now it is difficult to find great movies, English or Japanese.
Thank you Crystal.
Sir Delatude,
You are so kind in sharing what you knew. As I can sense that you had a wide adventures in your life; and you knew so much things; as I can read most of your blogs too. I can say, it's very interesting.
You reach your age now with no regrets at all; because of your so much experiences in life. I was really impressed with your achievements in life Sir.
Thank you for being with me today Sir; it is very much highly appreciated. And thank you also for liking our Japanese movies and actor. Yes, you are perfectly right; there is no great movies now. The old movies and songs are really the best and great!
Respectfully Yours,
Crystal
