			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Patriarchal societies to promote women&#8217;s rights&#8217; abuses</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The world today is very different from what it was 50 years ago. It has changed, sometimes for better and sometimes worse. Places have changed and with them people too. In general, people today have greater acceptance and tolerance of others and are open to other cultures and experience of their staff. Human rights have evolved and are practiced throughout the world, which distinguish what is human, is unbearable. The unit was among the countries that are willing to help each other so that 192 countries are members of the United Nations with the hope of the world a safer and healthier for all. In recent decades, many countries have focused on maintaining equity in their people, whether the wealth gap between rich and poor or gender. The idea that men are the superior sex, has long been forgotten for many communities. Although many countries have more problems between men and women are patriarchal societies still exist and it is these companies that promote the abuse of women&#8217;s rights. &#8220;<span id="more-234"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Patriarchal societies of Third World countries, for example from the Middle East, but mainly Asia and South Africa. In general, these countries refuse to release the power of ancient traditions and culture without realizing that many of these traditions are rejected because they must be unfair. For example, in India, where the ritual of dowry is alive and continues to cause problems in the measure that has the largest prison in the capital of a district separated from the mother-in-laws are abused or killed, the wives of his son. Currently, it houses about 120 women, some serving sentences of 20 years for the murder of her daughters-in-law &#8220;(Lavin, 2006). The Indians have their tradition of dowry for over a hundred years, although the dowry was handed Prohibition Act 1961 (Lavin, 2006), it fails to meet their end, and it is considered &#8221; folded paper tiger &#8220;(Lavin, 2006). It is said that&#8221; all 77 minutes of a dowry death is reported &#8220;(Lavin, 2006) and presented in 2005, 7026 dowry deaths. It is difficult to believe a country in the amount of belly India still progressing such barbaric behavior which, by mass. One reason is as important as the dot, because the idea that girls are a burden to their family. Girls are not expected to work in most patriarchal societies, so if a man takes his daughter to a family which is a favor for them by releasing one of their charges so he should be rewarded with a sufficient dowry. The idea of man is the provider of the family is a primitive form, since it was created when the men were indeed the best solution to provide for the family, sex physically stronger, but it is more necessary budget to deal with success. A regular job with a living wage is a sufficient connection with a woman who can for himself and his family. When we ask women to work, they would never be a burden, but they were a man for financial security. Other than the restriction of women to lead their own lives and force them to marry, patriarchal households, many companies &#8220;continue to use the protection and rights of women, even after marriage. Sufficient domestic violence occurs in many Indian households, including rape within marriage and psychological abuse (Lavin, 2006). If women were in a position themselves, they would not be forced to remain in abusive relationships. According to the book entitled &#8220;Women&#8217;s Roles and Status Over The World&#8221; in 2000, &#8220;the sex ratio in the secondary recording was 83 women per 100 men, but the number of women in secondary vocational schools drop significantly compared to only 37 women per 100 men (Simon &amp; Hepburn, 2007). Education and work would be many third world women free against the physical and emotional abuse, girls are not seen as a burden, and this would lead to a decrease in abuse and issues such as female infanticide. Female infanticide is more common in patriarchal societies. mainly India and China where) the number of deaths of young girls shortly after birth, continues to grow (female infanticide. Parents prefer son more girls, since girls and parents weigh in a better position to have a family shame. Men are believed to be those who earn money from the family, while women were, as the source of the leak of an economic budget. Women are not only hated because of their inability to be profitable if they make the money comes home, she also abused and murdered if they do not lead the honor of a man, that either his father, brother or husband lucrative. &#8220;honor killings&#8221; a crime that most people in developed countries have never heard of, but unfortunately these crimes are still very common in patriarchal societies. &#8220;killings &#8216;honor&#8217; is the name that the murder of a woman who was killed by members of the family because they brought shame upon them in any way (Khalaf Al-Ajely given in 2005). In countries such as &#8216;Iraq,&#8217; honor killings are an accepted practice &#8220;and are not registered as a general rule, the various (Al-Khalaf Ajely, 2005). Reasons for the&#8221; crimes of honor &#8220;to refuse to marry a man&#8217;s choice of the family to marry someone of their choice not to rape her. The fact that an innocent woman who, by members of his own family could be killed, is raped by a perverted chauvinism very overwhelming. Since the fall of Saddam, &#8220;over 400 women who were raped&#8221; and &#8220;more than half of them were murdered honor killings&#8221; (Khalaf Al-Ajely, 2005). Although &#8220;killings Honor killing are &#8220;of equal value, the guilty are treated differently, despite what they say right. A number of women murdered in&#8221; honor killings in Iraq has been Shawbo Rauf Ali, a 19-year-old, that being involved in a case of marriage further by her husband, this assumption on the unknown number one &#8220;came out, asked the accused after their phone&#8221; (Salih, 2007). Hawjin Hama Rashid, an activist women&#8217;s rights in Iraq, said: &#8220;The honor is a source of motivation for violence against women, because in a patriarchal society and women are considered the honor of their husbands&#8221; (Salih, 2007) .</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some say that just because it is a patriarchal society that does not mean that abuse of women&#8217;s rights. Many women are content in their male-dominated environment. They believe that their position is among colleagues. The very purpose of life is for many, is to take care of her husband and family. A number of Muslim countries are deprived of the West for women on their rights and for a handful of countries accused of this could be true. Women in these countries seem satisfied because they believe they actually follow their religion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many believe that gender equality and Islamic law, two opposing themes. For the West, Islam is unjust attitude towards women, polygamy, divorce, child custody, inheritance and women as witnesses &#8220;(Mashour, 2005). However, the Islam does not support the injustice done to women in general. This was the first religion to women the right to inherit from their fathers, and entitles them to their husbands (Mashour, select 2005). A man, the right to have up to four wives at once is misused by many Muslim men today (Mashour, 2005), there is a certain criteria when a man could marry more than once in the Koran. Many Muslim men find it acceptable for a woman who had disgraced, but never attack it says in the Qur&#8217;an that is acceptable for a life of a young girl named &#8220;crimes honor him &#8220;(Mashour, 2005). In the case of Islamic states, culture and religion is so confused that people justify &#8220;honor killings&#8221;, saying that it is mandatory in Islam. Women have no hesitation in following the &#8220;Islamic&#8221; and because they believe they are sacred, do not know that he has only a cultural and not religious at all, &#8220;the deterioration of women&#8217;s rights in many Islamic countries do with Islam and nature to do most of the inequalities between the sexes is not unique to Islam, but are primarily the result of a traditional patriarchal society dominated by men &#8220;(Mashour, 2005) It is true that many women do not complain about their situation in those countries, but because they have worked to adapt and compromise their own well-being. The girls, whose lives have been torn from their children not as which amounted to believe that their way of life and meet their future husbands and families, regardless, no matter how it is treated. So if they are abused girls ready to bare the pain. The women in these countries do not have strong organizations that they turn to if need help. Even the police are not willing to help any, because such abuses are considered &#8220;standard offer&#8221; in such societies. Not only is difficult to help women find it is also difficult for them to be free of such relationships. Divorce is not supported by many families as it is watched. Divorcee girls have tried a time difficult to marry, and that it is unlikely to be able to support themselves financially, they are less motivated than separation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ultimately, the main cause of the rights of women in patriarchal societies abuse of lack of education. Educated women are what is right and what is wrong, it would be of assistance, aware of it and other options to set up the abuse and, above all, they were informed of their rights is available to date. They would be able to distinguish religion from culture and tradition. Women also need to recognize that their position in society are equal to men in their society is not among them. Patriarchal societies, which is usually a prudent limit for women to achieve their full potential in the first instance, by limiting their education and, secondly, the application of cultural baggage they apply only.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Custom Law Essays require a certain style and format if they are to be written effectively.<br/><br/>In a Law school essay, you need to present your reasons to admissions officers tactfully. You need to keep in mind that admission officers tend to receive essays with sentences that don’t really help applicants and are far too familiar. If you have to write a Law school essay on the theme ‘Why I Want to be a Lawyer’, you need to provide solid reasons for you wanting to pursue becoming a lawyer. You can’t just say that you want to become a lawyer.<br/><br/>The first thing is to clarify the subject matter so that you identify the area of law that is being addressed. Sometimes this will be obvious as when the question asks about the differences between an offer and an invitation to treat which will direct you towards the law of Contract. However, sometimes the question is more obscure and this requires more effort in determining what the subject matter is and might involve looking at more than one area of the law. If a question asks about the terror laws, then this may well span human rights and constitutional law too.<br/><br/>This is absolutely vital when answering a question. Often the essay will ask you to evaluate something; reflect on something; write a critique; discuss a particular statement; reflect on a judge’s particular statement in a case, or discuss the impact of a case on an area of law. If a question asks you to compare more than one thing, then you must identify the similarities and differences between them, and ideally reach a conclusion as to which one you think is preferable. If a question asks you to discuss something then you must study and comment on it from all viewpoints, and reach your own conclusion.<br/><br/>The structure of the essay is extremely important. If a custom essays exceeds 10,000 words, a contents page and chapter headings should be included and, even in shorter essays, it might be appropriate to set out chapter headings. Chapters are relevant where the answer straddles a wide area of law and addresses several areas. Chapters help focus both the writer and the reader on what is being discussed and maintain focus. One major criticism of law custom essay writing is that they drift from the main topic and angle that they are meant to address, and the thread and point are lost. Another criticism is that the writer tends to just list the legislation and discuss the topic without containing any incisive opinions of the writer. An introduction and conclusion should be included.<br/><br/>Make sure that your sources are current; this is vital because quite often questions are written which are impacted by recent changes or even proposed changes in the law. So a question on Control Orders should be looked at in the light of the proposed increase in detention periods and the impact on human rights.<br/><br/>The correct referencing should be used consistently throughout. It is vital to give credit when quoting someone else; otherwise the essay may be plagiarized. It is never acceptable to cut and paste from the internet. Neither should you copy directly from a book unless you give the appropriate credit. Copying huge sections, even if credit is given, will not be looked upon favorably. The examiner will be looking for the writer’s comments and own views and opinions, based on a sound interpretation of the law and thorough research. The examiner will be looking to see that the writer has researched several resources. References to case law must be relevant and illustrative. Remember to include a full bibliography.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Patriarchal Societies Promote Women&#8217;s Rights&#8217; Abuses<br/><br/>Today&#8217;s world differentiates a lot from what it was 50 years ago. It has transformed; sometimes for the better and sometimes for worse. Places have changed and with them their people have too. In general, today&#8217;s people have more acceptance and tolerance towards one and other and are open to experiencing cultures different from their own. The Human Rights have developed and are practiced across the globe, distinguishing what is humane from what is intolerable. Unification is seen amongst countries which are willing to aid each other hence 192 countries are members of the UN with the hope of making the world a safer and healthier place for all. Over the past few decades many countries have been concentrating on maintaining equity within their people whether it&#8217;s regarding wealth between the rich and poor or equal rights between both sexes. The notion that men are the superior sex has been long forgotten for many communities. Although many countries no longer have problems between men and women, patriarchal societies still exist and it is these societies that promote women&#8217;s rights&#8217; abuses.<br/><br/>Patriarchal societies consist of Third World Countries, some from the Middle East but mostly from South East Asia and Africa. Generally these countries refuse to rid themselves of ancient traditions and culture not realizing that many of these traditions must be discarded since they are unjust. For example in India where the ritual of dowries lives on and continues to cause hassle, to the extent that the largest jail of the capital has a separated quarter for mother-in-laws who murdered or abused their sons&#8217; wives. Presently it is ‘home to roughly 120 women, some of whom are serving 20-year sentences for murdering their daughters-in-law&#8217; (Lavin, 2006). Indians have clasped their dowry tradition for over hundreds of years although The Dowry Prohibition Act was released back in 1961 (Lavin, 2006), it fails to fulfill its purpose and so it is looked upon as a &#8220;paper tiger&#8221; (Lavin, 2006). It is said that ‘every 77minutes a dowry death is reported&#8217; (Lavin, 2006) and in the year 2005 7,026 reported dowry deaths occurred. It is difficult to believe that a country progressing at the rate of India still stomachs such barbaric behavior that is happening in masses. One of the reasons dowries are considered so important is because of the notion that girls are burdens to their families. Girls are not expected to work in most  patriarchal societies thus when a husband takes the daughter away from a family he is doing a favor for them by releasing them from one of their burdens therefore he should be rewarded with an adequate dowry. The idea of men being the provider of the family is a primeval one since it originated in the times when men were in fact the better option for providing for the family being the physically stronger sex however this is no longer essential to successfully handle a household. A regular job accompanied with a decent wage is enough to make a woman capable of providing for herself and family. If women were encouraged to work they would never be considered a burden nor would they depend on a man for financial security. Other than limiting women from leading their own lives and forcing themselves into marriage, many patriarchal societies&#8217; households further seize the protection and rights of women even after marriage. A sufficient amount of domestic abuse takes place in numerous Indian households, including marital rape and emotional abuse (Lavin, 2006). If women were able to support themselves they would not be forced into staying in abusive relationships. According to the book titled &#8220;Women&#8217;s Roles and statuses-The World Over&#8221; in the year of 2000, ‘the ratio of female to male enrollment in secondary school was 83 women to every 100 men&#8217; however the number of women in post secondary schools drop significantly in comparison with only 37 women to every 100 men (Hepburn &amp; Simon, 2007). Education and work would free many Third World women from physical and emotional abuse, girls would not be looked upon as burdens and this would lead to a decline in cases of abuse and issues such as female infanticide. Female Infanticide is most common in patriarchal societies. It is most prominent in India and China, where the number of deaths of girls shortly after birth, continues to increase (Female Infanticide). Parents prefer to have sons over daughters since daughters weigh down parents and are also more capable of dishonoring a family. Men are believed to be the ones that will ensure the family by earning money whilst women are considered the source of economic drainage for a household. Women are not only loathed due to their incapability of being profitable when it comes to bringing money home, they also become the object of abuse and murder when they fail to carry the honor of a man whether it is their father, brother or husband, lucratively. ‘Honor Killings&#8217; is a crime that most people in developed countries would have never heard of but unfortunately these crimes are still very common in patriarchal societies. ‘Honor killings&#8217; is the name given to the murder of a woman who was killed by family members because she had brought shame to them in some way, (Khalaf Al-Ajely, 2005). In countries such as Iraq, ‘honor killings are an accepted practice&#8217; and usually are not reported, (Khalaf Al-Ajely, 2005). Reasons for ‘honor killings&#8217; differ, from refusing to marry a man of the family&#8217;s choice, to marrying someone of her own choice, to being raped. The fact that an innocent woman could be murdered by her own family members for being raped by a perverted chauvinist is extremely overwhelming. Since the fall of the Saddam regime, ‘more than 400 women have been raped&#8217; and ‘more than half of them have been murdered in honor killings&#8217; (Khalaf Al-Ajely, 2005). Although ‘honor killings&#8217; are equivalent to murder, culprits are treated differently despite of what authorizes say. One of the many women murdered in ‘honor killings&#8217; in Iraq was Shawbo Rauf Ali, a 19 year old who was accused of being involved in an extra marital affair by her husband, who made this assumption based on a sole ‘unknown number that appeared on her cell phone&#8217; (Salih, 2007).  Hawjin Hama Rashid, a Women&#8217;s Rights activist in Iraq stated that ‘honor has been a prime motivator of violence against women, because in such a patriarchal society women are considered the honor of their men&#8217;, (Salih, 2007).<br/><br/>Some would argue that just because a society is patriarchal it does not mean that it abuses women rights. Many women are content living in their male dominated environment. They believe that their position is below their counterparts. For many the entire purpose of living is to care for their husband and his family. A number of Muslim states are accused by the West of depriving their women of their rights and for a handful of these states, this could be true. The women in these states appear satisfied since they believe that they are truly following their religion.<br/><br/>Many believe that gender equality and Islamic law are two conflicting issues. According to the West, Islam is unjust to women with its attitude towards ‘polygamy, divorce, child custody, inheritance and women as witnesses&#8217; (Mashour, 2005). However, Islam does not support injustice to women at all. It was the first religion to give women the rights to inherit from their fathers and also gives them the right to choose their husbands (Mashour, 2005). A man&#8217;s right to keep up to four wives at a time is misused by many Muslim men today, (Mashour, 2005) since there is a specific criteria to when a man could marry more than once in the Holy Qur&#8217;an. Many Muslim men find it acceptable to assault a women who dishonored them but nowhere does it say in the Qur&#8217;an that it is acceptable to take a life of a girl by the name of ‘honor crimes&#8217;, (Mashour, 2005). In the cases of Islamic States, culture is confused with religion to such an extent that people justify ‘honor killings&#8217; by saying it is required in Islam. Women do not hesitate in following ‘Islamic&#8217; ways since they feel that they are sacred, unaware that it is just cultural and not religious at all, ‘deterioration of women&#8217;s rights in many Islamic countries has nothing to do with their Islamic nature and that most of the gender inequalities are not based on Islam but are mainly the result of traditional, patriarchal, male dominated societies&#8217;, (Mashour, 2005) It&#8217;s true that many women do not complain of their situation from these countries but this is because they are functioned to adjust and compromise for their own well being. The girls who&#8217;s lives are not snatched from them as infants, are brought up to believe that their purpose of living is to cater and care for their future husbands and families regardless of how they are treated. So when they are abused girls are willing to bare the pain. Women in these countries do not have strong organizations that they could turn to when in need of help. Even the police are not willing to offer any assistance since such abuses are considered ‘normal&#8217; in such societies. Not only is it difficult for women to find help, it is also difficult for them to just free themselves of such relationships. Divorce is unsupported by many families as it is looked down upon on. Divorcee girls have a hard time trying to get remarried plus the fact they   will probably not be able to support themselves financially leaves them less motivated about separation.<br/><br/>Ultimately, the main cause of the women&#8217;s rights abuse in patriarchal societies is the lack of education. Educated women will be aware of what is right and what is wrong, they would be aware of the help that is available for them and options other than putting up with abuse and most importantly they would be aware of their rights. They would be able to differentiate religion from culture and tradition. Also women need to realize that their position in society is equal to that of the men in their society not below them. Patriarchal societies which are mostly conservative limit their women of reaching their full potential firstly by limiting their education and secondly by enforcing cultural baggage on them which only holds them down.<br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/>Refrences<br/><br/>Al-Ajely, Z (2005) Killing for Honour.
