分析亚洲女性的case study
本文展示了世界上对亚洲女人的共有观点,他们认为亚洲女人缺乏改变自己人生轨迹或是社会地位的渴望。这个问题就是有关世界如何看待亚洲老年女性的:是因为没有察觉或是缺乏教育。这个观点不是要支持女性权利过于局限,而是要讨论亚洲女性惯常的不愿改变她们的性别责任。这些女性当中的大多数都忽视了接受适当教育的重要性,也不关注提升自己的生活品质,改善世人对自己的观点态度。在本研究调查之中,多数男性都对自己忽视接受教育,比如阅读和写作的做法表示后悔。
或许女性对教育不感兴趣,是因为从一开始教育就离她们很远。她们将自己看做只为取悦丈夫和生育孩子的人。如果教育能够早些被引进到她们的生活,在她们还年轻的时候,或许一切都不一样。大多数亚洲老年女性都是穆斯林,她们接受的文化要求她们蒙上面纱,也被称作希贾布。这些女性认为,没有蒙上面纱的女人是不正常的。在很多国家,尤其是法国,曾经就面纱问题产生过激烈的讨论。
The paper presents the worldview of Asian women whom the world perceive to lack any yearning for change in their lives or in their society in general. The question is how the world views the Asian elderly women: it is due to unawareness or being uneducated. This statement is not in support of women limited responsibilities, but is due to refusal to change by Asian women from their customary gender responsibilities. Most of these women ignore the significances of having proper education and the prospective presented to them to advance their lives and the world’s perception. During the research, most men are regretful for their ignorance to attain education like reading and writing.
Possibly the women lack of interest in education is because it was not part of them from the start (Abbas, 2003). They view themselves as beings with a role to compliment their husbands and have children. If education had been introduced earlier in their lives, when they were young may be there could be a difference after all. Most of elderly Asian women are Muslims and they embrace the culture of wearing head scarves referred to as hijab (Damji &Lee, 2005). These women believe that any woman who is not covering her head is immoral. There have been a heated debate over the wearing of hijab in different countries specifically France (Abbas, 2003).
Statement of the problem
Most Asian women who are elderly are perceived to be uneducated whose work is to act like servants to their husbands. These women did not have formal education and because of this, the world recognizes them as illiterates. Most of these women while growing up followed the culture where men were the superiors. They would marry at young ages of around thirteen and above.
In Asian, a woman is a symbol of household. She is not allowed to even be a leader.
Objectives of the study
The objectives of this research are to find out how the Asian women are recognized by the world generally and how they take these perceptions.
Methodology for solving the problem
The Asian women voices need to be paid attention to and understood through their personal tales. In an effort to listen to their experiences and understand their gender insights, I interviewed older Asian women from different backgrounds. Though my focus was on gender insights, I knew there were other factors that influenced them in their lives like race, traditions, and customs. I included all these factors in my research to help me understand the women identity.
Data collection
I employed the open-ended questions in my interviews with the Asian women. This allowed my participants to provide flowing ideas and construct their narratives. My interviews commenced with a questionnaire, which inquired about the place of birth, date of birth, and the differences they find about the current world, the kind of shelter they lived in, what they missed about their early lives and their advice to young girls. T o give the women moment to reflect, I presented them with interview queries before a one-on one interview. I used about five to six hours on each woman and taped the conversation.
All the women preferred the interview to employ their native language because they could not understand any other language. Once the information was gathered, copies were made. After the transcription, I read the transcripts from the interviews and made highlights on the information allied to my research. The accumulated data was then split to different categories for analysis. In order to tell the participants perceptive, I decided to use their quotes. I real
