This document discusses gender as a social and cultural construct rather than being based solely on sex. It defines gender studies as the analysis of gender discrimination and disadvantages faced by different genders, particularly women, in various fields in Pakistan. The aims of gender studies are to promote open-mindedness about issues faced by both genders and to provide equity and equality. Key areas of focus include problems faced by disadvantaged genders in formal paid labor sectors as well as informal domestic work, and how understanding gender can help address challenges for minorities, the disadvantaged, oppressed, impoverished, and victims of violence.

WID WAD & GAD
The document summarizes three approaches to women and development: WID, WAD, and GAD. WID emerged in the 1970s and viewed women's problems as stemming from their exclusion from development programs. It aimed to integrate women but did not address gender discrimination. WAD emerged in the late 1970s and saw women as important economic actors, but failed to analyze patriarchy. GAD developed in the 1980s as an alternative that questions gender roles and the power relations between men and women. It views women as agents of change and emphasizes promoting women's emancipation through social services.
Gender Equality
The document discusses gender discrimination and inequality in various contexts. It begins with quotes emphasizing the need to raise both sons and daughters with egalitarian values. It then discusses discrimination against women in India through unequal wages, sexual harassment, familial status discrimination, domestic violence, human trafficking, and state-sanctioned discriminatory laws. Politicians' statements reflecting patriarchal mindsets are also criticized. Theories on gender socialization and identity construction are outlined. International laws like CEDAW and EU principles that promote gender equality are mentioned. In summary, the document analyzes pervasive gender discrimination and inequality in India through different social, legal, economic, and political lenses.
Difference bw gender and sex
This document discusses gender education globally. It begins by defining the differences between gender and sex, with gender referring to socially constructed roles and sex referring to biological characteristics. It then discusses concepts like gender equality, gender roles, gender stereotypes, and gender differences. Several sections explore how global goals around education for all and reducing poverty have established frameworks for assessing gender equality in education internationally. Key indicators for measuring gender disparities in education are also presented.
Gender inequality presentation
This document discusses gender inequality around the world and in various contexts. It begins by defining gender inequality and outlining sociological theories about it. It then examines manifestations of inequality in the home, workplace, schools, and other areas of society. Specific issues addressed include the gender wage gap, stereotypes, discrimination, domestic abuse, and lack of opportunities for women in certain countries. The document advocates for raising awareness, promoting education and literacy for women, enacting equal pay, and addressing healthcare and violence against women to help solve the problem of ongoing gender inequality.
Feminism
Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining and establishing equal political, economic, and social rights for women. It has occurred in three waves, focusing on women's suffrage, gender equality, and continued issues of oppression, respectively. Feminism explores the interconnected nature of concepts like patriarchy, sexism, and women's status globally that contribute to women's inequality. It aims to challenge these systems through perspectives like liberal, radical, socialist, and postcolonial feminism.
Threewaves
The document summarizes the history and key aspects of three waves of feminism:
First wave feminism emerged in the late 19th century and focused on gaining legal rights like suffrage, education access, and property rights. It largely involved upper class white women. The second wave began in the 1960s and addressed issues like employment discrimination, reproductive rights, and cultural representations of women. It was more diverse but also divided. The third wave from the 1980s onward incorporated issues of race, sexuality and backlash while critiquing aspects of previous waves. It emphasized diversity and countercultures over direct political action alone.
Gender and development.-ppt
The document discusses gender disparity in technological, social, and economic development in third world countries. It notes that while overall living standards have improved, gains have not been equal between genders. Women tend to be disproportionately represented among the poor and have less access to resources like education, land, credit, and technical training. As a result, women often work in subsistence agriculture or low-paying manufacturing jobs. While efforts have sought to promote gender equality, continued work is needed to address barriers preventing women from entering male-dominated fields like technology education and ensure their full participation and decision-making in development.
IV Gender Studies
Gender studies analyzes theories that problematize heterosexuality and normalize alternative sexualities. It examines how gender is a fluid, socially constructed identity that does not necessarily align with biological sex. Gender studies scholars challenge essentialist notions of fixed gender identities and sexualities, arguing instead that they exist on a continuum that is historically and culturally contingent.

Postmodern feminism
Postmodern feminism refers to the feminist theory system that is inclusive of postmodern ideals
and post-structuralism theory. In this regard, it is believed that postmodern feminism goes past

The effect of this is influence of feminist studies that intersect sexuality, race, gender and race
issues. Film and TV are among the media widely used for purposes of furthering intersecting
roles.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEX AND GENDER
DENMARK - First country to legalise same-sex marriage
netherland - 1st legal same sex marriage took place
The terms male and female are both used in gender and sex where in sex it refers to body orientation and whereas in gender it refers to behaviour
Gender equality .milagros gil
Gender equality is the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and opportunities regardless of gender. Historically, concepts like "machismo" promoted the idea that men are superior to women and responsible for providing for their families, which led to the devaluation of women's abilities and denial of equal opportunities like education and work. These attitudes contributed to major family violence problems as some men felt they had rights over their wives and could impose their will through physical and psychological abuse. It is important to move past these harmful, outdated views through respectful dialogue that promotes human dignity and equality for all.

Governance of USA
The document discusses the governance system of the United States, which follows a presidential system. It outlines the requirements to be a presidential candidate, the election process, and the three branches of government: the legislative branch (Congress), executive branch (President and Cabinet), and judicial branch (Supreme Court and federal courts). The presidential system has merits like a fixed executive tenure and unity in administration, but also drawbacks like potential conflicts between the executive and legislative branches. Overall, the presidential system has been successful in the US due to growth of the party system and presidential leadership working with Congress.

For each tense, it provides examples of formation and usage. The simple future can be formed using "will" or "be going to", while the other tenses involve various combinations of "will/shall" with forms of "have" and the present participle or past participle of verbs.
Who moved my cheese
The story follows four characters - two mice named Sniff and Scurry, and two small people named Hem and Haw - who live in a maze and find cheese each day at a cheese station. One day, the cheese at that station runs out. The mice quickly find new cheese at another station, but Hem and Haw refuse to accept the change and mourn the loss of their cheese. Haw eventually decides to search the maze for new cheese, though Hem refuses. Haw discovers a new cheese station and wishes Hem had joined him. The moral is that one should not resist change but instead move with the flow of time and keep adapting to changes.
Major premises of symbolic interaction theory
Symbolic interaction theory has three main premises:
1) Humans act based on the meanings of things, which come from social interactions rather than being inherent.
2) The meanings of things arise through social interaction with others.
3) These meanings are modified through an interpretive process as individuals interpret meanings to guide their own actions.
A woman's place in the Board Room
The document discusses the benefits of having women in leadership positions such as boardrooms. It suggests that women have superior social skills that make them well-suited for roles in finance and human resources. Women bring qualities like freshness, liveliness, ensuring all voices are heard, maintaining calmness, objectivity, and following rules to boardroom settings. The document also argues that women are better thinkers than men as they critically analyze information and make decisions. However, leadership roles have traditionally been held by men. The most effective leadership model is the transformational model, which sees women's work in a positive light.

Discourse analysis
Christian wedding rituals typically take place in a church before friends and family. There are various pre-wedding, wedding, and post-wedding rituals and traditions. These include bridal showers, bachelor parties, unveiling of the bride, exchanging rings, reciting vows, the reception with the first dance and toasts to the couple, and bouquet throwing where the woman who catches it is said to be next to marry. Different Christian denominations may have diverse wedding practices and beliefs regarding marriage.
Theories of Gender Typing
The document discusses four major theories of gender typing: psychoanalytic theory, social learning theory, cognitive development theory, and gender schema theory. Psychoanalytic theory proposed by Freud suggests that gender typing results from the psychosexual stages of development. Social learning theory emphasizes that children learn gender roles through reinforcement and modeling of same-gender parents and peers. Cognitive development theory such as Kohlberg's suggests children actively work to understand gender concepts and construct their own gender identity. Gender schema theory proposes that children form mental frameworks for processing information based on their gender.
Sexual terrorism
The document discusses the victimization of women through a system of "sexual terrorism" perpetuated by a male-dominated power structure. It describes the ideology, propaganda, amorality, and voluntary compliance that comprise this system and encourage violence against women. The pathology of the perpetrator includes adherence to masculine ideologies and a need for power, as well as often having a history of witnessing or experiencing abuse. Forms of sexual terrorism mentioned include wife battering, child sexual abuse, rape, and using pornography to further propagate the ideology.
Gender and violence
This document discusses different types of violence against women. It identifies physical, psychological, and sexual violence. Physical violence includes hitting and domestic violence. Psychological violence causes trauma through pressure or abuse. Sexual violence includes forced sexual acts, often perpetrated against women by male family members through incest. The document notes that gender-based violence occurs through men asserting power over women. It recommends treating women as human beings, eliminating derogatory language, increasing awareness of laws and punishments, reporting crimes of violence, providing protection and support to victims, and ensuring legal aid and consequences for offenses.
Knowledge Management
The document discusses a study of the use of knowledge management systems in a nonprofit organization called R.H. Aid. The organization currently operates both as a nonprofit and a consulting firm but is focusing on becoming fully nonprofit. The researchers interviewed the head of the organization to understand how knowledge is managed and shared. They found that while no formal knowledge management system exists, knowledge is shared between employees through on-the-job training and personal interactions, which has helped improve work efficiency and client relationships. However, the organization does not actively promote or measure its knowledge management practices.
World religions
The document discusses world religions and describes Hinduism and its core texts, the Vedas. It explains that the Vedas are the oldest literary compositions in the world, composed in India between 5000-2000 BC. The Vedas teach belief in one supreme god Brahma and three personified powers - creation, preservation, and destruction. There are four Vedas - Rig, Sama, Yajur, and Atharva - which cover religious hymns, prayers, chants, and spells from ancient times in India.
Status of women_in_judaism
Women in Judaism had religious identities centered around rituals in the home and raising children with Jewish identities. Their primary role was seen as maintaining the household. Women's sexuality and periods were viewed as impure, and women were expected to remain in the home. A woman's worth was tied to her virginity prior to marriage. Legislation around adultery focused on the rights of husbands and defined it as a sin against the husband.
Status of women in islam
The document discusses the status of women in Islam based on teachings from the Quran. It states that men and women were both created from a single soul and as pairs. The Quran teaches that women are individuals responsible for their own deeds and that both men and women will be judged equally based on their actions. It emphasizes the importance of kind treatment between husbands and wives and promoting understanding in family decisions. Mothers hold a position of high respect according to the Quran.
Status of women in hinduism
The document discusses the status of women in Hinduism according to ancient religious scriptures. It notes that the Rig Veda and other Vedic texts often refer to women in a disapproving manner and sanction harmful practices like sati, polygamy, and female infanticide. Daughters were less desired than sons. However, women had access to education and could participate in religious rituals. The status of mothers was high. Widowhood practices have relaxed over time but were once very restrictive. Property inheritance laws sometimes favored daughters.
Status of women in christianity
Christianity began as a sect of Judaism based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Bible describes the creation of woman from Adam's rib to be his companion. Women's status in Christianity is generally subordinate to men. The Bible states women should submit to their husbands and be silent in church. It also contains passages interpreted as viewing women or the birth of daughters negatively. While polygamy was practiced by some biblical figures, Christianity now advocates monogamy and prohibits divorce except under specific circumstances. Women were traditionally not entitled to inheritance and were expected to dress and behave modestly.
Status of women in buddhism
Buddhism held mixed views towards women's status. While it recognized women's individuality and path to salvation, Buddhist texts also portrayed women as inferior and subordinate to men. The Buddha married but saw marriage as an impediment to spiritual attainment. He admitted women to the sangha (monastic order) but with restrictions, claiming women were easily angered and lacked intelligence. Widows could remarry or join the nunneries. Mothers were honored but wives were subordinate to husbands. Overall, Buddhism elevated women's position in society but still viewed them as lesser than men.
