An outsider might not know that I’m a lesbian and that I am married to a woman. Social Workers additional knowledge of the culture of a member of the LGBTQ community would be very beneficial for not only the Social Worker but more importantly the client. King et al. (2007) argues that (as cited in Alessi, 2013, p. 224)” therapists and counselors still require specialized knowledge to understand how to support a range of sexual identities such as bisexuality; how sexuality is understood by families and how they respond; the difficulties encountered by sexual minority youth; therapist expertise and sensitivity regarding LGBTQ issues; and the effect of therapists’ sexual orientation on the treatment process.” LGBTQ community members endure unique difficulties as those of other cultures so it is very important for Social Worker and others in the helping profession to be culturally aware.
While is it almost impossible to know every single detail regarding a specific culture, having the aware of the differences between cultures is important. Some potential consequences due to a lack of cultural awareness would be possible loss of clients trust and cooperation, doing more harm than good to clients, possible loss of job and even license. Social Workers who are not culturally aware could unintentionally make a discriminatory or prejudice statement resulting in the client/Social Worker relationship being harmed.

A social worker would need to know about what your race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. I am an African American female. I was raised up in church. I am a Christian. I believe in the power of prayer. The foods that I grew up eating are collard greens, peas, pig tails, pig feet, corn bread, chicken, neckbones, and pork chop. I was talk to respect everyone no matter what their age are. My mother did not work. She received food stamps, TANF, and Medicaid to help provide for her family. My mother also received child support. My grandmother and uncle raised me because my mother was always going somewhere. Some consequences of a lack of cultural awareness on the social worker’s part are if you do not know about different religions, you might say something wrong without knowing it. A social worker may offend a client without knowing it by talking to them using a certain tone of voice. You must to set aside culture differences. You cannot be judgmental. You must to be empathetic.

This document summarizes corruption depicted in Chetan Bhagat's novel Revolution 2020. It discusses how the protagonist Gopal is coerced into helping a corrupt politician, MLA Shukla-ji, convert agricultural land into an educational institution through bribery and threats. Many government officials are bribed at various stages of the project approval process. The document also discusses how corruption is prevalent in other areas like deemed university approvals and teacher hiring. Political parties use advertising money to influence media coverage and prevent exposés of corruption.
This document summarizes and analyzes political overtones and allusions in Arundhati Roy's novel The Ministry of Utmost Happiness. It begins by defining allusions and explaining their purpose and use in literature. It then discusses several significant political events and issues alluded to in the novel, including the Emergency period under Indira Gandhi, the Bhopal gas tragedy, the Babri Masjid demolition, and the rise of Hindu nationalism and attacks on minorities under the Modi government. The paper aims to decode these allusions to help readers better understand the political commentary and critique in Roy's novel.
Revolution 2020: Love, Corruption, Ambition is a 2011 novel by Chetan Bhagat. Its story is concerned with a love triangle, corruption and a journey of self-discovery. R2020 has addressed the issue of how private coaching institutions exploit aspiring engineering students and how parents put their lifetime's earnings on stake for these classes so that their children can crack engineering exams and change the fortune of the family. While a handful accomplish their dreams, others sink into disaster.[1] The book is available as an Audiobook on Amazon.[2]
The novel weaves together the stories of people navigating some of the darkest and most violent episodes of modern Indian history, from land reform that dispossessed poor farmers to the 2002 Godhra train burning and Kashmir insurgency.[3] Roy's characters run the gamut of Indian society and include an intersex woman (hijra), a rebellious architect, and her landlord who is a supervisor in the intelligence service.[4] The narrative spans across decades and locations, but primarily takes place in Delhi and Kashmir.

This paper analyzes Jean Rhys' novels Voyage in the Dark and Wide Sargasso Sea, focusing on their portrayal of the difficult experiences of young Creole women in patriarchal societies. Both novels can be read as "failed bildungsromane" as the protagonists Anna and Antoinette face abuse, oppression, and ultimately self-destruction rather than personal development. The novels also reflect Judith Halberstam's concept of "shadow feminism" through their use of passivity, negation, and self-destruction as a form of resistance to patriarchal norms. While the novels are set decades apart, they highlight the ongoing mistreatment and marginalization of women throughout history.
This document summarizes a study analyzing themes of displacement in Jean Rhys' novel Wide Sargasso Sea. The study focuses on the unnamed Western husband of the main character Antoinette and reasons for his feelings of displacement in the Caribbean. It provides context on post-colonial theory and previous analyses of the novel, which primarily centered on Antoinette's oppression. The objective is to understand the husband's perspective and how his alienation contributed to his mistreatment of Antoinette.
1) The document discusses a postcolonial reading of the novel Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys, which retells the story of Bertha Mason from Jane Eyre from the perspective of a Creole woman.
2) It analyzes Rhys' portrayal of characters like Mr. Rochester and his "orientalist" attitudes towards Creole people and culture, seen through his interactions with Antoinette.
3) It examines how Rhys aims to give voice to the silenced "other" and disrupt the imperialist perspectives of the original novel, though some critics argue she also perpetuates stereotypes about native West Indians.
Rhys treats the two central characters, Antoinette and the Man, differently in their naming. She gives Antoinette her "real" name while denying the Man any name at all. This mirrors Bronte's treatment of Bertha in Jane Eyre and is part of Rhys' critique of English imperialism. By denying the Man a name, Rhys suggests he represents English colonialism and its fear of the unfamiliar. She exercises authorial power over him by refusing him an identity, in contrast to her reclaiming of Antoinette's identity.
1) The document provides a detailed summary and analysis of Jean Rhys' novel Wide Sargasso Sea. It examines themes of self-identity, displacement, and racial tensions in post-emancipation Caribbean society through the story of the novel's protagonist Antoinette Cosway.
2) The novel explores Antoinette's fragmented identity as a white creole woman and her increasing alienation, leading to madness, as prejudices and resentment build between the white plantation owners and freed black slaves in post-slavery Jamaica.
3) Through shifting narrators and temporal jumps, the novel examines the complex issues of cultural belonging and psychological roots for both black and white inhabitants in the newly pluralistic yet still conflict-
Confronting Authority: J.M. Coetzee's Foe and the Remaking of Robinson Crusoe Goswami Mahirpari
Susan Naramore Maher discusses how J.M. Coetzee's novel Foe undermines the authority of Daniel Defoe and Robinson Crusoe through its reimagining of the story. In Foe, Crusoe is depicted as a purposeless and unproductive man who refuses to shape the island or help the story's true creator, Susan Barton. The novel confronts Defoe's ideology of realism by highlighting the constructed nature of stories and questioning the ability of words to recreate experience.
This document provides a summary and analysis of J.M. Coetzee's novel "In the Heart of the Country" from a post-colonial feminist perspective. It discusses how the main character Magda struggles against the oppressive patriarchal order represented by her father. Magda seeks to express herself and reject the submissive role expected of her as a woman in Afrikaner society. The kitchen emerges as a symbol of power and space from which Magda plans to end her oppression by murdering her father. The analysis examines how Coetzee uses Magda to critique gender roles and identities under apartheid in South Africa.

This document summarizes an academic journal article that analyzes J.M. Coetzee's novel Foe as a parody of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. It argues that Coetzee uses parody to critique not just Defoe's novel, but the broader ideology of colonialism that Crusoe represents. By claiming Foe preceded Crusoe, Coetzee throws the realism of Crusoe into doubt and suggests Defoe manipulated the truth. Coetzee also artificially reconstructs silenced voices in Crusoe to show how Defoe promoted justifications for colonial power. The summary aims to uncover what these two "voices" say about colonialism and its justifications through a comparison of key
Narrative art as a colonizing process an analysis of the meta fiGoswami Mahirpari
This summary analyzes a scholarly article that examines J.M. Coetzee's novel Foe. The article argues that Coetzee uses meta-fictional elements in Foe to portray narrative writing as a colonizing act. It also argues that the internal narrative depicts colonization as constructing identities for colonized others. Specifically:
1) Coetzee shows that narrative writing colonizes subjects by objectifying and defining their identities according to the writer's perspectives and desires.
2) All human relationships take on a colonial dynamic because they are based on stories that colonize others.
3) For a person to have substance and be known, their history must be constructed through a narrative told from a colonial
This document provides a summary and analysis of themes in Jean Rhys' novels Voyage in the Dark and Wide Sargasso Sea. Both novels follow young women from the West Indies struggling to survive in patriarchal societies. While Voyage in the Dark is set in 1920s London and Wide Sargasso Sea is set in the 19th century Caribbean, both novels explore themes of female loneliness, despair, and oppression under patriarchal systems. Neither novel follows a traditional bildungsroman structure, as the protagonists are unable to develop or find their place in society due to their marginalized positions. The analysis draws connections to Jack Halberstam's concept of "shadow feminism" to understand how Rhys

It provides context on post-colonial theory and previous analyses of the novel, which primarily centered on Antoinette's oppression. The objective is to understand the husband's perspective and how his alienation contributed to his mistreatment of Antoinette.
- Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys retells the story of Bertha Mason from Jane Eyre from a postcolonial perspective, focusing on her life as Antoinette in the West Indies before her marriage.
- Rhys aims to give voice to the silenced and marginalized characters in Jane Eyre, particularly Antoinette/Bertha, and depict the orientalist attitudes towards Creole people in the Caribbean.
- Through multiple narrators, Rhys questions the reality of Antoinette's supposed madness and generates sympathy for her as a victim of patriarchal and imperial oppression, in contrast to Mr. Rochester.
Rhys treats the two central characters, Antoinette and the Man, differently in their naming. She gives Antoinette her "real" name while denying the Man any name at all. This mirrors Bronte's treatment of Bertha in Jane Eyre and is part of Rhys' critique of English imperialism. By denying the Man a name, Rhys suggests he represents English colonialism and its fear of the unfamiliar. She exercises authorial power over her characters' identities, reversing the power dynamic of Jane Eyre by giving Antoinette an identity while showing the Man has no right to his own name.

live, to give, to forgive, to serve, to suffer for worthy causes and to work for peace and unity. In
short, religion fosters a sense of moral obligation and higher spiritual consciousness in life. But
there is a distinction between religion in theory and religion in practice. Religion in practice can
be exploitative. In fact, exploitation by religion is commonplace all over the world, nowadays.
India is no exception to this inhuman practice. The underlying philosophy of all religions of the
world is humanity and tolerance based on morality. Invariably, all religions advocate the same
system of belief. Hence, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this oldest institution of the
world. It is the very errant and self-centred nature of the man that blackens its humane side.
Aruna strongly believes in the supremacy of Hindu religion over all other religions. She is highly
intolerant of Muslims because she does not appreciate their religion and culture. She is prejudiced
against their ways and manners and despises them for their „naturally‟ aggressive and violent
character. When Javed and Bobby are allowed into the house by her husband, she strongly
opposes their entry and chides her husband, “Why do you bring so much trouble on our heads”
(CP 184). She suspects the young men‟s identity and is apprehensive that “they might have
knives” (CP 186). She is very much aware of the harm and personal loss that her mother-in-law
Hardika and her family suffered in the hands of Muslims during the partition time. Even though
there is no eye witness to the killing of her father-in-law by Muslims, Aruna too, like her mother-
in-law Hardika, believes that he was brutally murdered by them in the Hindu-Muslim riot. Hence,
she does not want any such mishap to befall on her family. She says, “God knows, I don‟t want all
this violence” (CP 210).
Aruna is a typical traditional woman who distrusts the role of education in a woman‟s life. She
thinks that there are more maladies than advantages if a girl is sent out of the house for education.
For her, education has had a corrupting influence over her daughter. When she learns of Smita‟s
prior acquaintance with the Muslim boys at the college where she is studying, Aruna is shell-
shocked. Hence, she is least concerned about educating her daughter further. She tells her
husband, “Stop her studies! From now on, she can stay at home!” (CP 188). While Aruna is the
conservative face of Hinduism, Smita, her daughter, like her father represents the liberal voice.
Smita does not like to adhere to her mother‟s narrow religious views and customs. The modern
education she has received has taught her to be individualistic, rebellious and quite objective and
rational in her attitude. Ever since she was a child, Smita has been leading a life of suffocation
under the strict conditioning of her mother. Her freedom has been stifled by the religiosity of her
mother. She sounds so desperately yearning for freedom when she says, “Maybe we should all
run away from home” (CP 219). But, she has willingly sacrificed her individuality for her
mother‟s happiness and satisfaction. By the strength of love and regard for her mother Smita has
been able to endure all that she could not get along with. Smita tells her mother, “I love you
mummy, that‟s why I did it. I listened to you and I obeyed you. I tolerated your prejudices only
because you are my mother” (CP 213).
In the third act, Smita openly defies and criticizes her mother‟s conservative attitude and hollow
religious orthodoxy when Aruna prevents Javed from touching the bucket with which she
regularly fetches drinking water. It is with the same water that she bathes her gods. Hence, Aruna
is afraid that the bucket gets defiled and even the water being carried in it gets „contaminated‟
(CP 209) just by the touch of a Muslim. Generally, in conservative Hindu homes there has always
been a tacit dislike for and disapproval of everything which is associated with Muslims to the
extent that everything touched by them later is considered to be contaminated. Here,
contamination is less a matter of bodily cleanliness and more an inner pollution that is the
consequence of the consumption of forbidden, tabooed foods by Muslims. Aruna‟s subconscious
mind protests at the thought of the eating habits of Muslims, “How can I, I won‟t even harm a
goat or a chicken?” (CP 210).
Home is the first school and mother is the first teacher for a child. It is through her that a child
learns and develops an understanding about various aspects concerning life. This is particularly
true as regards the mother-daughter relationship. In her article “Mothers and Daughters: A
Comparative Critique of Fasting, Feasting and Difficult Daughters” Choubey rightly remarks,
“The conditioning begins at home and women are supposed to walk from mother‟s womb into
mother‟s shoes” (387). Aruna has always taken pride in her religion due to the enlightenment she
3. Mother-Daughter Conflict in Mahesh Dattani's Final Solutions`
International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature (IJSELL) Page | 55
received from her mother. She has never resisted or resented her mother when she forced her
idiosyncrasies on her in religious matters. She has never felt her mother was stifling her.
Moreover, she is so happy and grateful to her mother who had shown her “the path of truth” (CP
211). Now, she expects her daughter Smita also to emulate her. In this way, Aruna, unknowingly
seeks to shape Smita after herself, and considers any attempt of her towards expression of
individuality as an act of defiance. Aruna is shocked and visibly upset when she realizes that
Smita has been helping her in her daily religious rituals only to please her and not out of any
religious obligation or faith. Aruna feels perturbed by the fact that her daughter has not inherited
any of her qualities. Her daughter‟s lackadaisical attitude towards Hindu religion and culture is
the result of her gross ignorance of her cultural roots and its invaluable legacy.
On the other hand, Smita, who reposes her faith in personal choice and freedom in life, dismisses
her mother‟s version of „the truth‟ (CP 210) as not the only one and that she feels stifled in the
house, “Like a rat in a hole” (CP 210). It is all right to have a firm faith in one‟s own religion.
But this faith should not be rigid to the extent that you become intolerant and start disrespecting
other religions. Acharya Mahapragya remarks, “There‟s no harm in believing ourselves, but we
shouldn‟t remain adamant in controlling our thoughts. We should try and explore all facets of
truth, which is possible only when we can visualize truth from others‟ points of view” (22). This
is exactly what Smita tries to put into her mother‟s head when Aruna enters into an argument with
her about the time-honoured religious values and points out the eternal truth behind them:
ARUNA. . . I shall uphold what I believe is the truth.
SMITA. It is the truth only because you believe in it.
ARUNA. No! I will not accept that. Not from you.
SMITA. Why not?
ARUNA. I will not!
SMITA. You have to face it. You have to admit you are wrong!
ARUNA. You cannot tell me that I am wrong!
SMITA. Why not?
ARUNA. Because . . . because I will not accept that from someone who is not proud of her
inheritance. (Smita sits down, placing the brass pot lightly on her lap.) You cannot criticize what
you are running away from. You will be prejudiced. (CP 211)
The verbal repartee between the mother and the daughter gets personal as it reaches its acme, with
Aruna and Smita losing their mental calm and flinging snide comments against each other. When
Aruna questions Smita, “Does being a Hindu stifle you?” Smita gives a sharp retort, “No, living
with one does” (CP 211).
A mother often regards her children as a part of herself. Out of this natural motherly instinct
which is generally triggered by care and concern, she may, sometimes, try to make the children
wholly dependent on her for everything and control their lives so that they will always remain
safe and secured in life. If her attempts fail, she may be temporarily upset but soon reconciles
herself to the given situation. Smita is secular in her view on religion and its purpose, whereas,
Aruna is a zealous follower of Hinduism. In spite of their ideological differences, both Aruna and
Smita wrap up their prejudices and end the conflict on a reconciliatory note. Smita apologizes to
her mother, “I am sorry. I mean it” (CP 212) to which Aruna also positively reacts, “All right. Do
what you think is best” (CP 212). Dattani seems to be agreeing with Adler‟s view, who opines,
“A battle with children is always a losing battle: they can never be beaten or won over to co-
operation by fighting” (114).
The modern age is the age of intolerance. There is a question mark over the future of a healthy
family. We don‟t realize that with changing times, it is necessary to revise the old beliefs,
traditions and the value systems. Today, relationships have become distant and families are
disintegrating within the country and across the world. The nature of conversations between
4. Dr. C. S. Srinivas

parents and children is deteriorating. Each house seems to be burning with restlessness and
resentment. In such an atmosphere, it is quite natural that fathers and mothers feel strongly
opposed to any sort of rebellion from their sons and daughters. But, Dattani as a playwright and as
an individual vouches for individual freedom, as a necessary aspect of life, continually, through
his plays. He makes a fervent appeal to the parents to dispense with their „You have to agree to
whatever I say‟ attitude, be open-minded and allow their children to enjoy personal freedom and
give them their due space in both professional and personal life. Otherwise, this rigid attitude of
theirs is most likely to threaten the spirit of individualism of their children and create problems.
In the same way, sons and daughters also must realize that their parents are their true well-
wishers and deserve respect and love for their age, experience and position in the family. In other
words, tolerance is the protective armour for any family. It is only with the development of virtues
of tolerance and peaceful co-existence that one can individually and collectively prosper in a
family. Family life should be organized in such a manner that no member feels left out or isolated.
This is why, in almost all of Dattani‟s plays, the locale of family takes centre stage and becomes
an oft-repeated theme.
