this ppt is about the presence of women in politics all over the globe, mostly the ways of women entering in politics, its effect and the empowerment of women in politics
The document discusses changes in rural society and women's empowerment. It defines social change as changes in social relationships and interactions. There are various types of social change including alternative, redemptive, reformative, and revolutionary. Main factors driving social change include demographic, biological, cultural, technological, and environmental factors. The document also discusses the need for women's empowerment in rural societies and defines empowerment. Indicators of women's empowerment include participation in decision making, control over finances and reproduction, and increased self-confidence and leadership roles.
The document discusses the lack of women in elected leadership positions globally and in the United States. Only 18 countries have female heads of state, and the global average of women in parliament is only 19%. Rwanda has had success increasing women's representation through quotas. The UN advocates for more countries to use quotas. While women have been able to vote in the US since 1920, there has never been a female president. Only 16% of US congressional seats are held by women, ranking the US 78th globally for women's representation in government.
Women in politics. Let's make HERstory!Shiftbalance
For the past 100 years, women's political participation has been growing.
Yet the stats are still very limited.
What are the barriers to women's political engagement?
How can we better balance the voice of power?
Which initiatives exist around the world?
This document discusses gender and politics, including women in political philosophy works by John Stuart Mill, Fredrich Engels, and Shulamith Firestone. It also examines research on political participation and public opinion, specifically on the experiences of women in local government in India, the gender gap in voting behavior globally, gender differences in political knowledge related to descriptive representation of women, and women's representation in legislatures and cabinets in industrial democracies.
The document discusses gender discrimination in rural Pakistan. It notes that discriminatory attitudes towards women are present from birth and continue through practices like forced marriage, honor killings, female infanticide, and domestic violence. Women have limited education and employment opportunities. The government needs to invest in female education, create more jobs for women to gain economic independence, conduct public awareness campaigns, and properly enforce laws against violence and discrimination. Eliminating gender discrimination could allow women to contribute more to Pakistan's development.
Women empowerment means granting women freedom from discrimination and the ability to make their own life choices. It involves ensuring women have equal social, political, economic, and legal rights. Empowering women is important for family and national development. However, women in India still face issues like lack of access to education, employment, decision making power, and freedom of movement, as well as domestic violence. Recent years have seen a rise in crimes against women. Empowering women requires addressing issues like lack of education, financial constraints, and social norms through initiatives like self-help groups, government schemes, and ensuring women's participation in decision making.

Socio-culture formation of Pakistan society with reference to women Placement FARAH FAREEHA
1. Pakistani culture is influenced by surrounding regions and is home to diverse ethnic groups. Women's rights are outlined in the constitution but can be restricted.
2. Traditionally, women's roles centered around the home while men worked, but women now participate in many spheres of life. Education levels for women have risen in recent decades.
3. Women have inheritance rights but typically lack control over resources. Violence against women remains a serious issue despite some legal protections and initiatives to support women.
Achieving gender equality in india summaryadinochina
The document discusses gender equality in India and steps that can be taken to promote it. It notes that while natural predictions may suggest equality has been achieved, statistics disprove this, showing ongoing issues like declines in female labor participation. Reasons for preferences of male children over female in Indian society include patriarchal attitudes, dowry system, and beliefs that sons will care for parents. Affirmative action policies like reserving political positions for women and establishing equal land inheritance can empower women economically and socially. Education is also key, as seen in a new Telangana textbook that avoids gender stereotypes. Overall attitudinal changes are still needed as hindrances like treating female children as losses persist. Equality is necessary for comprehensive development
Socio-culture formation of Pakistan society with reference to women Placement FARAH FAREEHA
The document discusses the culture and status of women in Pakistan. It covers several topics:
1) Pakistan has a diverse array of ethnic groups that have been influenced by surrounding cultures. Women have certain fundamental rights protected by the constitution but these can be restricted.
2) Women play various roles in society from homemakers to professionals. While progress has been made, women generally have lower status and face challenges such as lack of access to resources and gender-based violence.
3) The document discusses women's rights related to marriage, inheritance, education, and dress codes. It also covers economic participation and development issues facing women in Pakistan.
This document discusses the importance of gender equity for sustainable development. It notes that a lack of gender equality has led to issues like underdevelopment and an inability to identify women's talents. Recent surveys show that Canada, Germany, and the UK currently have the most gender equality among G-20 countries. The objectives are to promote equal opportunities and decision making between men and women, as well as facilitate improved equality in operations and analytical work for women. It outlines policies at the national and international level to address gender equity and provides factors that must be practiced, such as changing attitudes towards women, increasing access to education and economic opportunities, and encouraging women's participation and decision making.
This document summarizes a partnership between an Ethiopian NGO (ACA) and a German NGO (Ethiocare) to implement an educational program in Ethiopia. There were significant issues with communication between the partners that led to a breakdown in the partnership. Staff reported a lack of information sharing and tensions between the organizations. Students felt ashamed by some of the language used to describe their backgrounds and circumstances. Poor communication was a major factor in the challenges faced by the program.
This document discusses women in politics. It provides an overview of the benefits of women's political participation, as well as the obstacles they face. Some key points made include that women's participation brings benefits like higher standards of living and more collaborative leadership. However, women still face structural, social, and economic barriers to participation. International agreements like CEDAW and national policies aim to promote gender equality and women's empowerment in political systems. Working together through mechanisms like caucuses, women have helped increase participation and advocate for policies supporting other women.
Problems in human diversity: Evolution of gender equalityClaudia3697
This document traces the evolution of gender equality from the 16th century to present day. It describes how women historically had limited roles focused on the household and family, while men dominated the economic and political spheres. Over time, as women advocated for their rights and societal norms changed, women gained increasing opportunities in the workplace and public life. However, gender inequality still persists today, particularly in wages and representation. The document analyzes this evolution through the lens of theories like feminism, conflict theory, and structural functionalism.
Citizenship has evolved over time from ancient concepts to modern democratic societies. In ancient Greece, citizenship was granted by birth and affirmed by the mother and assembly. It defined one's ability to participate in government. Romans further developed citizenship to distinguish original citizens from conquered peoples, granting rights to those born to Roman fathers. Modern democratic citizenship is based on popular sovereignty and consent of the governed. It entails both rights and responsibilities of citizens to participate in and support their political system through actions like voting, military service, obeying laws, and constructive civic participation and criticism. Education seeks to develop participatory skills and civic virtues in students to strengthen responsible democratic citizenship.
Gender inequality in India is among the worst in the world according to UN reports. It manifests through unequal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities for women that translate to poor health, education, and economic outcomes compared to men. When adjusted for gender inequality, India's Human Development Index ranking falls below countries like Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh that are poorer overall. Common faces of gender injustice in India include dowry practices that extort women and families, as well as educational inequalities like fewer female teachers and gender biases that depict women as weak in curriculums.
The document discusses the status of women in Bangladesh based on factors like education, employment, and mobility. Some key points:
- Women's education levels are significantly lower than men's, especially at secondary levels and above. Factors like poverty, cultural norms, and early marriage limit girls' access to education.
- While women make substantial economic contributions, especially in agriculture and garment industry, their participation in the formal labor force remains low. They are often concentrated in low-paid, low-status jobs.
- Women's mobility outside the home is restricted according to cultural norms. Survey data found under half of women report being able to go outside or to a health center alone. Logistic regression found women's
This document discusses various forms of discrimination against women globally. It outlines discrimination in social roles, labor access and pay, sexuality, aesthetics, education, and personal liberty. Specific examples of discrimination are provided for Spain, Africa, and Asia. In Spain, domestic violence against women is an issue. In Africa, women have little say after marriage and face harsher punishments and lack of school access. In Asia, sex-selective abortion, beauty standards, and control over reproduction perpetuate discrimination.
Achieving Gender Equality in India English Lesson and Summary.adinochina
This document discusses gender inequality in India and strategies to promote gender equality. It notes that while India's economic growth has been rapid, progress on gender equality measured by indexes has been disappointing. Female labor force participation has declined from 34% to 27% in the past decade. Cultural practices like son preference and the dowry system perpetuate gender discrimination and inferior status of women. However, some policies show promise, like reserving one-third of local leadership positions for women or establishing equal land inheritance rights. Providing job training and opportunities to rural women can increase their economic independence and autonomy. Overall, concerted efforts at all levels along with shifts in attitudes are needed to achieve true gender parity.
The document discusses extending opportunities for the poor in areas such as employment, education, and life skills. It recommends assessing the needs of those in poverty and providing respect, support, pre-employment training, career counseling, basic education, economic literacy training, and more. Extending opportunities can improve lives, break cycles of poverty, and increase diversity and equity in society. Governments, funders, organizations, businesses, and communities all have roles to play in creating such opportunities.

This document summarizes a research paper on consanguineous (cousin) marriages in Pakistan. It finds that approximately two-thirds of marriages in Pakistan are consanguineous, which is common for a variety of socio-cultural reasons. Interviews with families in one Pakistani village found that preserving family traditions, strengthening family ties, easing marriage arrangements, and maintaining control over family property are all factors that contribute to the prevalence of consanguineous marriages in Pakistani culture. The tradition of consanguineous marriages persists despite potential genetic risks and is an example of how culture and tradition can influence marriage customs.
This document contains counseling notes on several young Arab clients discussing issues they are facing. Key themes that emerge include a desire for more freedom and independence, especially for women; frustration with rigid social and religious norms; a sense of alienation from society and culture; and a longing to explore their identity and ambitions outside of family or cultural expectations. Several clients express a wish to leave their country due to feeling they have no place or future within the current social system.
This document discusses research being conducted on users of a community IT center located in a socially deprived area of a city in southern England. The research is collecting life stories of users through biographic-narrative interviews to understand patterns of engagement and IT practices. It aims to fill gaps in understanding the relationship between personal development, skills acquisition, and community development through lifelong learning opportunities. The researcher is exploring issues of identity and social belonging among users through interviews and focus groups using an appreciative inquiry approach.

The document examines the claim that there are "three generations of families where no-one has ever worked" due to the transmission of "cultures of worklessness" between generations. Through extensive fieldwork in deprived neighborhoods, the researchers were unable to find any families fitting this description. While some families had multiple generations with periods of long-term unemployment, there was no evidence that negative attitudes toward work were being passed down. Unemployment was better explained by broader social and economic factors rather than "cultures of worklessness."
Rural isolation is a significant issue for LGBT individuals. The Irish government has recognized this problem and launched a program to address it. Social isolation can have serious negative health impacts, including depression, addiction, anxiety, and overall poor health. Conditions of rural isolation for LGBT people include adverse social and political attitudes, a lack of advocacy and support systems, exposure to prejudice without effective challenges, and invisibility within local decision-making. Suggested priorities to address rural LGBT isolation include scrutinizing local government bodies to ensure they are acknowledging and addressing LGBT issues, and checking how rural agencies are supporting inclusiveness and addressing LGBT equality in their policies and practices.

Paper #4 Measurement Paper
Social Media effects
Social Media is human communication of sharing information about yourself on the internet. It is
the biggest element in our lives at this moment. We can get any kind of information we want to
now about the other person. In the past decades friendships, dating, childhoods have been
evolving in very unexpected ways as a result of technological advances. In which ways does
social media/technology affect mental health of its user?
The theoretical framework that I will be using is Symbolic-Interaction Approach. I chose it,
because it analyzes society by stating their personal opinions and wha they believe, even though
it might not be true or correct. That is exactly what I need during this research, because we will
be discussing a very important topic - mental health. I chose quantitive analysis due to me
wanting to know the answers of people in different states in America, different genders, different
racial backgrounds, ages 15-25.
I will be using proportional quota sampling, because if I would chose something more random, I
wouldn't have control over the study, and because I can get 10 same people with same opinions,
and I would like to avoid that by choosing different states, genders, backgrounds… The strength
of this design is, the control the researcher has over it. If it wants to research black males from
18-25 years old, he can. Other types of sampling have their strengths in different ways.
My study population will be from 4 different states: California, Illinois, Florida, New York. 40
people from each state which are: Latinos, Whites, Blacks, Asians. 5 people of each gender of
each state will participate, ages 15-25. The two studies that would describe my study population
would be the study “Social media addiction and how it affects our lives” (Tunc-Aksan and
Akbay 2019). These are college students, ages (18-23). The two finding of the study are: first
cause of addiction to social media is the addiction to smartphones; the second result showed us,
the “fear of missing out”.
I will be collecting my own data because, I am very passionate about this topic, and want to
create and analyze answers myself. I will submit IRB application to collect data on human
subjects. The reason why I would make my own question is answered below, this subject
interests me a lot, and with my questions I want the participants to realize the amount of time
they spend on social media and change their lives for the better.
My ten questions will be:
1. When did you get your first smartphone?
2. When did you create your first social media account? What was it?
3. How many hours do you spend on social media in a day?

Essay on Neglect of the Elderly
This document summarizes a presentation on ageism and libraries. It discusses several key points:
1) Ageism can affect people of any age but often targets older individuals, manifesting as stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination.
2) During the coronavirus pandemic, some expressed ageist attitudes suggesting older people are expendable or a burden.
3) Ageism in the workplace can involve biases in hiring, promotion, and assumptions about competency and ambitions based on age rather than individual skills or desires.
4) Libraries often frame programs for older adults around decline, disability, and stereotypical interests rather than recognizing older individuals' diversity. Events could involve intergenerational learning and skills-sharing.

This document summarizes a study on using Skype to combat loneliness and depression among elderly people receiving home care in Hungary. The study found that teaching 15 elderly adults basic computer and Skype skills led to significant improvements in their mental health and social engagement after 4 months. Key benefits included staying connected to family/friends, developing new social connections, and gaining a new meaningful activity. The study suggests Skype could be an effective tool for public policies aimed at improving eldercare.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

4. Research problem
Theory
Learning has always the entity of activeness.
According to socio-cultural approach learning occurs only in interaction.
(Dewey, Piaget, Vygotsky, Leontev, Bahktin; Cole; Lave; Wenger; Rogoff)
All kinds of social involvement enhance cognitive functions (Engelhardt et al., 2010).
Reality
There is only few older men active in interaction in communities. There
is the need to find different ways to attract them and engage them.
Survey OMAL
Direct questions about wishes, motivation and organisational expectations of
men regarding readiness to be involved social interaction.
Phenomenological approach to data: Older men were not explicitly asked
about their obstacles to be active in the community. Nevertheless, they
felt it necessary to talk about their barriers.
5. Semistructured interviews (1–1,5 h)
31 respondents
Respondents by age
in their 50-s 2 men (disabled)
in their 60-s 15 men
in their 70-s 11 men
in their 80-s 3 men
The main activity status:
retirement age, non-working 23 men
retirement age, working 6 men
disabled, non-working 2 men
Education level
7 with higher education
4 with vocational education
20 with secondary or basic education
Different villages and towns as
geographic location
Inductive content analysis method
6. Results
Major groups of internal reasons that prevent older men
from participating in social interaction:
1. no people around
2. self-imposed psychological limits related to age and
maturity
3. general disillusionment
4. domestic comfort zone that reinforces disengagement
7. 1. no people around
Engagement in learning endeavours presuppose a good
company. The reality is different:
> Friends are dead (8)
> Do not like the rest of acquaintances (5)
> People have changed (8)
> There are unfamiliar (new) people in the village (15);
> People are simply reluctant to join in activities (3).
“Only recently the municipality organised a tour of Piusa for pensioners. First, I
asked around the village, who would like to come. But they did not bother. And I
will not go alone if I have nobody to talk to. I didn’t go. But I will go in the winter [to
a seniors’ party], if for no other reason than to talk with S.”
8.
9. 2. psychological limits related to age
and maturity
> People compare their current condition with their
previous selves (31)
> People compare themselves with younger people (5)
“Learning is such a thing that – well, you can read but you will not remember any
of that.“
“On many occasions I feel that have run out of time to start something big, to
waste capital.“
> Ability to predict the outcome (13) which make
things boring
> Difficult to find new things to get excited about (14).
“I am not that stupid to start learning something now. I have intermediate skills.
These are sufficient activities to fill the hours.”
“I will not start doing things like Kihnu Virve [a woman who made a parachute
jump at 80 years of age]. I would have the courage, but what’s the point?”
10. Sense of superiority acts as a barrier
between a person and changing society
Out of interviewed 31 men
7 were using or had used a computer
4 were against computers as a matter of principle.
20 were vague and hesitant in their opinions believing,
on the one hand, that they do not need a computer
while musing, on the other, that they should probably
learn to use a computer.
“I cannot use a computer, I get a headache. I do not want to learn. (Pause.)
Actually, it would be good to learn to use a computer. Payments and stuff. But
where would you go. Things [with learning] have not been finished. My brother
knows how. A good teacher would be good; one who would not get upset with a
dullard.”
11.
12. 3. A general sense of disappointment
> Distrust of strange phenomena and frustration about
the state, the culture and the modern way of life (18)
“Our country is built like this. Have you ever heard someone talking about the
republic’s best plumber or the best toilet cleaner? They talk about artists! You can
live without art but what would you do if your toilet is clogged?”
“They fill sausages with bone paste, for God’s sake! You try to grill them and they
start to foam!”
> Criticism about the nation (6)
> Criticism about the status of a pensioner (16)
“In Sweden, you could see on the streets that people are stress-free. If a person is
stress-free he will immediately recognise stress. I was asked, ‘What is wrong?’
Everybody stared at me like I was an elephant. As far as I know, I do try to smile.
But I still have wrinkles in my face. “
13. Evidence from the Belgian Ageing Studies (De Donder, 2011) demonstrates that
neighbourhoods with poor physical environments and limited access to services
increase feelings of insecurity.
Dead circle: The disappointment is a result of social
passivity. But only social inclusion could break the general
disappointment
14. 4. Domestic comfort zone as a barrier
Increasing number of personal items including equipments
for different activities makes people more individualistic.
Children living farther away as a force majeure. Older rural
men can never be sure when the long-expected guests
arrive, it seems wiser not to make any appointments at all
“The friends are no longer expecting us. You always have to call in advance. In the
past, you could even go at midnight but now – they take the flowers and then tell
you that they have to go to the city, because their daughter is visiting and wants to
go with them [to the city]”
“You cannot plan everything in advance – if the grandchildren need something, I
will go with them.”
15. When the men talked about social obstacles, the
discussion was limited to describing the problem.
No solutions or compensating mechanisms were
suggested.
16. Recommendations: Events with the deliberate aim of
introducing people to each other
Awareness that managing one’s social health is as
important as working on physical health.
“What do you call yourself an adventure?“
Encourage and instruct them to share their skills
