Ancient Chinese society held strict patriarchal Confucian ideals that defined women's roles. Women were expected to be submissive to their fathers, husbands, and sons, focusing on domestic duties like cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing. They had little education or independence. However, some documents also note that women played important roles as mothers and wives, and a few texts argue they had virtues and potential beyond the domestic sphere. Competition among imperial consorts and empresses was intense and sometimes deadly as they vied for power and position. Footbinding was a practice that modified women's figures and movement from a young age to conform to ideals of femininity, status, and ethnicity, though it caused great pain.
The documents provide information about traditional Chinese attitudes towards women's roles from ancient times through the 20th century. Document 1 discusses how Confucian texts emphasized women's subordination and obedience. Document 2 notes that while customs restricted women, they still had influence as mothers and wives. Document 3 explains that footbinding was meant to enhance femininity and status, not cripple women. Document 4 outlines how Confucian ideology confined women domestically and they became more educated in later centuries.
This dissertation analyzes the appeal, ideology, and response to the Boy Scout movement from 1899-1920 in Britain. It aims to move beyond previous arguments that the movement aimed to turn boys into future soldiers by instead focusing on how it provided a "vessel for boyhood." The movement successfully captured boys' sense of adventure and used this to instill Robert Baden-Powell's middle-class ideas of masculinity. It did this through its literature, outdoor activities, and ability to appeal to public perceptions of youth culture and national anxieties during the period. The dissertation will examine the social context, literature of the movement, outdoor activities like camps, and public perception to argue the movement created a space for boys to experience adventure while

CHINA BEFORE THE EUROPEANS
China is the world’s most stable civilization. There is no other place on earth where one has to start four thousand years ago to explain what is happening today, where aspects of today’s culture were so recognizable as far before the birth of Christ as we are after it.
Three things necessary to know from the beginning of China’s recorded history: the concept of yin and yang, ancestor veneration, and how Chinese is written. For the Chinese, the power that drives the universe comes from the twin poles of yin and yang. Yin is female, weak, dark, feeling, body, earth, war, death; yang is male, strong, light, thinking, spirit, sky, peace, life. These dualities, these polar opposites, make up the universe, and drive the universe with the energy the flows between them, like the poles of a magnet. They are opposite, yet they do not exist in isolation, nor do they exist without the other. This is beautifully summed up in the taijitu symbol, where the black and white are, first, not a straight line but one that curves greatly, and where the opposite-shaded dots represent the indivisible nature of their union.
The universe only works well if the yin and the yang are in balance, and one of these pairs of opposites are heaven and earth. Earth is what we experience; heaven is that which we do not directly experience in this life, but where we go after this life. Chinese ideas of divinity are very vague—there are gods, but they are not the be-all nor the end-all—but those forces that important are in heaven, and they do not care what happens on earth. Those who do care are our ancestors, as long as we continue to respect them. Thus every year, for as long as we have records, the Chinese have paid respect to their ancestors, gathering at their graves, leaving them food, leaving them money, tidying things up, so that they will look after us and listen to our requests and our prayers.
Chinese writing has also not changed greatly, at least in its general outlines, in four thousand years. Most writing systems began as ideographic systems, which is to say that one symbol equaled one idea. In most places, the earliest writing was keeping track of business transactions or warehouse inventories. For example, three dashes would mean “three,” a square with outwardly rounded sides could stand in for a barrel, and a mug with suds could represent beer, and thus you knew there were three barrels of beer in the warehouse that day. As the utility of writing became apparent, however, and since this system could not easily keep track of the necessary grammatical changes—i.e, the difference between man, man’s, men, and men’s, or walk, walking, walked—these ideographic systems quickly changed to syllabic or alphabetic systems, related to sounds a.

This document discusses the portrayal and treatment of women in Victorian England and the pseudoscience used to justify gender inequality. It notes that women were largely confined to the domestic sphere and had few rights. Pseudoscientific theories by thinkers like Herbert Spencer and Franz Joseph Gall were used to argue women were intellectually and biologically inferior to men. Phrenology and theories of acquired characteristics were cited in literature to demonstrate female traits. Overall, pseudoscience was employed to rationalize the subordinate status of women during this era.

Korean Gender Roles in the Modern Era Two Different Paths t.docxDIPESH30
Korean Gender Roles in the Modern Era: Two Different Paths toward Modernity
This essay is focus on the happenings that took place between the years 1880 to 1940. I will also be speaking about the country of Korea and how feminism was able to seize. I believe that it was not easy for the women to come out as strong and intelligent as they did especially after the colonization as well as the main gender stereotypes that were there in Korea and the traditions that the people they are embraced. Moreover, the neo-Confucian society in Korea also permitted and dictated that the norms that affected the manhood positively were divided into staged of the class lines. The Korean tradition that allowed people to fight for prowess was allowed as a musicality pattern as a pre-modern society for the commoners. In that case, I would want to state that in Korea, the women fought for their rights as much as they could through education and religion as modernization had started to set in (Tikhonov, 1034). (This introductory paragraph contains a lot of useful information, but it is still a bit unclear what is your thesis. Is the main focus of your essay the contrasting paths taken by Korean men and women toward a modern lifestyle? And if so, then is your thesis that Korean men were able to build upon tradition in their quest for modernity, but that Korean women had to reject tradition completely, and instead reach modernity through Western education and religion? )
First, the women in Korea were inspired by the Christian ways that came along during the late 1800s. For instance, several publications that were made by missionaries usually gave examples of the novel ways that the women who were identified as “oriental” had begun to live after they were transformed by Christians to begin living with regards to Christianity. Moreover, most of them were lucky to acquire sponsorships that allowed them to go and study abroad (Choi, 145). After their studies, they would travel back to Korea, and there they would become the leaders since the sense of hem being educated drew a lot of attention towards them. In addition to this, the women were also transformed into Christians who was crucial for the proliferation of the communities that believe in Christianity it was believed during those times that no nation could become a Christian without a Christian mother; therefore, nurturing the women to become leaders was imperative (Tikhonov, 1035). (Also, the fact that European countries were Christian was also impressed Koreans, in that in seemed to suggest that Christianity was a key part of being a modern nation. )
The Korean mission was able to produce multiple Christian women leaders who were also well educated as well as under good guidance (Choi, 148). These women left important footprints through their mission work mission schools as well as various large and small scale Institutions that belonged to Christians. They aimed to spread both the good news as well as impa ...

The document discusses the traditions of Semana Santa in Spain and Seville. It explains that Semana Santa, or Holy Week, takes place the week before Easter and involves processions of brotherhoods from their home churches to the Cathedral. The brotherhoods are made up of Nazarenos who dress in blue robes and carry candles. They follow ornate floats called pasos depicting scenes of Christ and the Virgin Mary. Spectators watch in silence as the pasos pass and then clap. The document provides details on traditional costumes and behaviors during the holy week celebrations.
Reflexive verbs are verbs where the subject and object are the same. They often indicate that the subject is performing an action upon itself, such as "I cut myself" or "She made herself a sandwich." Reflexive verbs are formed by adding a reflexive pronoun like "myself" or "herself" to the end of a verb.
This document discusses the use of pronouns in Spanish commands. It provides examples of commands with and without pronouns for various actions like making a bed, cleaning a room, taking out garbage, mixing ingredients, tasting soup, and serving food. The examples show how adding a pronoun after the verb makes the command shorter. It also lists sources for the names and actions used in the examples.
The student has learned a lot of Spanish vocabulary covering various topics like school, hobbies, medical terms, and parts of the house. They enjoyed learning vocabulary through partner activities which made the material more fun and helped with understanding. While vocabulary comes easily, the student struggles with pronunciation, spelling, and grammar in Spanish. To improve, they need to practice pronunciation by listening online and asking friends, study spelling by doing more activities, and focus on grammar which is very different from English.

Tú commands provide instructions for using affirmative and negative commands in Spanish. For affirmative commands, use the tú verb form without the final "s". For negative commands, put the verb in the tú form and change the ending to "es" for -ar verbs and "as" for -ir and -er verbs. Some irregular verbs like car and g verbs undergo spelling changes, such as "tocar" becoming "toques" in the negative command.

Korean Gender Roles in the Modern Era Two Different Paths t.docxDIPESH30
Korean Gender Roles in the Modern Era: Two Different Paths toward Modernity
This essay is focus on the happenings that took place between the years 1880 to 1940. I will also be speaking about the country of Korea and how feminism was able to seize. I believe that it was not easy for the women to come out as strong and intelligent as they did especially after the colonization as well as the main gender stereotypes that were there in Korea and the traditions that the people they are embraced. Moreover, the neo-Confucian society in Korea also permitted and dictated that the norms that affected the manhood positively were divided into staged of the class lines. The Korean tradition that allowed people to fight for prowess was allowed as a musicality pattern as a pre-modern society for the commoners. In that case, I would want to state that in Korea, the women fought for their rights as much as they could through education and religion as modernization had started to set in (Tikhonov, 1034). (This introductory paragraph contains a lot of useful information, but it is still a bit unclear what is your thesis. Is the main focus of your essay the contrasting paths taken by Korean men and women toward a modern lifestyle? And if so, then is your thesis that Korean men were able to build upon tradition in their quest for modernity, but that Korean women had to reject tradition completely, and instead reach modernity through Western education and religion? )
First, the women in Korea were inspired by the Christian ways that came along during the late 1800s. For instance, several publications that were made by missionaries usually gave examples of the novel ways that the women who were identified as “oriental” had begun to live after they were transformed by Christians to begin living with regards to Christianity. Moreover, most of them were lucky to acquire sponsorships that allowed them to go and study abroad (Choi, 145). After their studies, they would travel back to Korea, and there they would become the leaders since the sense of hem being educated drew a lot of attention towards them. In addition to this, the women were also transformed into Christians who was crucial for the proliferation of the communities that believe in Christianity it was believed during those times that no nation could become a Christian without a Christian mother; therefore, nurturing the women to become leaders was imperative (Tikhonov, 1035). (Also, the fact that European countries were Christian was also impressed Koreans, in that in seemed to suggest that Christianity was a key part of being a modern nation. )
The Korean mission was able to produce multiple Christian women leaders who were also well educated as well as under good guidance (Choi, 148). These women left important footprints through their mission work mission schools as well as various large and small scale Institutions that belonged to Christians. They aimed to spread both the good news as well as impa ...

Grabeila pasó su fin de semana visitando a su abuela, jugando con su perro y videojuegos, yendo al cine con amigos y luego a la casa de un amigo, donde miraron televisión y tomaron fotos con una cámara digital para un proyecto, antes de dormirse a las 11 de la noche.
The document discusses the traditions of Semana Santa in Spain and Seville. It explains that Semana Santa, or Holy Week, takes place the week before Easter and involves processions of brotherhoods from their home churches to the Cathedral. The brotherhoods are made up of Nazarenos who dress in blue robes and carry candles. They follow ornate floats called pasos depicting scenes of Christ and the Virgin Mary. Spectators watch in silence as the pasos pass and then clap. The document provides details on traditional costumes and behaviors during the holy week celebrations.
Reflexive verbs are verbs where the subject and object are the same. They often indicate that the subject is performing an action upon itself, such as "I cut myself" or "She made herself a sandwich." Reflexive verbs are formed by adding a reflexive pronoun like "myself" or "herself" to the end of a verb.
This document discusses the use of pronouns in Spanish commands. It provides examples of commands with and without pronouns for various actions like making a bed, cleaning a room, taking out garbage, mixing ingredients, tasting soup, and serving food. The examples show how adding a pronoun after the verb makes the command shorter. It also lists sources for the names and actions used in the examples.
The student has learned a lot of Spanish vocabulary covering various topics like school, hobbies, medical terms, and parts of the house. They enjoyed learning vocabulary through partner activities which made the material more fun and helped with understanding. While vocabulary comes easily, the student struggles with pronunciation, spelling, and grammar in Spanish. To improve, they need to practice pronunciation by listening online and asking friends, study spelling by doing more activities, and focus on grammar which is very different from English.
La bandera mexicana presenta un águila comiendo una serpiente encima de un nopal, que simboliza una leyenda azteca en la que se les indicó a los aztecas construir su ciudad donde vieran ese símbolo. El documento pide escribir una composición comparando el águila mexicana con el águila estadounidense y discutiendo las cualidades que cada una representa.
La casa es grande y amarilla de dos pisos con tres cuartos. El primer piso tiene seis cuartos incluyendo la cocina, sala, baño, comedor, armario y sala de estar. El segundo piso tiene siete cuartos incluyendo cuatro dormitorios, una lavandería y dos baños. La casa también tiene un garaje con espacio para dos coches.
Tú commands provide instructions for using affirmative and negative commands in Spanish. For affirmative commands, use the tú verb form without the final "s". For negative commands, put the verb in the tú form and change the ending to "es" for -ar verbs and "as" for -ir and -er verbs. Some irregular verbs like car and g verbs undergo spelling changes, such as "tocar" becoming "toques" in the negative command.

My scores for the third section of vocabulary test 3 included scores for two assessments. The document refers to scores achieved on both a scatter assessment and a test for the third part of a vocabulary exam.
The document discusses test scores but provides no actual scores or details about the tests. It states that test scores are mentioned below but none are listed. The document contains very little substantive information that could be summarized in 3 sentences or less.
This short document discusses test scores and mentions going until a score of 100 was achieved. It refers to "my scores for the scatter" and "my test scores" but does not provide any actual scores or details on the subject of the test.
This 3 sentence summary provides the essential information from the document:
This document contains a screenshot for playing scatter and mentions taking a quiz with only one test, so there is only one screenshot. The screenshot is related to playing a game called scatter and taking an online quiz or test where the user only had one attempt.

During the Han dynasty, moralists sought to enhance the authority of patriarchal family heads by emphasizing
the importance of filial piety and women’s subordination to their menfolk. The anonymous Confucian Classic
of Filial Piety, Composed probably in the early Han dynasty, taught that children should obey and honor their
parents as well as other superiors and political authorities. Similarly, Ban Zhao, a well-educated women from
a prominent Han family, wrote a widely read treatise entitled Admonitions for Women that emphasized
humility, obedience, subservience, and devotion to their husbands as the virtues most appropriate for women.
To confucian moralists and government authorities alike, orderly, patriarchal families were the foundations of
a stable society.

It is easy enough to catalogue a Chinese woman's clothes, to describe her appearance and the customs to which
she must conform, to explain her legal and social status and the duties she must fulfil. But, when we have done
all this, we have merely the shell; of the living, breathing woman we hardly catch a glimpse. Writers who
adopt this photographic method leave us with the impression that the Chinese woman is so hemmed in with
restrictions that she scarcely has a personality, that she is so brought up by rule that she can hardly have a soul
to call her own. Human nature, however, is the same all the world over, and there are reasons for believing
that, although etiquette not only enforces the seclusion of the Chinese woman but forbids even the mention of
a Chinese wife in society, yet women occupy, whether as mothers or wives, a position of great importance and
considerable influence in the Middle Kingdom. In any case, a Chinese woman would hardly agree with the
foreigner in his estimate of the indignity and helplessness of her position.

Ko, Dorothy. "Footbinding." Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion. Ed. Valerie Steele. Vol. 2. Detroit:
Charles Scribner's Sons, 2005. 106-109. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Web. 9 Dec. 2010.
Footbinding was specific to and unique to traditional Chinese culture. Its various names conveyed its
multifaceted image in Chinese eyes: chanzu (binding feet) called attention to the mundane action of
swaddling the body with a piece of cloth; gongwan (curved arch) described a desired shape of the foot
similar to that of a ballerina in pointe shoe; jinlian (golden lotus, also gilded lilies) evoked a utopian
image of the body that was the subject of fantastical transformation. A related poetic expression of lianbu
(lotus steps) suggested that foot-binding was intended to enhance the grace of the body in motion, not to
cripple the woman.
The much-maligned practice has often been compared to corsetry as evidence that women were
oppressed in cultures East and West, modern and traditional. The comparison is apt albeit for different
reasons. The goal of both practices was to modify the female figure with strips of carefully designed and
precisely positioned fabric, and in so doing alter the way the wearer projected herself into the world.
During its millennium-long history, footbinding acquired various cultural meanings: as a sign of status,
civility, Han Chinese ethnicity, and femininity. But at its core it was a means of body modification, hence
its history should be sought from the foundational garments of binding cloth, socks, and soft-heeled
slippers.

In the nineteenth century, the vast majority of Chinese women received no schooling and were
economically dependent on men. Their lives were circumscribed by patriarchal Confucian ideology,
according to which the ideal woman was confined within the private sphere, where she served, and was
subservient to, first her father and then her husband and his family. In the late nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, however, Confucian values and institutions eroded, radical new discourses on women emerged,
and major improvements in women’s status were achieved.

Ex5: Women in Ancient China were looked down upon. The general idea was for them to be submissive to their
father, husband, and then to their son. They were there to do chores, such as cooking, cleaning, and tending to the
children according to Liu Hsang and Fu Xang. But according to Ban Zhao and also the Buddhist song found in the
caves at Dunhuang women have virtue and potential to become developed. The women should be admired for their
completed tasks, not just ignored.

Suspect as the advice of diviners may have been, ultimately more destructive to the dynasty was the poisoning of
the atmosphere at court by the spread of factions, all plotting for power. The eldest son of the empress could
generally expect to be appointed heir apparent-that is , the person who would ascend to the throne when the current
emperor died. However the empress’s position (and that of her offspring) was far from secure. She could suddenly
be dismissed by order of the emperor or even handed poison and commanded to commit suicide. Succession, and
therefore the continuity of the dynasty, often depended on the ever-shifting relationships of the emperor and his
many wives and concubines.
Among these women, the competition to be appointed empress, or imperial consort, could be fierce and even
deadly.

When a little girl was six or eight years old the binding began. Her prettly little foot was bandaged with
strips of white cloth in such a way that the four small toes of each foot were bent in under the sole and the whole
foot was narrowed. She had to walk, of course, on the joints of these bent toes, and you can imagine how much it
hurt. Then the foot was also shortened by wrapping it in tight bandages that drew the ball of the foot nearly back
to the heel, bending the arch of the foot up like a bent bow.

Chinese society vested authority principally in elderly males who headed their households. Like its counter in other
regions, Chinese society took on a strongly patriarchal character- one that intensified with the emergence of large
states. During neolithic times Chinese men wielded public authority, but they won their rights to it by virtue of the
female line of their descent Even if it did not vest power and authority in women, this system provided solid reason
for a family to honor its female members. As late as Shang times, two queens posthumously received the high
honor of having temples dedicated to their memories.
Women occasionaly played prominent roles in public life during Shang times. Fu Hao, for example, the consort of
King Wu Ding whose tomb has thrown important the later Shang and Zhou dynasties, however, women lived
increasingly in the shadow of men. Large states brought the military and political contributions of men into sharp
focus. The ruling classes performed elaborate ceremonies publicly honoring the spirits of departed ancestors,
particularly males who had guided their families and led especially notable lives. Gradually, the emphasis on men
became so intense that Chinese society lost its matrilineal character. After the Shang dynasty not even queens and
empresses merited temples dedicated exclusively to their memories: at most they had the honor of being
remembered in association with their illustrious husbands.
