Female foeticide is killing a girl child before she is born and it is the gravest crime for me as it denies the girl child the right to live even before she is born. The main reason behind this crime is that people consider a girl child as a liability rather than an asset. In rural areas the problem is that a girl child is equated to the money that would be need to educate and marry her. Even though women today can easily rub shoulders with men, almost in every field they set their mind to, the...

Female infanticides started in 1957 when China’s Chairman Mao Zedong wanted the country’s population to stay under six million for many years (Jimmerson). Leaders then came to a realization that a long term action would have to take place. Therefore they proposed a law stating that...

India has a big social problem Indians believe if a girl will be born into a family it will be a sin so they kill the female while it is still a fetus.

If people follow the Transcendentalism belief of nonconformity then female foeticide won’t be a problem anymore. If people abandon society...

More specifically the roles of the female body have been manipulated and changed to make women feel inferior to men.

 There have always been noticeably obvious differences among male and female roles in relationships. Women have always been treated more or less as objects of their partners and thought to only be there to support and to create pleasure and happiness.

This is a problem because young girls are grown up on fantasy beliefs of a fairy tale ending and thus have created...

Monday for the baby boy, and Friday for the girl. That’s no nursery rhyme but baby talk of the most dangerous kind. Doctors carrying out sex determination tests are using everyday language and symbols to divulge the gender of the baby to wealthy families. The results are shared mostly on emails, and are fuelling a business worth Rs 1,500 crore. This is particularly worrying for a state like Maharashtra which loses 4.5 lakh girls every 10 years, 50,000 every year and 148 every day. This...

Female Foeticide In India, welfare measures like empowerment of women, reservation in Parliament, free education to girl child and a lot of other woman progressive initiative, do not make sense when we look at cases of female foeticide. There are only 933 females for every 1000 males against global figure of 1060 females per 1000 males. Sex ratio is a composite indicator of woman's status in a society. If we analyse state wise sex ratio, it is most disturbing to note that the States...

female foeticide/ infanticide The term female foeticide means killing the female foetus in the mother's womb. How cruel? The practice has been followed in India for ages, a country that once described its women as godessess. For this reason, Indian women will soon get extinct. Surprised? The most active part is being played by the women themselves -- why? Just for the mere want of a boy, mothers don't feel bad in strangulating their daughters in their wombs. Can anyone be more cruel? In...

Ultrasonography, the method of using ultrasound waves to determine flaws in the human body, is now used to find out the gender of the foetus inside the womb. Parents check the gender of the unborn child and abort the pregnancy if it is a girl. This has not only disturbed the sex-ratio of the country but has also created problems in the society. Why is this act of cruelty performed? The answer to this question lies within the society. In the Indian society, the dependence and lack of freedom...

Female criminality attributes the disparities to the “masked behaviour” of female incidental to their roles (Pollak, 1950). Females have committed all types of crimes such as shoplifting, robbery and murder. However it is very rare that you would find a female committing murder as they are weaker than men and thus it is mostly the minor crimes they commit so they can get away with it. There are certain characteristics that were found in women who were in prison. These characteristics are age,...

-‘Girls don't bring dowries, they bring medals’ In the global arena, India is indeed fast developing and is gradually becoming a force to reckon with and this makes us extremely proud.

Women have made tremendous progress in education and the workplace in the last century. They have made many accomplishments in fields that used to be primarily made up of men, such as medicine, law, and business. In science, mathematics, and engineering, however, women’s progress has been much slower. In today’s society where women are increasingly successful in fields such as medicine, law, business, and government, why are so few women becoming engineers? My engineering orientation class is...

 I have chosen to do my final project writing assignment on female offenders. Today, females are the fastest growing offenders of the prison population. Some of the attributing factors to this increase in female prison population is an increase in violent behavior by females, increased substance abuse and an increased awareness by law enforcement toward female offenders. Female offenders may have many differences from male offenders in their risks and needs while in the system however...

What is female feticide? Female feticide is the selective abortion/elimination of the girl child in the womb itself, done deliberately by the mother, after the detection of the child’s gender through medical means. This is usually done under familial pressure from the husband or the in-laws or even the woman’s parents. Unplanned pregnancy is generally the reason behind abortion. However, female feticide is a far more heinous sin than the age old practice of killing an unwanted child, even...

Female feticide is one of the biggest challenges that India is facing today in terms of gender. It has become a significant social phenomenon. It transcends all barriers of caste, class and community and even the north-south dichotomy. The World Economic Forum’s annual Global Gender Gap report for the year 2007 has shown India at a dismal 120th position. The gender gap report looks at the disparities in terms of health, education, economic status and political participation between men and...

Feminism in the Hills In Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants”, Hemingway creates a power dynamic between females and males through the way he uses setting, characterization, and dialogue. Hemingway chooses the setting to symbolize the conflicts and differences between the two individuals. Characterizing the woman, Jig, as being the strong one that is in control while the American man is the character with no power to control the situation reveals this power struggle. The dialogue...

Is Female to Male as Nature is to Culture Universally, the status of a woman in a society is secondary to a man’s status. On the other hand, there are societies today that man is subordinate to woman. The treatments and symbolizations of women are diverse and vary from culture to culture. No cultures are exactly the same. In this critical review of Ortner (1974) “Is Female to Male as Nature Is to Culture” I will attempt to give a summary and critical analysis on the article.

Male Friendships and Female Friendship There are so many ways that friendships between males are different than friendships between females. Even though we are all humans we are made different.

It makes women look like they are nothing but an object of male desires.

With these continued ways of thinking males and females will always be trapped in the same roles unless something pushes them into a different role. The female role as it has been...

The battle of the sexes has been going on since the beginning of mankind. Women were once stereotyped as mere housewives, and the men were labeled as breadwinners. Over time, the title given to the so-called weaker sex has evolved up to par with that of men. Now, they almost stand on equal footing as them. When it comes to leadership though, I believe that females outshine their male counterparts in almost every measure. According to Rochelle Sharpe (2003), it has been approximately...
