Man and woman are like two wings of bird, which only in unison can take a lofty flight. Unfortunately for our society, one of these wings is wounded and weak. Women, who is the mother, carrier and procreator of all human stands defeated, humiliated and over-powered by her own creation-the man proving true the philosophical formulation of the giant of the social scientists- Karl Marx that every matter contains the seed of its own destruction. If the society goes on denying the rights to its procreator woman, it wouldn’t take too long to destroy the race ‘woman’ from face of the Earth. Although, gender injustices is a global phenomenon, unfortunately eastern countries especially India has surpassed many others in this regard. Though, very interestingly, …show more content…
It has been given currency by U.N. agencies during recent years. ‘Empower’ means to make one powerful or equip one with the power to face the challenge of life to overcome the disabilities, handicaps and inequalities. It is an active multi- dimensional process which would enable women to realise their full identity and powers in all spheres of life. It would consist in providing greater access to knowledge and resources, greater autonomy in decision-making, greater ability to plan their lives, greater control over the circumstances that influence their lives and freedom from the shackles imposed on them by custom, belief and practice.
Empowerment does not mean setting women against men. Indeed, it means making both men and women realise their changing roles and status and develop a consensus for harmonious living in the context of an egalitarian society. It means redistribution of work roles, re-orienting their values to the changing world and attitudes and evolving new kinds of adjustments, understanding and trust with each other. It is a new ideology for carrying democratic values into the family and society. It demands a basic change in the social system. The philosophy of women’s empowerment needs a total rehauling of the Indian

One vital dimension of this is women’s economic independence. Economically self reliant woman act as a self- generating dynamo fostering the goals of family planning and self- development. For this skill development programmes, entrepreneurial development programmes and micro- finance schemes need to be implemented sincerely, up till the remotest corners of the country. Granting land rights to women, in policy as well as practice, would be another crucial step. All these have the ability to totally transform the values, psyche and economy of our entire society. It could take to great heights the benefits already being reaped by causing women’s participation in Panchayati Raj
By "neat," I mean "mechanical and unnecessarily complex. " I'll give you an example. Right now I'm typing these words on an extremely powerful computer. It's the latest in a line of maybe ten computers I have owned, each one more powerful than the last. My computer is chock-full of RAM and ROM and bytes and megahertzes and various other items that enable a computer to kick data-processing butt.
‘Oh, just my mother and father and uncle sitting around, talking. It’s like being a pedestrian, only rarer. My uncle was arrested another time-did I tell you?-for being a pedestrian. Oh, we’re most peculiar.’ ‘But what do you talk about?’”

For example, Gandhi was instrumental in his work to help women. Even before independence, Gandhi worked for equality of women, stating that women belong working and doing what they prefer, rather than being stuck in the kitchen, and that women are equal to men in every way (Document 11). Gandhi’s beliefs carried on to help India in more recent times as well. For example, Usha Thakkar from the Institute of Research on Gandhian Thought Towards Empowerment reports that the 73rd Amendment to the Indian Constitution allowed women to participate in Panchayats, which were village and district councils (Document 12). Through Gandhi’s advocacy, women were able to participate in government roles.
Women’s place and role in the society is something that has been discussed and changed over time. Should their rights be the same as men’s? Should they be superior? Inferior? The world faces a dilemma on weather they should be or not equal as men.
Yet, this summer, as I slaved through my precalculus class at Cabrillo, watching my precious three months tick away, something incredible happened. I got it. Math is incredible because it all relates to itself, like a snake eating its own tail. Take Euler’s identity. It takes a number you’ve been working with forever, and links it to something you would never expect (a complex imaginary function), in a single, concise identity.
Although empowerment theory is intended to alleviate the oppression of marginalized groups, there are no specific guidelines or procedures for doing so (Gutierrez et al., 1995). As a result, this theory may prove to be too abstract for some practitioners, as there are no specific processes for implementing empowerment in an individual, group, or community and it is a more open-ended

I still remember how I spend the whole day looking for what make the pedestal fan to swing and I opened up its cover to see the motor and gear rotating and for me it 's fascinating. He used to bring me along with him in his nearest four wheel drive park where he taught me many things about four wheel vehicles.
Empowered men and women are in a better position for contributing towards productivity of the entire family, they also support in improving prospects specifically for the future generation.

According to the famous sociologists Sylvia Walby, patriarchy is “a system of social structure and practices in which men dominate, oppress and exploit women”. Women’s exploitation is an age old cultural phenomenon of Indian society. The system of patriarchy finds its validity and sanction in our religious beliefs, whether it is Hindu, Muslim or any other religion. For instance, as per ancient Hindu law giver Manu, “Women are supposed to be in the custody of their father when they are children, they must be under the custody of their husband when married and under the custody of her son in old age or as widows.
