Racism And Gender Discrimination

1360 Words6 Pages

The passing of the “International law relating to Racism and Gender Discrimination” were established to prevent the discrimination of women and the ethnic race, “Racism and Sexism.” The cultural and religious biases have become less evident, but nonetheless still present and are likewise expressed in a different manner. “Racism” nowadays is more or less associated with “Judgmentalism.” Judgmental behavior is a sinful defamation of character or a condemning attitude towards another person. People, in the world, ordinarily are quick to judge each other without reason. Many highly think of themselves and therefore they judge others unfairly, who they regard to be less intelligent or unskilled for not being able to measure up according to their …show more content…

“Extreme sexism,” on the other hand, may foster sexual harassment, rape and other forms of sexual violence. In the same manner that people give more importance to people, who are physically and mentally whole over the person who is physically and mentally disadvantaged. Normally, those people with marked disability are treated worthless in the Society and are regarded as a big burden in life that many do not give them importance or attention anymore that they continue to experience physical and mental regression.
I understand how it feels to become a victim of “Racism/Judgmentalism” and “Sexism/Preferentialism,” because I myself have experienced prejudice and discrimination inside and outside the church being a woman and a citizen of the third world country. Similar to what had Nelle Morton felt, “the very foundation of my earth likewise shook.” In Japan, I have experienced to work with Japanese Pastors, who are very protective of their conditioned patriarchal cultural faith and religion that they only authorize men to lead important ministries in …show more content…

Women are not at all inferior to men as they suppose. Therefore, women should not permit the traditional standing the world has imposed on women in the culture to disqualify us from fulfilling our God-given mission. God has equally blessed the men and women to work together within and outside the church in the mission of educating, equipping, empowering the helpless children, mountain people, blacks, labor, women, and others. As women, we have the power to become the voice for the minority into sound speeches to promote peace and equality. Women are God’s instruments to defend the powerless and to even established their hopes by educating them appropriately in the wisdom of God in order that they may fearfully live and obey according to God’s Word and become empowered servants of the “Great commission” in spreading the Gospel of love, life, peace, unity and freedom in the world. Nelle Morton has already started challenging men’s behavior towards women in the culture and the church’s prejudice in discriminating women’s leadership; thus, women should continue to commit themselves for the church to hear women speech for equality and understand the greater significance for women to interpret and communicate their theology. Like Nelle, women have to keep motivating and providing hope to a generation of women

  • Similarities Between Dubois And Judith Wellman

    757 Words  | 4 Pages

    Dubois describes women originals created moral reform societies that expanded the sense of true womanhood (264). These were concerned with topics such as the sexual rights of women and were put in to place to protect virtue many of the time. The different moral reform societies set the ground floor for various movements such as the Women’s Temperance Movement in 1852, which asserted women’s power to protect their homes and livelihood, when their husbands were participating in troublesome behavior, like drinking (Dubois, 265-266). When this movement and others took hold, women became involved movements, like the abolitionist movement, which brought the women in direct conflict with the political and religious institutions during this time. The Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society in 1833, was not only important because of trying to end slavery, but it was essential ground work that pushed women in the direction of obtaining their rights (271).

    Certainly, Norris provides an emotional and historical plea to the reader to support the cause for women in the Church. More so, it also tends to support a more intensive feminist dialogue within the Benedictine Order. After all, Catholic monasteries had typically only allowed men into the order, and Norris is an example of the evolution of a female integration into these monasteries. This quote is a powerful emotive plea to restore the proper role of women as equals to men in the development of the early Roman Catholic

Currently, our society is experiencing a particularly interesting moment that will shape antiquity.

    One might say, then your statement of women inequalities are not really on point. To the contrary, these women are needed to prove themselves way more than that of what a man has to do. Therefore, leaving the playing field very much uneven; in some cases, the women are obtaining degrees and doctorates and needing to start their own church to be the leader, because the men of these established organizations still have a problem sharing the limelight and pulpit with women who are in many ways smarter than them. I’ve come to the conclusion that as women we will have to work five times harder, achieve ten times more, and make sure I don’t take any sick days in order to garner the same respect an ordinary man has and receives.

  • Lewes And Lecide's Letter To Melusina Fay Peirce

    775 Words  | 4 Pages

    The nature of womanhood, or what we perceive as the inherent proclivities that govern only those born as a woman, is often the base argument for the unequal treatment of the female sex. Women are weak, natural-born mothers, unfit to do much else beyond simple household chores and rearing children. This portrait of women seems almost comical in its antiquity; however, we cannot disregard the past, as it shapes the present. The question of the nature of womanhood is rarely allowed nuance, which is a shame, because womanhood can be many, often contradictory things. Instead, the traits we often associate with womanhood stem from society’s projection of what women should be, not necessarily what they are.

  • Virtuous Women Found Summary

    Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, in her article “Vertuous Women Found: New England Ministerial Literature, 1668-1735,” argues the ministerial writings of New England during the late seventeenth-early eighteenth century promoted an ideology of gender equality within a larger paradoxical environment. The dominant Puritan culture in which they lived created a separation of status within diverging social and spiritual fields. While legal, economic, and educational opportunities for women were severely limited in society, there existed a pervasive inherent equality among the sexes in regards to godly matters. (Ulrich, 37) To Support her claim, Ulrich relies heavily on ministerial literature, which consisted of marriage sermons, childbirth treatises, and funeral eulogies.

  • The Portrayal Of Men And Women In The Catholic Church

    1930 Words  | 8 Pages

    According to the Women's Ordination Conference, one of the largest organizations fighting for women's ordination and full equality within the Catholic Church, ordaining women should not be determined on the basis of gender because “a priest's job is to serve the people of G-d,” (WOC). Gender should not have any relevance when it comes to priesthood, and seeing as both men and women have been created in G-d’s divine image, this means that “both may represent Christ as priests,” (WOC). Through expanding ordination to include women, the church would be solving a “severe worldwide shortage of priests,” (WOC). Over the past few decades, the Catholic population has been decreasing dramatically, and through excluding female ordination, it has led several churches without priests. Ordaining women has the potential to solve this crisis along with working towards a more gender inclusive environment within the Catholic Church.

    Rather than focusing on gifts appropriate to activities such as preaching and teaching, as Paul himself did in 1 Corinthians, these letters tend to emphasize external respectability, orthodoxy, and conformity, marking a shift from a charismatic to an institutional church. They are also notable in emphasizing a level of gender inequality not found in the Pauline epistles, in which individual gifts are more important than gender and women are present as deacons. A second important shift we see here is in the attitude towards marriage. While Paul himself was celibate and saw marriage as second best to celibacy, these letters favor
