EDUCATION AND FEMINISM
My project is on feminism having an impact education and schooling.Feminists believe society is male control.Feminists also think that society is based on competing between the sexes. They believe that women have been deprived in society and that men historically have had more power than women. Feminists believe this is wrong and needs changing.
Many feminists believe that women are being suppressed by a male-dominated society both in education and also later in life. They argue that the curriculum is more based around traditionally male-dominated subjects. Thus it sets up men more than women for further education or more prosperous work opportunities. Coupled with this is the stereotypical view of a woman’s part in society of becoming housewives, marrying early and having children. Feminists argue that this contributes to the suppression put on women by the male-run society.

I feel like you can also tie education into what careers women also pursue. Women are seen to be housewives, etc. But talk about how they can also be CEO's or something major, because they now have the opportunity to have an equal education as a man does (most times).
ReplyDeleteConsidering that Malala is not necessarily a visual artist, I think your topic is very important when relating to issues today. Maybe you could find a well known visual or media artist that supports Malala's message about activism and feminism.
ReplyDeleteThis topic is very deep. It holds the capacity to discuss women in third world countries and the life styles they lead. This topic can also discuss women and education and how certain women can never get the education they require, as well as the effect of education on the lives of those around that young woman. This topic can do so much.
