Topic 10 : Topic: Why do we study gender studies
Gender Studies is one subject that
has taught in the foundation year in our university. The word Gender refer to “ It
was used as an analytical category to draw a line of demarcation between
biological sex differences and the way these are used to inform behaviors and
competencies which are then assigned as either ‘masculine’ or ‘feminine’.” We
have to study Gender Studies for three reasons.
First of all, Gender Studies bring
equality between men and women. As we know in the past some countries are gender
stereotypes. It means that society not equal. For example, in China or India, a daughter may not allow learning high education as a son. It is true that a son
will become a leader in the family, but they should consider a daughter who has enough ability and
want to have the same education as a son. Moreover, it helps women and men
understand about their rights. It is natural that women don’t strong like a man, but in front of the law; we have the same right such as political, or married.
Second, Gender studies improve
education to women. We can see that women face many problems in living such as
reproductive health. Reproductive health is critical to the health and
wellbeing of women and children in the developing world. Some women may shy in
public talk about reproductive health, so gender studies teach them brave to
share about it. For instance, in Cambodia, has more percent of women who
contagious HIV from husband and mother to children because of poor knowledge of
it. In addition, women will have a plan about getting children, abortion and
especially violence in the family.
Third, besides bring equal between man
and woman, and education to women, it development feminism to societies. Now a day we see some position in our government
has done by a woman. Move over, in some companies, the education department gives
chance and encourage woman to work or study more than man. The most important
our societies also evaluate woman more than the past.
It clear to see that, why we have to
study Gender Studies because it brings an
equal between man and woman, educated women, and development feminism to our
societies. It has changed thinking of some people , and corrected some bad behavior that looks down or women,
herself doesn’t valuate about her gender. That is grate that our study has
that subject.
