CRR ( Traditions )

When reading Taming Of  the Shrew I connected to many things. There were many actions and traditions that are similar to the culture in Africa. As a girl , women, young lady , or teenager , all women are treated equal and are dependable towards cooking , raising the family , and most importantly respecting their husbands. Which is quite similar to the culture in Taming Of The Shrew where Bianca fit perfect into women's role in society. Another thing I can relate to is how Katherine was forced to marry Petruchio even without her approval , in Africa young teenagers are often forced to marry at a young age either to protect the family , or to not deny it because of the respect they have for their father that they cannot say no to embarrass him.The way Katherine became at the end , when she was tamed reminds me of how the young girls that are forced to getting married become while their in their marriage , its more like a dictatorship rather than a companionship.

The Taming Of the Shrew (CRR)

The taming of the shrew is a good book that defines how do society and culture defines a person. We all know the main characters Katherine, Bianca , Baptista , Lucentio and Petruchio are the main focus in this book. In this book we observed and visualized the different roles of woman in society. Women are nothing without men , women are suppose to stay home and take care of the kids, be soft spoken , and uneducated. However Katherine was a woman that went against all these stereotypes and started to believe that she can be anything she wants , say what she wants , how she wants, and where ever she wants. Bianca is the woman who "fits" in society because she goes by the rules society is told them to. During the Socratic seminar I was comparing then and now , the future,past and the present. I concluded during the seminar , that history really reflects on the future today , I believe that no matter how successful women become in society they will always be below men just because that's how it used to be. I do believe there is a difference between gender and sex but there are also a limitations that classify why woman aren't that successful in that certain type of area. I believe men and women will always be compared to each other its just a natural thing to do , its is like the test to show if we are strong enough to prove our point or not. Living in this kind of society encourages me to do best so that I can prove something to improve hope on women being successful.

Pregnancy ( Free Choice )

Pregnancy is a major step in life . It is the time period where a woman is carrying another life inside of her. Pregnancy is when a lady starts growing , living and eat for two. In my religion and culture pregnancy is taken very seriously. For instance , you are not to have a kid before getting married or that child that you have would be considered a "bastard" a "sin". In this culture woman are often viewed as housewives and have weaker voices compared to men. In the religion Islam , men are superior to woman which is why they take the lead in many things such as when we pray , when they have a family the men are usually the ones in charge according to todays society. Pregnancy also is  another way of increasing population. Through pregnancy we are able to know the face of the baby , classify its step in your gender , and hear the baby heart beat or kick.  I believe pregnancy is an example of how women are sometimes superior more than men. Pregnancy also bring a lot of responsibility , maturity , and it comes with an open mind since you are moving to a bigger step in your life that would either break you or make you.
