| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Impact of Patriarchy and Gender Stereotypes on Working Women Bhabani Shankar Nayak, Naznin Tabassum, 2025-01-10 This book explores the meaning, perceptions, historical and current cultural and psychological roots of gender stereotypes and patriarchy in the workplace. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the types of stereotypes, their origins, and theoretical underpinnings as well as a comparison of the different paradigms across cultures. As the narrative progresses, the book then provides a conceptual model of impact of gender stereotyping on female expatriates and provides evidence of women’s experiences at work and in the society from across different countries. It also shows mindsets across different generations and examines the possible impact of generative AI tools. This all reveals how this phenomenon still exists despite the increased number of women in workforce and how these stereotypes perpetuate harmful norms that limit individual potential, reinforce inequality, and enhance discrimination. Relevant for scholars, researchers, students, practitioners, and policy makers, this book encourages readers to self-reflect on their own internalized beliefs and biases, paving the way for personal growth and societal transformation. |

| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Why Does Patriarchy Persist? Carol Gilligan, Naomi Snider, 2018-10-22 The election of an unabashedly patriarchal man as US President was a shock for many—despite decades of activism on gender inequalities and equal rights, how could it come to this? What is it about patriarchy that seems to make it so resilient and resistant to change? Undoubtedly it endures in part because some people benefit from the unequal advantages it confers. But is that enough to explain its stubborn persistence? In this highly original and persuasively argued book, Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snider put forward a different view: they argue that patriarchy persists because it serves a psychological function. By requiring us to sacrifice love for the sake of hierarchy, patriarchy protects us from the vulnerability of loving and becomes a defense against loss. Uncovering the powerful psychological mechanisms that underpin patriarchy, the authors show how forces beyond our awareness may be driving a politics that otherwise seems inexplicable. |

| characteristics of a patriarchal society: In the Name of Women's Rights Sara R. Farris, 2017-04-27 Sara R. Farris examines the demands for women's rights from an unlikely collection of right-wing nationalist political parties, neoliberals, and some feminist theorists and policy makers. Focusing on contemporary France, Italy, and the Netherlands, Farris labels this exploitation and co-optation of feminist themes by anti-Islam and xenophobic campaigns as “femonationalism.” She shows that by characterizing Muslim males as dangerous to western societies and as oppressors of women, and by emphasizing the need to rescue Muslim and migrant women, these groups use gender equality to justify their racist rhetoric and policies. This practice also serves an economic function. Farris analyzes how neoliberal civic integration policies and feminist groups funnel Muslim and non-western migrant women into the segregating domestic and caregiving industries, all the while claiming to promote their emancipation. In the Name of Women's Rights documents the links between racism, feminism, and the ways in which non-western women are instrumentalized for a variety of political and economic purposes. |

| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Theory of Women in Religions Catherine Wessinger, 2020-12-01 An introduction to the study of women in diverse religious cultures While women have made gains in equality over the past two centuries, equality for women in many religious traditions remains contested throughout the world. In the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints women are not ordained as priests. In areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan under Taliban occupation girls and women students and their teachers risk their lives to go to school. And in Sri Lanka, fully ordained Buddhist nuns are denied the government identity cards that recognize them as citizens. Is it possible to create families, societies, and religions in which women and men are equal? And if so, what are the factors that promote equality? Theory of Women in Religions offers an economic model to shed light on the forces that have impacted the respective statuses of women and men from the earliest developmental stages of society through the present day. Catherine Wessinger integrates data and theories from anthropology, archaeology, sociology, history, gender studies, and psychology into a concise history of religions introduction to the complex relationship between gender and religion. She argues that socio-economic factors that support specific gender roles, in conjunction with religious norms and ideals, have created a gendered division of labor that both directly and indirectly reinforces gender inequality. Yet she also highlights how as the socio-economic situation is changing religion is being utilized to support the transition toward women’s equality, noting the ways in which many religious representations of gender change over time. |

| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Theorizing Patriarchy Sylvia Walby, 1991-01-08 Sylvia Walby provides an overview of recent theoretical debates - Marxism, radical and liberal feminism, post-structuralism and dual systems theory. She shows how each can be applied to a range of substantive topics from paid work, housework and the state, to culture, sexuality and violence, relying on the most up-to-date empirical findings. Arguing that patriarchy has been vigorously adaptable to the changes in women's position, and that some of women's hard-won social gains have been transformed into new traps, Walby proposes a combination of class analysis with radical feminist theory to explain gender relations in terms of both patriarchal and capitalist structure. |

| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Dynamism of Character in Shakespeare's Mature Tragedies Piotr Sadowski, 2003 The theory considers human behavior in terms of functional equilibrium between the stable properties of the mind, independent from the pressures of the sociocultural environment and the immediate situational context. What we call character thus denotes an autonomous configuration of psychological elements, which remains stable despite the changing external circumstances. |
| characteristics of a patriarchal society: The Theory of Christian Psychology Eva Klostreich, 2008-07-17 The Theory of Christian Psychology comes from the worldview that sees humanity as the object of a love relationship with Jesus Christ. Parallel to Buddhist forms of Psychology, The Theory of Christian Psychology meets the worldwide Christian population need for its own Psychology. The Theory of Christian Psychology presents a flexible foundation, addressing personality with full humanity dimension, integrating principles of clinical psychology found in Psychoanalytic Psychodynamic Psychology. Soundly Biblical and non-denominational it focuses on key precepts that bind Christianity together. The Theory of Christian Psychology bridges clinical psychology and theology in an intersection of power accessibility. Psychology has been culture alien to Christianity. I have been asked to leave churches who only need God when they discovered I was a psychologist, and criticized by others, who only need psychology. Sound psychological principles are inherent throughout the Bible. There is no dichotomy necessary. We just need to speak the same language to clearly see the intersection. Issues addressed in The Theory of Christian Psychology carry relevancy for law and education. Her fi rst book, Dr. Klostreich plans to continue to write and speak. She is initiating The Institute for Christian Psychology to offer seminars, training, certification and ongoing research. |

| characteristics of a patriarchal society: The Heroic Female Stephanie Laggini Fiore, 2020-05-15 The Heroic Female: Redefining the Role of the Heroine in the Tragedies of Vittorio Alfieri fills a void in critical inquiry on the works of eighteenth-century tragedian Vittorio Alfieri – perhaps the most important figure of the Italian Enlightenment – by exploring in depth the often neglected female characters and their function within the tragic structure. In this re-reading of the Alfierian tragedies, the author redefines the role of the heroine, and challenges traditional analyses that marginalize the female character and orient her to an abstract ideal characterized by fragility and tragic victimization. The author argues persuasively that, in Alfieri’s search for psychological realism, he undermines traditional assumptions of gender roles by his modern portrayal of the tragic characters. The heroine’s different orientation towards reality endows her with intuitive and intelligent reasoning that contradicts eighteenth-century views of women as catalysts of anarchy and disorder. Alfieri’s tragic heroines are represented also as surprisingly independent and powerful. The resultant image of determined, active, and intelligent women refutes the traditional critical view. In exploring Vittorio Alfieri’s pre-modern sensibilities in the representation of his tragic heroines, this book is an important contribution to the growing body of critical works that study the representation of gender in post-Renaissance and pre-modern Italian literature. This book will be of particular interest to: scholars of Italian literature, especially the Enlightenment and Romantic periods; scholars of 18th-century European, American and other literatures; scholars of 18th-century history and sociology; and Women’s Studies and Gender Studies scholars. |
| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Character Analysis: Androgyny in Mary Shelleys "Frankenstein" Cristina Flores, 2014-03-21 Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Paderborn, language: English, abstract: Families in the 19th century mostly lived in a patriarchal society. Growing up during this time, Mary Shelley used this society “ruled or controlled by men” as the basis for the population of her novel Frankenstein. On the first sight, the characters appear to fulfill their gender roles perfectly. Women occupy the domestic sphere, men work outside home. In addition, women are only of marginal importance whereas men appear as the strong protagonists who are able to influence the storyline. Even if this first overview is correct, Mary Shelley does not maintain this severe separation of sexes and their characteristics but proves that both women and men own some features of the other sex. Therefore, one could state that the women in Frankenstein have an important role as well, as, at second sight, they share a lot of similarities with men and vice versa which contributes to analyze the topic of androgyny. In my term paper I will therefore concentrate on this androgyny of men and women in Frankenstein. Being androgynous, which can be defined as the state of “having both male and female characteristics” , is an essential element of the novel. Analyzing the male characters one discovers that the male characteristics are important but that it is especially the femaleness which leads to the course of the novel and not typically male behavior. With regard to women, the androgyny shows the beginning of emancipation and hence, women as contemporary heroines, able to escape from a male-dominated society. Furthermore, it is important to analyze the monster that shows androgynous traits so that it cannot be classified as either male or female. These features show that the monster possesses general human qualities as it shares a lot of similarities with the characters of the novel. |

| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Gender Inequality David E.

| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Georgia on my mind Sonia Maria Melchiorre, Manan Rusheisvili, 2022-04-22 The series Genderising. Redesigning Gender is a gamble that demonstrates how much the networking activity of universities, together with other society actors, such as our publisher here, and all over the world, can contribute to bringing different cultures together, to help them grow in their respective socio-cultural contexts. This volume is a result of academic cooperation between the University of Tuscia, Viterbo, Italy and the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU), Tbilisi, Georgia. The papers were written by academic staff and young researchers working at TSU. They all discuss some of the issues concerning gender from different points of view. Gender has become an interesting issue for research in academia due to its interdisciplinarity. This volume reveals the diversity of the directions for research in this respect. This series is dedicated to all those who have always believed that gender studies, as a transdisciplinary field, could have a future in the academia. |

Derived from the kabbalistic diagram of the Tree of Life and the author's own Sabbath Star diagram, this universal model encodes the laws of all cosmic manifestation, giving a mathematical basis to many aspects of this mystical tradition and providing a new synthesis of science and spirituality that may well write a new chapter to the Kabbalah. |
| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Erich Fromm and the Quest for Solidarity Lawrence Wilde, 2016-04-30 Erich Fromm and the Quest for Solidarity argues that Fromm's humanistic ethics provides a framework for the analysis of alienation in affluent societies and his exploration of the social forces capable of challenging that alienation. It examines his work on authoritarianism, the experience of work, the struggle against patriarchy, the dangers of consumerism and the manipulation of needs, the urgent need to revive democracy, and the challenge of the emerging 'one world'. Never losing sight of the ancient dream of human solidarity, Fromm's explicitly ethical approach exerts a compelling relevance to a range of issues in contemporary social and political theory. |
| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Scripture Dianne Bergant, 2016-03-24 Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ. What Saint Jerome said centuries ago is surely still true today; any serious theological study must be grounded in Scripture. While there are plenty of biblical scholars today, few authors are able to introduce Scripture to students the way Dianne Bergant does. Bergant invites readers to genuinely engage Scripture, to enter the world of the text and explore some of the age-old questions that arise in every generation: ' What does it mean to say that the Word of God is both divine and human? ' Why is biblical history so important to the study of Scripture and theology? ' Why are there different literary forms in the Bible? ' Why the competing voices and apparent contradictions? In language that is clear and compelling, Bergant explores the answers to these and other questions. She surveys the world of the Bible and biblical scholarship in an introduction that is sure to spark enthusiasm and further interest. This volume in the Engaging Theology series instills solid knowledge of Scripture and, thereby, knowledge of Christ, demonstrating that the Bible is an inexhaustible source of challenge and delight, of inspiration and guidance, and a testimony to ultimate meaning and value. |
| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Harry Potter Ruthann Mayes-Elma, 2007-01-01 Since the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone came out in the United States in 1997; it and the six subsequent volumes have been on the New York Times bestsellers list continuously. Harry Potter no longer solely exists in books; he is everywhere dominating our world and our children’s worlds, which is why it is important to analyze just what Harry Potter is teaching our children. Although the Harry Potter series has been critiqued and analyzed by journalists and academics alike, there are fascinating gaps in the analyses. Perhaps the most rousing of these gaps is the virtual lack of attention to the ways in which J. K. Rowling has constructed gender, and the agency of the female characters, within the texts. The purpose of this book is to address this rousing gap, by critically deconstructing the representation of women’s agency by the female characters in the Harry Potter books 2-6. The study draws on all of the pre-existing theories, frameworks, underpinnings and themes that came out of the analysis that were set forth in the pilot study/first book that critically deconstructed the first Harry Potter book. There are many different books that discuss the Harry Potter phenomenon, but rarely do they analyze the books through a social justice lens, specifically looking at gender. |
| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Indian Tribal Culture Gaya Pandey, 2022-01-01 This book is an academic attempt of the author to present cultural features of Indian tribes, developmental efforts made by the Government to bring them in mainstream and socio-cultural changes which have occurred in different periods of time making them dynamic and progressive. The book is divided into twenty chapters dealing with the tribals of India. As we know that Indian tribals are found in every geographical region of India such as north-eastern Indian region, north-western Indian region, central Indian region, western Indian region and southern Indian region. Therefore, region-wise cultural practices have been presented in the book describing their social, economic, political, religious, ritualistic, village, polyandrous, polygenous, movements, forest life, women and tribal identity. Changing models of tribal development, welfare programmes and developmental programmes launched by the Government have also found significant place in the book. Processes of socio-cultural changes like Hinduisation, Islamisation, Christianisation, Westernisation, modernisation, secularisation, urbanisation, industrialisation, globalisation, detribalisation, revitalisation, retribalisation and tribalisation have been presented in scientific manner. The book will be of great help to the students of Anthropology, Sociology, History and other social science subjects. It will also be useful to the candidates opting anthropology in different India level or State level competitive examinations and other scholars interested in understanding tribal culture development and change wholistically. |
| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Educational Development and Social Sciences (EDSS 2025) Rekha Koul, Samsilah Roslan, Mohd Nazri Bin Abdul Rahman, Catherine Lee Cheng Ean, 2025-06-16 This is an open access book. The 2nd International Conference on Educational Development and Social Sciences (EDSS 2025) aims to bring together scholars, educators, and policymakers to discuss the dynamic interplay between educational advancements and social sciences. As our world faces unprecedented challenges and transformative changes, the role of education in shaping societies becomes ever more critical. Building on the inaugural conference’s success, EDSS 2025 seeks to extend the dialogue to include more interdisciplinary approaches and international perspectives. Contrary to the previous edition, which focused largely on educational theories and initial empirical findings, this year's conference is set to delve into more practical applications and innovative methodologies. With a clearer emphasis on global trends and digitalization in education, EDSS 2025 aims to explore how emerging technologies and pedagogical innovations can address existing educational inequities and enhance learning experiences across diverse contexts. The primary objective of EDSS 2025 is to provide a collaborative platform where experts from various fields can share advanced research, discuss best practices, and develop strategies to tackle real-world educational and social issues. By fostering cross-disciplinary interactions, the conference aspires to generate actionable insights and effective solutions that can be implemented at both community and policy levels. Furthermore, the conference aims to highlight success stories and scalable models from different parts of the world, promoting the transfer of knowledge and fostering international cooperation. |
| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Perspectives in Sociology E.C. Cuff, A.J. Dennis, D.W. Francis, W.W. Sharrock, 2006-09-27 From its first edition in 1979, Perspectives in Sociology has provided generations of undergraduates with a clear, reassuring introduction to the complications of sociological theory. This revised and updated edition features: a concise introduction to the major debates of the twentieth century, placing them in historical and philosophical context information on thinkers of the nineteenth and early twentieth century whose relevance to modern social thought is only now being recognized, e.g. Nietszche, Saussure, Simmel connections drawn between post-structuralist thinkers like Foucault and Derrida and the founding figures of sociology: Marx, Weber and Durkheim a completely rewritten chapter on the ‘Synthesisers’ - Bourdieu, Habermas and Giddens - and their attempts to generate a consensus from the apparently conflicting theories of their predecessors a new chapter reviewing the rise of British sociology, with particular reference to the political context and the changing role of ‘class’ in sociological thinking a new chapter describing the attempts of sociological theorists to explain current concerns, problems, and issues in the areas of gender, (homo)sexuality, and ethnicity in the context of the postcolonial world. While retaining its emphasis and wealth of information on the founding figures of sociology, this fifth edition now features a new easy-to-read format, (with particular attention paid to the linking and cross-referencing of chapters), and includes much new material on contemporary social theory with particular reference to its attempts to tackle current problems and issues in the areas of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity in the postcolonial context. |
| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Fault, Responsibility, and Administrative Law in Late Babylonian Legal Texts F. Rachel Magdalene, Cornelia Wunsch, Bruce Wells, 2019-10-24 This book presents a reassessment of the governmental systems of the Late Babylonian period—specifically those of the Neo-Babylonian and early Persian empires—and provides evidence demonstrating that these are among the first to have developed an early form of administrative law. The present study revolves around a particular expression that, in its most common form, reads ḫīṭu ša šarri išaddad and can be translated as “he will be guilty (of an offense) against the king.” The authors analyze ninety-six documents, thirty-two of which have not been previously published, discussing each text in detail, including the syntax of this clause and its legal consequences, which involve the delegation of responsibility in an administrative context. Placing these documents in their historical and institutional contexts, and drawing from the theories of Max Weber and S. N. Eisenstadt, the authors aim to show that the administrative bureaucracy underlying these documents was a more complex, systematized, and rational system than has previously been recognized. Accompanied by extensive indexes, as well as transcriptions and translations of each text analyzed here, this book breaks new ground in the study of ancient legal systems. |
| characteristics of a patriarchal society: CHINESE PATH FROM A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE CHEN XUEMING, 2023-01-02 The path of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics represents the pursuit of a state of existence that indeed belongs to human and is a revolution in the way human beings exist under the domination of Western civilization, which is in crisis. The creation of the path of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics has not only greatly transformed the course of China’s historical development, but also had a momentous impact on world history. The book of Chinese Path from a Global Perspective uses a down-to-earth writing style, a profound but accessible theoretical language, discusses the world significance of Chinese path from three aspects: the historic contribution of the Chinese path to human civilization, the demonstration effect of the Chinese path on developing countries and the significance of the Chinese path for the world socialist movement. |
| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Language and Culture in the Intercultural World Vesna Mikolič, 2020-12-09 The intensification of contacts between cultures and languages has a major impact on all social spheres today. Multiculturalism and multilingualism are important elements of the local, regional, national and global community. Much of the world’s conflict stems from the contrast between globalization and nationalism, fuelled by religions, racial divisions, traditions and other cultural particularities. Focusing mainly on the situation in Central and South-eastern Europe, this book addresses how cultural identities develop through tourism, education, literature and other social fields, and how language and literature teaching should be planned in this context. It consists of the following sections: Language, Culture and Tourism; Interculturalism, Multilingualism and Approaches to Language Learning; and Culture in Literature and Translation. The volume will be of interest to teachers and researchers of cultural and tourism studies, linguistics and language learning, literary studies and translation, while also addressing wider readers interested in contemporary intercultural society. |
| characteristics of a patriarchal society: Arab Society (Routledge Revivals) Samih Farsoun, 2013-10-08 The Arab world has long been subjected to super-power rivalry for influence and control. The area has been characterized by bloody conflict with Israel and the internal instability that has been particularly prevalent in the last few years. Whilst these political struggles have been highly visible and at times spectacular over the decades, other transformations have taken place within the societies and peoples of the region, on a less pronounced – although just as profound – scale. The integration of the region into the world economy and the spread of Islamic revivalism are perhaps the most significant of these transformations. This volume, inspired by a lecture series on the Arab world in transition at the American University, Washington D.C., was first published in 1985. It discusses a wide range of issues, from economic to religious, which together form an in-depth analysis of the complex processes of transformation in Arab society. This is a fascinating work that holds the same interest and value to scholars and students of Middle Eastern history, politics and domestic affairs, as it did when it was first published. |
