This certain institution/ ideas and practices required to change because it's seems discrimination between girls and boys and boys dominate the girls . Girls think herself very much inferior and she not able to do their own desires work which she want to do.
ReplyDeleteIn this modern age/times anybody can be heir to the family property be it boys or girls, early marriage /dowry for girls should not be encouraged. Work wise whoever is more capable/hardworking preference should be given,.menstrual myths/taboos should be avoided. About restrictions of going out both boys and girls should be taken into equal consideration. Even after marriages girls should never be considered as outsiders as they are our own. We should never consider that girls are inferior to boys.
ReplyDeleteWe have been heard and seen from the early days that gender stereotype activities are been practiced in various society like choosing boys over girls apparently in every field, but as we can see in this modern days many things has been changed and had to be change a lot further, girl are not the second choice any more they can take care of their parents, family etc, infact girls are doing better than boys.
ReplyDeleteThese certain ideas and practices must be stopped at the earliest. In today's modern time, girls are not inferior to their Male counterparts. A girl can do any kind of job with perfection assigned to them. Discrimination on the basis of gender must be stopped. The above mentioned institutions , ideas and practices are orthodox in nature and should be replaced immediately.
ReplyDeleteStereotype activities are practiced in many societies. Bias and prejudice were prevelant in the past. But in this modern era both boys and girls have equal rights. Girls should not be deprived of preveledges and preferences.
ReplyDeleteSocially,child marriage or early marriage dogmas should be discouraged. We should condemn dowry system. Physically, both man and woman can move from one place to another for all round development. Infact girls take care better than boys as well as of parents. So right of permanent member should be given to them.
Gender discrimination continues in every aspect. The need of the hour is to make a change in the mindset of the society. What is required is a converted effort to sensitise the society in eradicating this issue of gender inequality. It is high time that every child should be treated equally.
ReplyDeleteAll of these have to be changed because.. it created a discrimination between girls and boys, although girls has a equal rights to perceived every aspect of equality in family and society.
ReplyDeleteEvery society mush change their way of thinking.They should give equal opportunities to girls.Social changes will bring drastic changes for girls in the society.
ReplyDeletePractice of gender inequalities must be changed at this 21st century because day by human life is becoming shortage, so one's life must be go easy with harmony.
ReplyDeleteAccording to me all of these have to change. It created discrimination between girls and boys. In today's world both girls and boys are equal.
ReplyDeleteSons or girls will be equally legal heirs of family property. It should be avoid early marriage of girls and should not prefer a boy than a girl. If we do not stop timely than boys and girls are equally depression and suffering both physical and mental.
ReplyDelete# In many tribal societies sons can only inherit immovable properties and girls all movable. When comes the question of legal heirs of family properties, then, yes, daughters should also have equal share.
ReplyDelete# Early marriage of girls are also due to thinking girls as properties, this mentality must be changed to bring improvements real gender equality.
# Time and time again in the past this statement has been proven wrong that 'men are care givers/nurturers', so, why cling to false idea.
# Showing love & affection for daughters by giving some properties when they are married is understandable but making it a trend or norms in society is bad. Dowry must banned.
# In the most cases, pretext of keeping the family name, sons are preferred over daughters. The world is changing, so dogmatic ideas also must be changed.
# Menstruation is a part and parcel of woman, It is natural, and we must not add wrong perceptions. There should not be any false teaching.
# When men will in reality respect women, there won't be any restrictions on physical mobility of girls.
# Understanding girls as non-permanent members of the family is gender disparity. So, it must be changed.
These things strengthen patriarchal society... If we want an equality for all then these practices need to change.
ReplyDeleteThe Indian constitution guarantee equal rights to both male and females. But in many fields we observe inequalities in female than man. Our society is a patriarchal society. from immemorial past social practices, philosophies, ideas, rules etc are framed and formulated by keeping male dominancy. It is only due to illiteracy, ignorance etc. which results the unsocial practices on females prevailed in the society that should required to be changed or modified with time.
ReplyDeleteThe various evil practices on females prevailed in the society are :- the practice of Dowry, Child marriage, Female Infanticides ,menstrual taboos and myths, restriction of physical mobibility etc.
In the Society girl child are treated as "PORAYA DHAN". and due to the Practices of Dowry, probably girl Childs are reared miserably than Boys and make it a burden. Hence, they don't provide equal opportunity to grow in the society. Moreover, females contribution towards making social structure was overlooked. Hence, at the time of birth they are been killed in the mothers womb which we called as female infanticide. This results in the imbalances of sex ratio as a result social evils like rape, prostitution etc is seen which drag our society in wrong direction. Though Govt. has passed various regulation and implemented it but 100% check on this social evils lays on the hands of prolonged poor mindset of the people in the society.
We come across various menstrual myths and Taboos of Female in the society. At the time of menstrual cycles females are kept isolated and not allowed to participate social rituals as they are not treated as sacred which also demoralizes females for participation in social activities that could probably led to decreases in the efficiency level. For eradication of such existing taboos and myths we should changed our existing mindset and modify our prevailed societal rules etc then only we can succeed.
In regards of social mobility restriction are imposed to females as females are treated less powerful in strength then man. Hence, to provide protection restriction on mobility is imposed to girls. But, this type of narrow mindedness we should give up . We should realize ourselves that both male and females are equal but only exist in biological difference.
In regards with economic independence, females are also play a vital role to make family and society prosperous. if females are given equal chance to raise income then family's income automatically increases and become self dependent which paves the way for independent thinking which is beneficial for development of community / society as well as for the country. Hence, equal rules in terms of legal heir of family property should equally be granted to both boys and girls.
Hope, in coming days we will able to eradicate all evil practices against women and provide equal opportunities in various fields that will surely raise the status at per male which we are observing these days.
All this have to be changed because it support stereotype society, and create discrimination between boys and girl.
ReplyDeleteSocially we really encounter such stereotypes where priorities for property is preferred for boys whereas Early marriage for girls. So society treats girls inferior and a less important part of society and needs to be changed immediately. A woman if given importance would make a family better and world a better place to live.
ReplyDeleteSince past days male dominating society is prevailing,where males are enjoying much more rights compared to females in decision making,public assembling,educatinh,performing rituals etc which compels females to feel inferrior and neglected.Beside this,there prevails a belief that sons are the permanent care taker & house holder but daughters are not.Thus,every one prefers male child than female child and gives all the properties to son not to daughters.
ReplyDeleteSome institution and ideas should be change because these all ideas creates a Male dominated society which results the backwardness of female. Female gender will never get the opportunity to rise up in her future. We have seen from the pre historic period that there was a great hand of women in the developmental activities of the society. If we keep the women group dominant there is a hindrance in the path of development of the society too. We should treat equal to both the gender as both if them are equally important for the society. Only son should not be the heirs as daughter has the right to be heir because she can also look after the parents property well sometimes in comparison to son.All the above points must be avoided because all these points are anti female things
ReplyDeleteStereotypes Society must be driven away , this is all round reason which make our society a insecure and slow down our Development . Every individual and societies must change their way of thinking that Females are no more less than Male , so they must be g as equal status
ReplyDeleteCertain institutions and ideas must be eradicated from Society this all just make a hurdle in developing Healthy society . A contribution from a group of Society ( female) is not entertain which reduce speed of developing society and create unsecure society .loving and care must not be on the basis of gender
ReplyDeleteIn many tribal societies sons can knly the immovable property's and girls are all moveable.But in modern times daughters should also aequal share. The various able practiceses on demake privaile in the society are the practice of dowry,child marriage, female infanticide, menstrual taboos and myths,restriction of physical mobility etc.Female's contribution towards making socila structures was over look.At the time of bith they are been killed in the mothers wombs which we called femine infanticide. At the time of menstrual myhts and the taboos of females in society. At the time of menstrual periods female kept isolated and not allowed to participate social rituals. We should realised ourself that male and female are equal but only in exist in biologically differences. Female are also play a vital role to make familyl and society properouse.In furure ee will able to eradicate all evil practices against women and provide equal opportunity in various fields.
ReplyDeleteThese certain institution, ideas and practices are highly discriminatory . Gender should not be the factor in deciding the Worth of a person,male or female.Thus, this institution, ideas and practices required to change.
ReplyDeleteThis is how the patriarchal society adopted and child marriage is generally found in poor and illiterate families. So Teachers have to educate students/ family and society
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to gender equality, the going has always been harder for female counterpart.Our society has been blatantly biased against women.
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher I can teach my students to be OPEN MINDED & ACCEPTING for people of different background. A teacher can mobilise the next generation on how to respond to gender bias everyday. Being aware of this bias can consciously help students to cope and deal with this conflict and respond to intolerance in real world.
Stereotype practices previal in our society.socially we encounter everywhere priority are given to male.All these practices should be changed because it created discrimination among males and females. The need of the hour is to make a change in the mindset of the the society by sensitising the society in eradicating this issues of gender inequality.
ReplyDeleteIn this modern times daughter should be also given equal shares as sons. Hence, equal rules in terms of legal hire of family properties should be equally granted to both boys and girls. Discrimination on the basis of gender must be stopped
ReplyDeleteAll the above statements are gender stereotypes that is redundant in this time and age . As civilisations have evolved in terms of infrastructure , the society and mindset of human race needs to evolve too.
ReplyDeleteGone are the days when gender specific roles were there. Men are renowned cooks and women have reached the peak of Everest.
The world is now moving towards a gender neutral society and school Is a place where such ideas need to be shared and practiced.
People are opting for single child and the govt has given land rights to women .
The world is finally evolving.
Discrimination on the basis of gender must be stopped. The above mentioned institutions , ideas and practices are orthodox in nature and should be replaced immediately.We should realised ourself that male and female are equal but only in exist in biologically differences. Female are also play a vital role to make familyl and society properouse
ReplyDeleteIn this modern age , we need to change all this stereotype activities. In the past Bias and prejudice among boys and girls prevailed. The need of the hour is to change in the mind set of the society. Boys and girls to be treated equally and made equal heirs of their parents property. The world is changing so, all this dogmatic ideas must be changed. The various social evil practices on females prevailed in our society should required to be changed with time and try to provide equal opportunities to females in various fields that will help to raise the status of women. Women need a safe space to feel comfortable to speak about menstruation and support to understand their bodies. Lack of awareness results in decisions that affect a women's health and once we start busting myths and enabling girls to adopt healthy practices, many problems will be solved.
ReplyDeleteSocial construction is a continuous process in which both the individual and the wider social process play a part. Social process like socialization and education also help to make these constructions. Gender is an example of such social constructions
ReplyDeleteSex refers to the biological differences between men women and third sex. While gender refers socially determined culturally specific difference between women, men and transgender.
The Indian constitution guarantees equal rights to both males and females . But we observed that in many field there is inequalities in female than men. The various evil practices on female prevailed in the society. These are the practice of child marriage, Dowry, female Infanticides, menstrual taboos and myths, restriction of physical mobility etc.
The girls are treated as poraya dhan due to the practices of Dowry. The girls child are reared miserable than boys and make it a burden.
In this regards the economical independence of female are play a vital role make family and society prosperous.
The aware in society can change the life of Girls child and females in society and help to stops streotype pratice in our society
We are now living in 21st century and every person, reagrdless of their gender has contributed equally in every field of life, be it science, arts, entertainment etc.
ReplyDeleteIf i would like to put forth my opinions on all these mentioned points i would say that the son being the legal heir to the family property is okay. But it does not mean that the girl child be shut off from all the family property after she gets married. Every child should have an equal share.
Girls should never be forced to get married at an early age, rather they should be married with their consent and when they are ready. Everybody has their own rights in their own life.
It is not necessary that Man has to be the caregivers. It should be an inbuild character in everybody. We have to be able to reflect humankind among ourselves.
Dowry should never be practiced in any religion or tribe. Instead helping each other when needed should be the practice among the bride's and groom's family.
There has been a lot of taboos regarding women since the ancient times. But now we have really developed and know that those myths lead us nowhere but to under development of our own society. Menstrual cycle is a natural phenomena. This is what continues life on earth. We all came out of our mother's womb.
Having a child should always be considered as a blessing, whether be it a boy or a girl. So giving equal mobility rights is needed. And family members will always remain permanent, women doesnt break off their ties after getting married. Once a family member, always a member.
Respect everyone despite their gender.
We can provide individuals with the information and knowledge that can cultivate different values behaviors and belief systems. Genders norms are transferred and reinforced through communication, much of which happens informally within families and among peer groups in the wider community or through schools, religious organization, government policies, and media
ReplyDeleteThese certain ideas and practices must be stopped at the earliest. In today's modern time, girls are not inferior to their Male counterparts. A girl can do any kind of job with perfection assigned to them. Discrimination on the basis of gender must be stopped. The above mentioned institutions , ideas and practices are orthodox in nature and should be replaced immediately.Girls should never be forced to get married at an early age, rather they should be married with their consent and when they are ready.

Patriarchy and prejucide against women has always been an issue .People hVe a misogynistic thoughts and they tend to apply that in the society .Since , kids we are taught gender roles .Mens are told not to cry and act macho and we make fun of them they show any emotions.Girls are taught how to cook and work in kitchen ,during mensuration they are not allowed to entwr the temple and even eat and drink in seperate plates and glasses . This biasness and misconception should be changed and can be changed only throught proper education . That is through us that we can build their young minds and teach them the right concept .Girls can work too, they can own the property as equal as boys.Dowry has been illegal in India but it continues to thrive and camaigners say it leaves women vulnerable to domestic voilence and even death .We mjst nurture the young minds by giving the right information ,so that in the near future no such evil practices prevail.We must teach them that as an individual we are different some can be fragile and some can be stronger but not as a girl or a boy .Even boys can cry ,even boys can get assaulted ,even boys can undergo domestic voilence and it is not a taboo. This evil practices still prevail and it is only through us that we can change and nuture their young minds to create a better society.
ReplyDeleteAll of these have to be changed because it created a discrimination between girls and boys, although girls has a equal right in Indian constitution but practice of gender
ReplyDeleteinequalities is going on in all the
community. As a teacher i can teach my students to do all work together no discrimination between
girls n boys. Boys can make flower necklace for the guest n girls make sitting arrangements for the annual function.
The concept sons are legal heirs of family property is wrong. As daughters too a heirs of their family. According to Hindu succession Act, 1956, a son or a daughter has the first right as class 1 heirs over the self acquired property of his or her father if he dies without leaving a will.
ReplyDelete# Early marriage of girls are also due to thinking girls as properties, this mentality must be changed to bring improvements real gender equality.
ReplyDelete# Time and time again in the past this statement has been proven wrong that 'men are care givers/nurturers', so, why cling to false idea.
# Showing love & affection for daughters by giving some properties when they are married is understandable but making it a trend or norms in society is bad. Dowry must banned.
# In the most cases, pretext of keeping the family name, sons are preferred over daughters. The world is changing, so dogmatic ideas also must be changed.
# Menstruation is a part and parcel of woman, It is natural, and we must not add wrong perceptions. There should not be any false teaching.
From the very early age sons were given higher status and more importance than the girls .These have to be changed because it created discrimination between girls and boys although the girls has equal rights according to the Indian constitution.
ReplyDeleteIn my point of view this kind of practices and ideas should be change immediately as now a days girls are not lacking behind in any field whether it may be sports , arts etc.They can do both household chores and in her profession .
ReplyDeleteThese mentioned instructions/ideas and practices are orthodox in nature and should be replaced.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage of girls should be avoided and we should condemn dowry system.If we dont stop these it can lead to girls suffer emotionally,socially etc
Discrimination at the basis of gender must be stopped.
It is high time that we change these practices and treat everyone equally so to create a good society and strong nation both socially and economically
In this modern days media's like electronic or print media's plays important role to define the gender equality.It should not be focused on either men or women only
ReplyDeleteThis ideas and practices required to change because it's seems discrimination between boys and girls. Boys dominate the girls, so girls are not able to do their own desires according to their needs.
ReplyDeleteUnder Indian succession laws a son has a right in his father's and grandfather's property by birth the son has equal rights as does his father in his grandfather ancestral.
ReplyDeleteThis practices required to change because it's practices discrimination between boys and girls and boys dominate the girls.
Should give equal opportunities to girls social changes will bring drastic changes for girls in the society.
all these ideas and practices need to be change because it makes stereotype between men and women in our society and sometimes women faced low self steem because of this practices.
ReplyDeleteall these ideas and practices need to be change because it makes stereotype between men and women in our society and sometimes women faced low self esteem because of these ideas and practices.
ReplyDeleteGender discrimination continues in every aspect in our society ,like right in fathers property, early marriage of girls, dowry system, menstrual taboos and myths etc.In this society girl child treated low profile than compared to boys.Its negativity influence girls right to education,health and protection. Ending girls marriage requires work across all sector at all levels.Using an empowerment approach can lead to positive outcomes for girls or helping them to forge their own pathway in life.Mensturation is a phenomenon unique to girls but it surrounded by taboos and myths aspect of socio-cultural life.The challenge of addressing and belief further compounded by the low girls knowledge level and their hhealth.Unless they themselves choose to fight for their right things won't change fast enough. Parents have to take change and break these taboos
ReplyDeleteThe stereotype practices need to change as it discriminates between boys and girls. Socially girls are looking inferior in olden days,but now a days women can not lacking behind .Societies should focus such type of stereotypes practice, it should be need to change drastically in this 21st century. In my opinion, girl are non permanent members of th.e family because after marriage, they settled life with their husband, kin and kids,only relations remain with family.
ReplyDeleteCertain institution/ideas and practices required to be change because now a days old beliefs and myths are not applicable, we should treat boys and girls equally, in some fields girls are doing much better than boys, if girls are more capable then give opportunities to girls without discrimination, legal heirs of family property should be share equally to boys and girls of a family, totally ban on dowry system and early marriage of girls. Girls should be treat as permanent member of family even after her marriage. All the practises which discriminate between boys and girls require to be change.
ReplyDeleteGender inequality is still a huge issue today .where males are considered as superior to females .woman had to fight a lot for this . gender discrimination is human right issue that should be stopped and give equal opportunity to men and women..
ReplyDeleteThe notion of inheritance of property only to the sons should be changed as daughters of the family are equally important and have the right to property .
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage of girls should not be practiced by force because it is their right to choose whenever they want to get married, also they are not able to take care of their family and they might not be able to adjust in the new family in young age.
In India, women are supposed to stay in homes and men are considered to be the 'providers' of the family. Women also take care of everything and they nurture their child since their birth .
Dowry has been an age old system in India. However it is not a good practice and should be abolished completely as it pressurizes the girl's family and sometimes poor families may even might end up in debt.
Sons and daughters should be equally treated in the family . There should be gender equality. Both of them have the equal responsibilities for taking care of the family .
Taboos and myths regarding menstrual cycle of girls and women in India is that they are considered as impure during that period. Such taboos should be changed as this is a natural phenomenon for women. This topic shouldn't be avoided and everyone should be aware about it. Society should take rightful steps to create a safe space for the women, the even men, to talk upon this topic.
Girls are equally independent and the the restriction on their physical mobility is due to the fears of the parents. Boys starting from their childhood should be educated about how to treat women. Families should understand that girls have the right to develop on their own.
In India, girls are considered to be a burden in the family who are set free after their marriage. They are seen as someone who are non permanent. This should be changed as they are also the part and parcel of the family that they belong to.

Discrimination affects many aspects in the lives of women from career development and progress to mental health disorders. Both the sex should enjoy the same rights, resources, opportunities and protection. So all these highly discriminated practices should be changed.
ReplyDeleteStereotypes society must be driven away,this is all round reason which make our society a insecure and slow down our development.every individual and societies must change their way of thinking that females are no more less than male.so they must be as equal

ReplyDeleteDiscrimination seems has slowed our progress as a society which would have been modern and progressive since we have been a very learned lot .People all over the world admire us and our gurus .Since women were left out because of prejudices and discrimination they could not bring about a society which could be a torch bearer for the world. Girls were not educated neither did they enjoy the power to be independent and be on their own.
All these activities affects our mental,physical and social life as well as the development of the nation,specially in the lives girls.girls have fundamental right to live independently in the society without any restrictions. all these ill activities and practices should be eliminate from the society and we have to reconstruct our mental state and give equal preference to girls.
ReplyDeleteChild marriage violates the rights of children and has widespread and long term consequences for child bridges and child grooms.
ReplyDeleteSocial norms are in the mind,peoples beliefs are shaped by their experience of other people's actions and manifestations of approval and disapproval.
ReplyDeleteIn this modern age gender in equality is is still a huge issue where our society considered males are superior to females. But, this is totally wrong ,in my point of view all these practices must be stopped. we should realised our self that male and female are equal in all aspects except biological difference .But the demand of the time is to make a change in the mindset of the society is that there is no inequality between male and female.
ReplyDeleteGender discrimination continues in every aspects.every society much changes their way of thinking .They should give equal opportunities to girls .
ReplyDeleteIn today's world both girls and boys are equal.
In the modern age both boys and girls can be heirs to the family property. Early marriage /practice of dowry ends a girls childhood.It must be changed to bring improvement in the society.workwise whoever is more capable preference should be given.Menstrual taboos and myths should be avoided. Equal rights and opportunities for girls and boys help all children fulfil their needs. Even after marriage girls should never consider as outsider as they are our own.
ReplyDeleteGirls are equally independent and the the restriction on their physical mobility is due to the fears of the parents. Gender inequality is still a huge issue today .where males are considered as superior to females
ReplyDeleteSons and daughters should be equally treated in the family . There should be gender equality. Both of them have the equal responsibilities for taking care of the family .
Sons are regarded legal heirs of the family property but in this modern age we should not encourage mal- practices like early marriage or child marriage of girls,dowry system, restriction of physical movement. Girls are more caring in the family. So girls can be legal heirs of family property and permanent member of the family.
ReplyDeleteStereotypes society must be driven away this is all round reason which make our society a insecure and slow down our development Every individual and societies must be change their way of thinking that female are no more less than male. So they must be get equal status.
ReplyDeleteIn this modern age/times anybody can be heir to the family property be it boys or girls, early marriage /dowry for girls should not be encouraged. Work wise whoever is more capable/hardworking preference should be given,.menstrual myths/taboos should be avoided. About restrictions of going out both boys and girls should be taken into equal consideration. Even after marriages girls should never be considered as outsiders as they are our own. We should never consider that girls are inferior to boys
ReplyDeleteAll of these have to changed because it created a discrimination between girls and boys.although girls has a equal rights to perceived every aspect of equality in family and society.

ReplyDeleteNow a days both the sons and daughters are legal heirs of theirs parents property. Practice of dowry is the main cause which works as a speed breaker on the way of education of girls for which society as well as government has done nothing.
ReplyDeleteSome statements needs to be changed as since the world is developing rapidly hence narrow minded people must stop doing prejudice and stereotype on the basis of gender. As why only sons should get the legal authority heir of ones family property although daughters were also born and brought up with the same consideration and concern. Along with many girls mainly in rural areas are married at a very early age right after schooling which needs to be stopped because every girl has the right to educate and become independent.practicising of dowry is huge crime but back then it was a very important ritual. Women aren't something which could be buyed and selled with a specific amount of money.menstrual taboos and myths are woven in the minds of people that a particular place becomes impure if a girl on her period stays there. Many of the girls are doubted on their physical capabilities thus also are not allowed for any physical mobility
ReplyDeleteIn this modern age this type of thinking n practice should not be followed . Boys n girls have the same rights n should be treated equally.
ReplyDeletePresent time not only for boys also girls are higher legal property. So there are no difference beetween boys and girls. Boys and girls are equal . Practice of dowry is the main cause which works as a speed breaker on the way of education of girls for which society as well as government has done nothing.
ReplyDeleteMany laws were made against these social norms and practices. People should change their thinking and behaviour accordingly.
ReplyDeleteCertain ideas/institutions should be change because these ideas shows gender stereotype and discrimination of girls.
ReplyDeleteCertain Institution, Ideas and practices must be change because our constitution has given equal rights to both Male and female, but in many field we can see Male domination society. This is happening due to Illiteracy and ignorance. All this have to change such type of practices.
ReplyDeleteR. Tsering.
Many laws were made against these social norms and practices, but still it practices in our society.
ReplyDeleteWe are all influeced by gender. Gender norms or rules tell us what is appropriate for girls and for boys,women and men to do in our society.Because of gender stereotype,girls and women are after less valued and have lower social status.now we living in 21st century.we must be stopped at the earliest.
ReplyDeleteEverybody should change their way of thinking. Every society should give equal opportunities to girls.
ReplyDeleteMany laws were against these social practise but it still it prevailed in our society. It can be changed only through the societies.
ReplyDeleteIn modern era, both boys & girls are competitive in every fields.Every parents gave equal pay attention to them. There is no discrimination among gender.The girls are participate in social activists, politics, journalists, games etc. Social evils like child marriage, dowry system, sati system are condemn by the society.
ReplyDeleteThese are some of the practices prevailing in our society which hampers the overall development of girls.we should change these practices as it creates discrimination between a girl and a boy.we should give equal opportunity to girls also.
ReplyDeleteThis certain institutions/ideas and practice required to change because it's seems discrimination between girls and boys. In this modern age anybody can be heir to the family property be it boys or girls, early marriage/dowry for girls should not be encouraged. Preference of work should be given to whoso ever is capable of the work. Belief on myth and taboos should be avoided on work place. Restrictions on going out should be taken into consideration by the capability and maturation of the children. Both of the children either boy or girl should be equal even after marriage. We should never consider that girls are inferior to boys and judge them equally.
ReplyDeleteNow we are living in 21st century .so there should not be discriminate among children whether boy or girl every child should give equal share and attention . The gender discrimination prevailing should be driven out .
ReplyDelete-- R. Tsering
All these institutions/ ideas/ practices mentioned above need to change because these are creating more and more gender disparities and thereby making women always feel inferior and unaccepted in the male dominated society.Todays women are equally good and capable of doing everything in all spheres of life when compared with others . Hence ,these require to change so that women can also stand at par with others in the society.
ReplyDeleteAll of these ideas must be changed as all of these creates
ReplyDeletediscrimination among boys and girls, although girls also have equal rights as per the Indian Constitution.
Gender discrimination continues in every aspect. The need of to make a change in the mindset of the society. Sons are legal heirs of family property and it is equal right to daughter's too. Now a days early marriage of girls doesn't entertain at all. Girls are also oppoes of early marriages.What is required is a converted effort to sensitise the society in erasing this issue of gender inequality. It is high time that every child should be treated equally. That's true that girls are non permanent members of the family but they are very important part of the family which no one can deny.
ReplyDeleteConsidering point no. 1 above, the line is very applicable to patriarchal society. This is mainly for uphold, preserve and save family property from losses and destruction.
ReplyDeleteA person from matriarchal society can termed it wrong which is incorrect actually.
Point no. 2- Early marriage is almost non-prevalent nowadays. It receives criticism from every corner of society and almost eliminated to 100%. It is a crime against female group of society and it needed to be 100% eliminated in coming days.
Point no. 3- Actually, it seems, words misplaced here- 'women for men'. Nurturing works are very specialized by female group.
On other hand, man can be hard workers and good fighters. However, if tried, they can also be good in nurturing and caring.
Point no. 4- Dowry system India received widespread criticisms from various corners because of the failure to fulfill the dream of making a complete family and successful life. Most of the dowry marriages had proven tragic to life of bride or groom. Hence, it should never be practiced again in any marriage in India.
Point no. 5- preference for sons over daughter is a correct choice in a patriarchal society. On the other hand, a matriarchal society choice would be just reverse.
Point no. 6- Menstrual taboos and myths is a no problem activity now. People can use scientific equipments and leave aside difficulties arising out of it.
In this modern scientific age, we must display and practice scientific temperament and outlook cutting across all unscientific and orthodox faiths and believes.
Point no. 7- Restrictions on physical mobility of girls. All people and society are not same everywhere. Different places and regions people think and practice different. But some regions consider it right to control and restrict their movements.
With the changing world, people are becoming aware that girls also needed to be given freeness to play and live free.
Nowadays, even girls are taught the art of self defence and many more
Point no. 8- Girls are non- permanent members of the family- Its often heard, especially. In our country like- India that girls have two homes, they are- 1st is the childhood home where she takes birth. Here, she live for her childhood to adolescence.
2nd home is her in-laws house where she would live the rest of her life. She enters here right after marriage.
Thus, it has rightly been said, girls are non- permanent members of the family.
Thus, in order to live a healthy and prosperous life we must look forward bringing acceptable changes over odd occupations towards a positive direction.
ln this modern time sons or girls will be equally legal heirs of family property .Early time marriage of girls are also due to thinking girls as properties.Girls are non-permanent members of the family.
ReplyDeleteAll these ideas and methods of early concept, that male is legal heirs. In this modern age the female isequally important and responsible in the society. Practicing discrimination between male and female bat habit and try to avoid and promote the society equal rights with male.
ReplyDeleteThese ideas and practices requires to change because such ideas and practices have developed gender stereotype since ages with discriminating girls and raising them feel weaker/inferior than boys.
ReplyDeletefirst of all change is needed in dressing society wont allow girls to wear like boys but majority of crimes against happening to girls due to dressing..the reason telling by public.
ReplyDeleteGender stereotyping is an ethical wrong but when it violates one's rights and discriminates someone then it is a Human Rights violation.
ReplyDeleteAny such ideas, beliefs and thoughts, and any institution encouraging the same, wrongs another mankind and hampers the harmony of the societies.
In India the lawmakers have tried hard to wrong the right by passing many legislations and to keep the spirit of social equality alive.
1)Property Right- Sons being the heir to family property is no longer a legal right. In Vinita Sharma V/s Rakesh Sharma, the Supreme Court clearly stated that the rights of the daughter flow from their birth and not by other factors such as the existence of the father. Thereby, ensuring the equality of women.
2)Early marriage of girls- Early marriage of girls is the result of entrenched gender inequality. Prohibition of Child Marriage Act 2006 have prohibited early child marriage and imposed punishment for its practice. The central government have also increased the age of marriage for girls from 18 to 21.
3)Men are caregivers/ nurturers- Men may be caregivers and nurturers and if they are then they are looked upon and praised for their effort. However, women are the natural and biological caregiver or nurturer but the work done by women are not recognised as it is considered moral and emotional obligation that a woman is entitled to perform selflessly. 4)Practice of dowry- Dowry is a centuries old tradition that deepens the roots of gender inequality. It is one of the reasons that women are treated like a burden and girl child is unwanted. Though, Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961 prohibits dowry but it is still being practiced.
5)Preference of son over daughter- It has led to the creation of new crime known as female foeticide that has resulted in the decline of girl population. To combat this the government has passed the Preconception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1994 that bans and punishes those involved in prenatal screening and female foeticide. 6)Menstrual taboos and myths- This has excluded women from many aspect of social cultural life as they are considered impure like restriction on the entry of women of menstruating age to the temples like Sabarimala temple. But the supreme court stated that any discrimination on psychological grounds violated the fundamental right as enshrined in the constitution such as the right to equality.
7)Restrictions on physical mobility of girls- Such norms are discriminatory in nature and does not satisfy the equality of life and personal liberty. This creates a barrier for young women to participate in the society and nation building.
8)Girls are non-permanent members of the family- Girls since an early age are made to understand that they are non permanent members of the family and have to leave soon.
Even the society with the least gender inequality problem is not free of inequality and girls and women are bound to experience this in some or other aspect of their life.
The idea that girls are not permanent members of the family should be stopped and every girl child should be praised for their very existence. 'Change should happen from within', so,very girl and women should stop doubting their worth and identity and instead be proud of their gender and educate those who are lagging behind in their thoughts.

All of these have to be changed because, it created a discrimination between girls and boys, although girls has a equal rights to perceived every aspect of equalilty in family and society.

ReplyDeleteSuch social taboos have been carrying forward since time immemorial and need to be change for equality in society. It is a challenge for women ,could be solved if man come forward...
ReplyDeleteIn India,gender discrimination traces its roots in the past. There's a broad distinction between male and female section of the society. They're assigned different works according to their gender. The Indian society has always been portraying male as the true hier of family property. They were expected to work outside and earn for their family whereas the female are portrayed as 'care givers' who were expected to stay at home and carry out household activities. The myth that women are caregivers of the family often to early marriage which led to certain complications and overburdened with responsibilities at an early age. Thus,this made the children to indulge themselves into family raising and responsibilities. Though irrelevant myth and taboos related to women's health has been abolished but yet it's still prevelant in the Indian society. In some parts of India, women are still not allowed to kitchen and religious places during their menstrual cycle. During this period, they're portrayed as 'impure'.Also, women have always witnessed challenges from certain section of the society such as restriction on physical mobility, force on marriage and few others. However, this ill perception has been witnessing a change in India and today women have excelled in every field.

ReplyDeleteEveryone should change their way of thinking and every society need to give equal opportunity to girls .
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThese are some of the practices prevailing in our society which hampers the overall development of girls.we should change these practices as it creates discrimination between a girl and a boy.we should give equal opportunity to girls also.
ReplyDeleteDiscrimination affects many aspects in the lives of women from career development and progress to mental health disorders. Both the sex should enjoy the same rights, resources, opportunities and protection. So all these highly discriminated practices should be changed.
ReplyDeleteIn this era the discrimination over women rapidly ending due to modernity,education,fast influence of Western thought over new generation. Earlier it was a day where society don't allowed the women to enjoy their right as compare to man. The male son were always given the priority in every field as compare to women due to the male always dominated over women and also they were never got the chance to prove themselves but now everything has changed,Women getting equal opportunity to come forward as compare to men and proving herself the women empowerment.
ReplyDeleteAll these malicious practices required to change because it creates gender stereotypes. There should be gender equality. So, we should give equal opportunity to both female and male.
ReplyDeleteEvery child deserves to reach her or his full potential, but gender inequalities in their lives and in the lives of those who care for them hinder this reality.Wherever in India girls and boys see gender inequality in their homes and communities every day – in textbooks, in movies, in the media and among the men and women who provide their care and support.Across India gender inequality results in unequal opportunities, and while it impacts on the lives of both genders, statistically it is girls that are the most disadvantaged.
ReplyDeleteIn some families sons are legal heirs of the property but not the daughters, this should be changed as both are child of same parent and must be given same rights
Early marriage of girls shouldn't be practiced as this doesn't allow the girl child to carry on all the responsibility and also they can't complete their education
In modern world not only men but also female should be able to nurture her family
Practicing dowry must be stopped as in some villages it becomes a tension for the parents to arrange such a huge amount of money the groom demands for, which is why parents don't want to bring up girl child
Preference should not be given to son or daughter....it should be equal so that both cab rise and achieve their desired target
In many of the places mensuration is treated as dirty but it's a normal process which is very necessary for life birth and should not be considered as myth
Restrictions on girls not to move outside discourages them the most and it's 21st century now and this should not prevail yet
Girls being the child of the parent should be treated as the permanent member of the family and should be given same rights as that of the son
In context with the statements cited above,efforts needs to be put to change and wipe out certain stereotype gender based ideas and practices which has been a hindrance in womenfolk's progress since time immemorial.Like stopping child marriage and practice of dowry would prevent violence against women,and give them the space and opportunity to progress equally with the menfolk.Both boy and girl should be a legal heirs of the family property and should be given the right to be a permanent member of the family since they both belong to the family and can do equally good for the family.Gender equality is intrinsically linked to sustainable development and is vital to the realization of human rights for all.And I believe Societies that value men and women as equal are safer and healthier.
ReplyDeleteCertain ideas and practices should change as it leads to discrimination between an opposite gender. It always shows female as a weaker section of the society and male as the stronger section of the society. This concept has been following since time immemorial without any change. Not only an uneducated one but also an educated section of the society also follows these ideas and practices these concepts throughout. Therefore, there should be a change in the mindset of the people who discriminate between an opposite gender. They should know that Sons and Daughters are equal and there's no difference in it despite being different in physical. But physically different doesn't mean that they are weak. Now a days, Girls are also becoming more stronger than boys in different ways i.e. physically and mentally. A daughter can also be an heir and it isn't necessary that they should get married early. They can also take the responsibility of the family. About the menstruation, it isn't a taboo at all. It concerns hygiene and is not a purity issue. People need to know that menstrual blood is not impure. It is just like blood from any other part of the body. So people should know of it. Even a woman in larger section doesn't know at all that it isn't impure. About the preference of boys over girls, it can only be changed if a girl is given a chance to show her strength. Thus, a change ofmind and chance to a girl child can change everything. THANK YOU.
ReplyDeleteThese ideas n practices should get changed because women have equal rights as compare to men. These things get changed only when every person change their mind about these socially constructed practices.
ReplyDeleteThese statements are all related to gender discrimination. Indian has become a platform for these discrimination from a very long time. But now, these ideas require a change for the development, as well as benefit for the nation. Swami Vivekananda once said, 'The best thermometer to the progress of a nation is its treatment of its women '.Thus, the countries where women are without any discrimination would cherish.
ReplyDeleteEvery child deserves to reach her or his full potential,but gender inequalities in their lives and in the lives of those who care for them hinder this reality.In India girls and boys experience greater freedom,girls tend to face extensive limitations on their ability to move freely and to make decisions affecting their work,education,marriage and social realtionship.Educating the children from an early age about the importance of gender equality could be a meaningful start in that direction.
ReplyDeleteCertain institution / ideas and practices require to change because its created a discrimination between boys and girls. In our Indian Constitution law equal rights for both boys and girls. We should treat equal to both the genders are equally important for the society.
ReplyDeleteThis certain institution/ideas and practices required to change because it's seems discrimination between boys and girls .so we should give equal opportunities to girls also.

ReplyDeleteDemocracy prevailing in India and India in 21st century should change all of the above points given as it is totally bias and against our great Constitution and full of discrimination towards women.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThe condition of women was deteriorated from the later vedic period. All these practiced we have seen in our society and it is very disturbing too because we can't be bias with anyone because of gender ,every person regardless of their gender has contributed a lot in every sector. On my point of view these practices must be stopped as early as possible because a girl can do anything if she wants and she is not inferior to their male counterparts.
ReplyDeleteIn today's modern world, many things have changed. Now boys and girls are equally capable. They both complete each other. But still some certain norms and practices have not been changed.
ReplyDelete1. It is not necessary sons need to legal heir of a family. E.g- A company run by a father, later can run by a daughter too. If she is capable, she can lead it to better direction and take it to a new level .
2. Early marriage should be banned. As it is illegal, to marry before21. Moreover, every girl has the right to decide about herself. She has the right to decide whom and when to marry.
3.Practice of dowry should be banned. As it hampers the girls family to arrange the dowry n it leads to depression also. Due to this a family feels that a girl child is burden to them. More often it leads to killing of girl child in the worm itself or after the birth of girl child.
4. Man are caregivers/ nurturers. This statement is completely wrong. Nowadays a woman is also nurturers as well caregivers. She handles both her house chores as well as her office works. She equally compete with the man. Howmuch she is tired after her office work but still she comes home and do the house chores. She devotes her time to her family.
5. Girls are non-permanent member of the family. This is wrong statement. Before marriage girls devotes her time, care and love to her family. After marriage she devotes her time, care and love towards her husband's family. Leaving her house and taking care of her husband family is not a easy task for a girl but still she manages to take care of both the family. So a girl should always be welcome by her family members.
6. Why more preferences are given to boys than girls. Today girls can equally compete with the boys.
Girls can play cricket, football too. A parents should equally treat her children N should equally educate their child.
Girls her not lacking behind. E.g- Indira Gandhi she was the prime minister of our country India.
Mary kom, PV sindhu and many more.
6. Menstrual taboos and myths. It is still seen in many parts of our country. As it is natural
Thing but menstruation still it is consider as impure and dirty. The mindset of the people need to be change. If a girl is her on period why people make fun, instead they should help the girl. So better education campaign should be done related to this matters.
In my opinion all of the above statements given are bias, discriminatory and totally stereotype, therefore all of them should be changed for the better and smooth running of all the institutions and society.
ReplyDeleteSome institution and ideas should be change because these all ideas creates a male dominated society which results the backwardness of female discrimination among male and female. The need of the hour is to make a change by sensitising the society in eradicating this issues of gender inequality.
ReplyDeleteGender discrimination continues in every aspect. The need of to make a change in the mindset of the society. Sons are legal heirs of family property and it is equal right to daughter's too. Now a days early marriage of girls doesn't entertain at all.

ReplyDeleteIndian society is man dominated society which must be change. Women/girls are also capable of doing everything in the society but in Indian soceity they are not given freedom to do so.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage must be stop.
# Early marriage of girls are also due to thinking girls as properties, this mentality must be changed to bring improvements real gender equality.
ReplyDelete# Time and time again in the past this statement has been proven wrong that 'men are care givers/nurturers', so, why cling to false idea.
# Showing love & affection for daughters by giving some properties when they are married is understandable but making it a trend or norms in society is bad. Dowry must banned.
# In the most cases, pretext of keeping the family name, sons are preferred over daughters. The world is changing, so dogmatic ideas also must be changed.
# Menstruation is a part and parcel of woman, It is natural, and we must not add wrong perceptions. There should not be any false teaching
# As all such practices and beliefs are socially constructed norms which fundamentally assimilates gender differences in humen society in the course of times.
ReplyDeleteWhere girls and women are projected as inferior subjects deprived of many rights and opportunities to explore ones own potential.
All those practices which establish mens supremacy over a girl in all aspects of life must get neutralised to have batter human society.
Gender discrimination continues in every aspect. The need of the hour is to make a change in the mindset of the society. What is required is a converted effort to sensitise the society in eradicating this issue of gender inequality. It is high time that every child should be treated equally.
ReplyDeleteIn this era of technology the social beliefs doesn't make any senses. Preference should not be practiced by a modern family regarding the heir on property and belongings of the parents, social taboos, permanent member of the family etc. The female / daughters can take care of the old aged parents or members of the family then their male counterparts.
ReplyDeleteSo the social norms and the practices are to be deleted from the society.
Certain institution/ideas and practices require to change because both boys and girls are equal rights.
ReplyDeleteHaving a stereotypic mindset that girls cannot compare with boys or rather they are not equal, are nothing but oldage and primitive thinking of the society and has to be changed as soon as possible..
ReplyDeleteEvery institution should make sure that no gender differences are being taught in classroom atmosphere.in this modern era girls are no different then boys and in this modern society girls are no inferior than male counterpart.
ReplyDeleteWe come across various menstrual myths and taboos of female in the society.At the time of menstrual cycle females are kept isolated and not allowed to participation in social activities that could probably led to decrease in the efficiency level.
ReplyDeleteThere are certain ideas, practices and false ideologies that should be put to end in these matters modern society.allbthis begin inbthe classroom setup so as educator we needbto realise and sort the gender biased streotype treatment in the school and induce it in students.girls are no more different that boys counter.
ReplyDeleteSome institution and ideas should be change because these all ideas creates a male dominated society which results the backwardness of female discrimination among male and female. The need of the hour is to make a change by sensitising the society in eradicating this issues of gender inequality .
ReplyDeleteIn today's world anybody i.e. son and daughter could be the heirs of family property. Let the daughters decide their marriage age. Restrictions and taboos should be abolished.
ReplyDeleteAll of these ideas must be changed as all of these creates discrimination among boys and girls, although girls also have equal rights to perceived every aspect of equality in family and society
ReplyDeleteGender integrated system is essential from primary level to change the irregular mindset of the present socity.we may sow seeds now and their fruits are useful for future generation.All are capable for every kind of activity.
ReplyDeleteThe Indian constitution provides equal rights and privileges for both men and women but still majority of women doesn't enjoy these rights and opportunities guaranteed to them. Gender inequality has been a social issue in India for centuries. It is a known fact that discrimination starts from even before the girl child is born. Because of dowry system, most Indian families consider girls as a burden. If we want girls to be able to complete education we have to end child marriage. We must take initiatives against the act of female foeticide and child marriage. Even today, during menstruation, girls and women are not allowed to enter the temple or touch anything related to God. In some parts they are not allowed to enter the kitchen. Restrictions on physical mobility of women are imposed as women are treated less powerful in strength than man. The need of the hour is to make a change in the mindset of the society and destroy all the above mentioned prejudices that damage the future of the girl child.
ReplyDeleteAll these practice have to be changed because these practices create a descrimination and encourage gender descrimination between the girl child and boy
ReplyDeleteFrom the ancient time sons were considered as legal heirs af family property but in the mordern age a little bit change should be made between sons and daughters .In respect to early marriage of girls,a strict bill should be amended in the parliament to avoid early marriage. For this , a mandatory laws should be made from the grassroot level. panchayat leader/Gaonburas should be asked to maintain a record for every marriage.otherwise it will be unsuccesful.To avoid dowry practice in india,a vigilance committee should be formed to see the practice of dowry.The person found practing this dowry should be put behind the bar or fined double amount of the dowry.sons and daughters should be treated equally.The sharing of properties among the daughters and sons are commonly seen in some parts of the country, which are very good steps.
ReplyDeleteI belong to a tribal community in which gender differences is not so much prevalent. Stereotype activities which were practiced less in our society and Bias and prejudice remains an age old tradition now. We all are living today in a modern world in which both the boys and girls are getting equal treatment in all gbe aspects. Our society has some early traits but everything is changing in todays society. Early marriage and dowry practices have been abolished and are thought to be and age old practices. The parents of both the girl and boy are encouraging independent living and helping their sons and daughters to reach out for jobs and earning. Preference of sons over daughters and physical mobility of girls are abolished. Both the genders are allowed to go out for better education and finding better job perspectives. A myth that girls are non- permanent members of of the family is totally discouraged. They are treated same as the sons and are given equal opportunities to show their capabilities and make themselves or prove themselves to be the best out of them.
ReplyDeleteIn this age of modernization and prosperity , gender inequality and stereotype can't be taken hand in hand. It needs to be abolished and the best opportunity to be provided to girls too.
In this modern day and age,every gender should be treated equally .There should be no gender discrimination.Girls and Boys should be able to heir their parents property.Girls should be allowed equal opportunities like boys,like education.Menstrual taboo should be abolished.Early marriage and dowry should be ended.Girls should be able to work in a job of their choice.The belief that girls are inferior to men is wrong and all of us should know this
ReplyDeleteWe are living in modern democracy wold, therefore, our mentality and thinking should be changed,in regard, we should not take differences between male and female rather we should encourage gender equality.
ReplyDeleteGender inequalities in many aspecrs should be changed.the indian constitution grants men and women equal rights.according to their rigths boys and girls should be equal rights in the society.both the sons and girls will be equal legal heirs of family property .the practice of dowry system and early marriage of girls should be avoided and should not prefer boy than girl.if we do not bring changes of gender discrimination in time then it wil affects many aspects in the life of woman from career development and progress to physical and mental health disorder .
ReplyDeleteWe are all humans and to discriminate on the basis of onces sex is not justifiable. It is not always important to give legal hairs of family property to sons only daughters too should have equal right in share of family property. Some of the social evil like child marriage, practice of dowry, preference of son over daughter which is still prevelent in certain sections of society which is need to be uprooted to empower women and to give them right to live a dignified life of their choice.
ReplyDeleteAll these practice have to be changed because these who create a descrimination between the girl child and boy.
ReplyDeleteWe are living in a modern complex sociey,we should we should establish equal oppportunity for all i,e irrespective of male and female , caste.we should abolish child marriage ,dowry system and we should encourage equal oppportunity to female child.In this way,we can bring changes in the sociey as well as in the institution.
ReplyDeleteOur lndian Constitution guarantee equal right to both male and females. But gender discrimination continues in every aspects. These practices creates discrimination between a male and females especially in the lives of females. Now a days both the sons and daughters are legal heirs of their parents property.
ReplyDeleteStereotypes activities which were practiced in our society.Now a days modern world in which both Male and female should get equal rights.So we people must change all these types of societies.
ReplyDeleteSince time immemorial gender inequality has been prevailing in our Indian society.The need of the hour is to change our perspective and treatment towards a girl child.Gone are those days when women were just restricted to kitchen duties.we had come a long way from these and women of today are at par with men in almost all fields.so why should girls be deprived of all those facilities which boys have been reaping.we must shun these practises and beliefs and pave way for a better tomorrow for our daughters.
ReplyDeleteOne or the other practices stated above prevail in all the societies. We see all these happening around us, sometimes participating and other times being mere spectators. The solution to all these practices is to try and educate everyone accordingly. System of education should be such.
ReplyDeleteThese social norms and taboos must banned in our society.these all norms and taboos badly affected on girls child and women rights.these taboos effect school attendance, economic participation etc.these beliefs have many harmful consequences on women and young girls these norms discriminate female race...
ReplyDeleteThese practices show the patriarchal mindset of our society. Many laws and rules have been made to change such conservative practices and institutions but they have not been very effective. Such practices are discriminatory against women, and negatively affect their mental and physical well-being, and their economic and social life. We need change so that women can achieve justice and equality, which, in turn, benefits the society as a whole. Family-members and teachers can play an important role in this process by spreading awareness about social evils and about what needs to be changed to eliminate them.
ReplyDeleteAll of these ideas must be changed,it creates discrimination among boys and girls. We should give equal opportunity to girls also.
ReplyDeleteSince from early time, the Indian societies are male dominating and patriarchal in nature to till date. If we really want an equality in both male and female then we should change our mindset. Sometimes in our daily life we came across a line that is ladies first.It means that it is the responsibility of every male to respect female with due care . Every male should treat female not his inferior rather he should feel it as his counterparts. In this modern era of 21st century we should not think that girls child born is a curse paraya dhan, etc. Like a responsible citizen of the nation we should treat boys and girls equal in every respect. Moreover the law of the soil also accepted the equality of female with male along with the Constitution of our country. We should keep our tradition and custom but it may modified accordingly with needs of society and time.
ReplyDeleteThe Indian constitution guarantee equal rights to both male and females. Even though it has been guaranteed, the ideas and practices are still the same like back in old days where bias and prejudice among boys and girls were prevailed.
ReplyDeleteThe following statement given above clearly symbolises inequality of female over male.
We need change so that women can achieve justice and equality, which, in turn, benefits the society as a whole. Family-members and teachers can play an important role in this process by spreading awareness about social evils and about what needs to be changed to eliminate them.
Gender equality is a fundamental human rights.yet despite modernization and progress, women and girls in todays world do not fully experience equal rights and their potential as economic, social and educational? They receive unequal pay for equal work and they continue to be targets of physical and sexual abuse, brutal crimes such as rapes, dowry deaths and honour killings.
ReplyDeleteThe above mentioned certain institutional ideas and practices according to me are highly discriminatory. Potential women and girls in our society don't fully enjoy many of their rights due to deeply entrenched patriarchal views, norms, traditions and structures. We must not support such discrimination, ideas and educate our society to abolish such negative practices.
According to me in this time maximum states all of these have to change It created discrimination between boys and girls ni this time both boys and girls are equal.
ReplyDeleteAccording to me this time maximum states have to change it created discrimination between boys and girls in this time both boys and girls are equal.
ReplyDeleteIn this modern Era, certain institutions, ideas and development in the society required to be change. There is always a discrimination between male and female child in our society which needs changes mentally, morally, socially and spiritually so that both the male and female child gets equal rights.
ReplyDeleteThis certain institutions/ideas
ReplyDeleteand practices required to change because all this male female discrimination is still adopted in some parts of our country, where the people always get manipulate by the man dominant culture.
All the male and female should be treated equally and respectable.
Indian society is man dominated society which must be change.Women/girls are also capable of doing everything in the society but in Indian society they are not given freedom to do so.Early marriage must be stop.
ReplyDeleteDiscrimination on the basis of gender must be stopped the above mentioned institutions ideas and practices are orthodox in nature and should be replaced immediately.we should realised ourself that Male and female are equal but only in exist in biologically difference female are also play a vital role to make family and society prosperouse.
ReplyDeletewe need to change this stereotype activities. We can provide individuals with the information and knowledge that can cultivate different values behaviours and belief system.From the early age sons were given higher status than girls.These have to be changed because it created discrimination between boys and girls.Although the girs are not lacking behind in any field wether it may be sports, politics, etc.They can do both household chores and in her profession.
ReplyDeleteThe boys are the heirs has to be changed because when this kind of discrimination starts in the family,all the other members also started to look down trodden to the female member of the family .
ReplyDeleteA parents should stop this gender biases to stop all the taboo from the society .
Then only female would enjoy equal status in the so called social norms.
The certain institution/ideas and practices required to change because its seems to discriminate between male and female. In our society still some evil practices on female prevailed. Such practices are child marriage, dowry,menstrual taboos and myths, restriction of physical mobility etc.These have to be changed, because it created discrimination between male and female.The female should be given ample opportunity and equal rights as their male counterpart for change and upliftment of whole society.
ReplyDeleteIn today's era where the girls walk hand-me-downs in -hand With theirs male counterparts and contribute equally in raising a family, considering son as a the only legal heir is disrespectful and demeaning to the daughters. Considering daughters as a non -permanent member and treating her as one can lead to emotional stress and develop a sense of alienation affecting her mental health. Also the stereotypical image of a man as an ineligible caregiver is a fallacy because they can equally provide love and care and in few cases their nurturing skills even surpasses that of a woman.
ReplyDeleteThese stereotypes have been established since a long time and needs to be changed.. they were never true and even less so today. Unless we change the way our society thinks our daughters will always face hurdles in realising their true potential.
ReplyDeleteThese stereotypes which are prevailing in our society has to be changed and it is a real concern to each and every citizen of our country. It prejudices the entire foundation of the nation what our constitutional makers dreamed of, as we all knows that Article 14 gave right to each and every citizen the right of ptopertydespite of gender. Like wise early marriages,practice of Dowry, Menstrual Taboo,restrictions on physical mobility of girls, girls are non-permanent member of the families etc. Which are mentioned above are the Social dogmas which are encouraged due to lack of education and unawareness
ReplyDelete> In my opinion sons as the legal heir of family property is reasonable and aggreable. But it is not necessary that only sons can be the legal heir, it can depend either on the situation or on parents.
ReplyDelete> Early marriage effectively ends a girl childhood, curtails her education. Girls around the world deserve to live full childhoods, go to schools, be free of the violence and negative health consequences associated with child marriage. So, ending early marriage is the smart thing to do.
> Both men and women are equally competent. Women are no inferior to men, they are the real architects of society. Stereotypical thinking about the mens as caregivers, nurturers should put to an end.
> Dowry - an social evil. Dowry system should be stopped as it puts great financial burden on bride's family, also in some cases it leads to crime against women ranging from emotional abuse and injury to even deaths.
> Gender inequality is all over the world, however the basic preference for a male child over a female child is deeply entrenched in India and some other country. There are people who sacrifice daughter for son. Children are a blessing, we should cherish and be grateful whether it's a boy or a girl child.
> Menstruation has always been surrounded by taboos and myths that exclude women from many aspects of social-cultural life. Such taboos about menstruation present in many societies impact girls and womens emotional state, mentality and most importantly health. So, one should understand that menstruation is nothing but a very normal biological phenomenon, and adolescent girls and women should understand that they have the power of procreation only because of this virtue.
> Ending all discrimination against women and girls is not only a basic human rights, it's crucial for sustainable future. Parents and society must understand that giving wings to their daughter can make large positive difference in the society.
> It is clearly a false statement about the girls being non permanent members of the family. Girls are or should always be welcome by their family even after their marriage. They are and will always stay a member of the family.
Let's say no to discrimination towards any gender and make this world more beautiful and lively.
For change to happen,the values and norms which support the practice of early marriage need to shift, working with families and the wider community to raise awareness of the harmful consequences of early marriage can change attitudes and reduce the acceptance among those who make the decision to marry girls as children.
ReplyDeleteDowry is a social evil in the society, that caused un-imaginable torture and crimes towards women.Today,the govt.has come up with many laws and refoms,not only to eradicate the dowry system but also to up lift the status of the girl child.In the computer era ,menstrual is a taboo.Women can't have a open talk about it and its complicatoins.This stima needs to get a fullstop.Also daughters have equal birthright to inherit property.Succession is right for both man and women.
ReplyDeleteIt is a reality that gender disparity still exists in India. It is seen within the households, at workplace and everywhere. Driving a change in the mindset of people is the key to end this discrimination. Our girls deserve equal opportunities as boys
ReplyDeleteA daughter has an equal right as her brother to the father's property. She also has full right over her personal property upon attaining majority.As it has been mentioned in the Constitution of India. "RIGHT TO EQUALITY" for both male and female.
ReplyDelete1. Sons are legal heirs of family property:
ReplyDeleteThis statement is total violation of women's equal rights to property. This discrimination takes away the future security of daughters. Sons or daughters, children should get equal shares of family property.
2. Early marriage of girls should be stopped as it ends girls childhood, force to drop out of schools, physically and mentally not prepared to look after family, hence high risk of domestic violence.
3. Not only men, both men and women are equally responsible for nurturing their children.
4.Dowry has been constitutionally abolished, but this evil practice still exist in Indian society. It is a crime against women. It causes mental and physical torture to women. Need to stop.
5. Preference of sons over daughters may lead to large family size, poor health and infant female mortality due to discrimination in food and health care. So change mentality, treat children equally.
6. Menstrual taboos and myths affect the mental and emotional state, lifestyle and health of girls and women, excludes them from many social and cultural life. Need to educate about this. It is just a regular natural change in female reproductive system.
7. Restrictions on mobility of girls may cause mental health disorder in girls and may lead to school dropouts and early marriage. Should allow them to move, learn and grow.
8. Girls are considered non permanent members of the family due to lack of education and the old cultural belief that girls would move to their husbands home after marriage. This mental setup of family members lead to unequal treatment and discrimination towards girls in every aspects. Need to change this mind set.
So all the above statements are related to gender inequality and discrimination against female children and women which needs to be sensitised to change the mindset and to eradicate this social evil from the society.
As of the early times we know about women have also been considered to be childbearers or household workers. In all the above practices we can see a clear line of gender inequality and discrimination.
ReplyDelete* Sons are given the family property in many families. There are many families with no male child so whom do they make their property inheritors? There should be equality in sharing of property among the children against any gender discrimination.
*Many female girl child are given to marriage at an early age. At this young age many girls have no idea about their reproduction organs functions due to which many of them die at a younger age in the process of childbearing.
*men as caregivers should be normalised as many of the men who in future become single dad have no idea on how to take good care of the child.
*Dowry system has already been banned in India but still practices can be seen. It is like putting monetary value to human relations.
*preference should be equal as women are nowadays capable of doing equal and sometimes greater jobs than the male.
*It is due to the menstrual cycle that the humankind comes into existence. Both the genders should be taught on the menstrual cycle so that we can avoid certain myths and beliefs.
*Rape a common news everyday. Women are mostly taught not to move out of the house at night but isn't it that we should teach males the ability to self control and stop such harmful deed.
*after marriage women are mostly considered to have a new family in her in-laws. In my opinion women's are human as well and can't be marked as a product to have it as a permanent or temporary.
With the cycle of time it becomes greatly required to alter certain institutions,ideas,beliefs and practices that is quite prevalent in the society.The cause behind inferior feelings and emotions of the female is not any other but the gender stereotypes and social discriminations.For many years the society have been believed that the sons are the only legal heir of family property but it is a myth concept and this should be replaced by giving equal privilege to female.Untimely marriage of girls is one of a social sin.Basically this situation helps to create gender stereotype feelings in others so it should be totally discouraged to be in practice.Not only men have able to give care and nurture the family but also women possesses the same ability to look after the family if they be given a chance.Still dowry system is existing in some parts of our country.This system is one of the bad customs and traditions of the female child that hinders overall growth and development.Every parent should provide equal preferences in any activity to their child whether they are a boy or a girl.Mostly girls child are restricted to take part in various religious ceremony because of the menstrual negation.This is misconception and instead of restricting they must allow to share their opinions and experiences with the counterpart.Since our country is democratic all people have equal right to do ,think and move.So no restriction be laid on the physical mobility of girls.I will not accept this notion if situation favours girl child also become permanent members of the family.
ReplyDeleteEqual right and equal opportunity should be given... The bygone dictum "men for field and women for home" was a kind of stereotypical and was accepted universally. But If we want a society to develop in particular and nation as a whole there should Gender equality.
ReplyDelete'Gender Equality' is still a far cry goal for millions of girls and women. Few elite societies do practice the same, but is it practiced in it's truest sense is uncertain. We are all HUMAN and gender cannot determine who gets previlages and who doesn't.
ReplyDelete1. Since both the sons and daughters are equal in the eyes of law so both should have equal rights over their family's property.
ReplyDelete2. Some people still consider that girls are a burden to them and they want their daughters to get married early. In Northeast we never pressurise girls for marriages.
3. Earlier men took the responsibility of being the breadwinner of the family. But now men and women equally take care of their home and each one of them should get equal treatment and respect from society.
4. Practice of Dowry is banned but still it is prevalent in some parts of India. Some parents spend all their lifetime savings for their daughter's marriage and some even take loans for this practice.
5. Some parents prefer sons over daughters because they believe that sons will take care of them when they grow old. But a daughter can also take care of her parents and her home while doing her job.
6. Menstruation is a phenomenon unique to girls. However it has always been surrounded by taboos and myths that exclude women from many aspects of socio-cultural life. Culturally menstruation is still considered to be impure. But with passage of time our understanding has changed and now girls and women go to work even when they are menstruating.
7. A girl's parents are scared to send their daughters outside because they are protective of their daughters. Instead the society needs to educate themselves and change its viewpoint.
8. Although girls, after marriage go to other family but it is not right to say that girls are non-permanent members of the family since they share the same blood as their parents and siblings. And daughters are very reliable when it comes to family than anything else.
Child marriage of girl is a curse for her as well as for the new born baby.She is not mature internally and physically, if she delivers a child ,that child will be weak. So we should follow government norm of 18 years for girl and 21years for boy of marriage.Now a days this wrong practices are eradicating but still it has to eradicated to make this world -paradise.
ReplyDeleteIn this modern day and age, every gender should be treated equally. There should be no gender discrimination. Girls and boys should be able to heir their parents property. Girls should be allowed equal opportunities like boys, like education. Menstrual taboo should be abolished. Early marriage and dowry should be ended. Girls should be able to work in a job of their choice. The belief that girls are inferior to men is wrong and all of us should know.
ReplyDeleteThese are gender based stereotypes prevailing in our society despite many laws( like right to equality, human rights etc)cultural,economical and social reforms.These discriminations against women hamper economic growth and prosperity of the family and society as a whole.To combat these gender biased discrimination we need to recognise the contributions of women to the family and to the society . We need to change our attitude through proper education to accept equality of rights and responsibilities and to over come prejudices and practices based on stereotyped roles.
ReplyDeleteIn this modern world 'change' played a vital role in every fields where change is also needed in social life .....where discrimination still prevails especially amongst the boys & girls as more privileges are giving to boys over girls from their parents.social evils should be discouraged like early marriages & dowry system.Now a days there is equal rights for both boys & girls when availing of education and parent's property is concerned....
ReplyDeleteThese practices are challenged by new generation. It will take time to completely eradicate from our society. Proper education is only the solution for all the problems stated above.
ReplyDeleteThese stereotypes which are prevailing in our society has to be changed and is a real concern to each and every citizen of our country. Unless we change the way our society thinks our daughters will always face hurdles in realising their true potential. In today's era where the girls walk hand-me-down in- hand with their Male counterparts and contribute equally in raising a family, considering son as the only legal heir is disrespectful and demeaning to the daughters. In our society still some evil practices on female prevailed. Such practices are child marriage, dowry, menstrual taboos and myths, restrictions of physical mobility etc. This have to be changed because it created discrimination between males and females. All the males and females sh6 be treated equally and respectable.
ReplyDeleteSons are legal heirs of family property: In Indian custom ,we are generally practicing a patriarchal society.As a result ,sons are treated as legal heirs and they enjoy and inherited the family property.But, daughters are being deprived from enjoying all these after marriage.This is a case of social discrimination against women or reinforces gender stereotype.May it be a son or daughter they deserved equal treatment.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage of girls : may be because of ignorance,illiteracy or age old social system ,daughters are treated as a burden and proper educating is not given to them..Rather, they arrange marriage for their daughter in early age.Wherein ,they are not mentally,physically or emotionally matured enough for marriage.Rather at this stage they need basic support for their growth and personal development.This is bias on girl child and need to change this mindset or system in the society.
Men are caregivers/nurturers : a caregivers is someone who is responsible for looking after another person paid or unpaid.lt is a fact a that, as the number of seniors continue to increase,male are also needed to support and care for their parent ,spouse and family members.In our male dominant society ,mostly women are engaged as caregivers.Our society treated them to be borne for that job and they are doing this job since they grown up .This a discrimination on women.
Practice of Dowry: Dowry is the giving of gifts or money to a groom on behalf of the bride's family.It is a common practice in Indian marital system ,which dates back to centuries.Although Dowry is banned ,there is still a lots of families which follow the custom.In greed of money and it's ill effect leads to dowry related violence and abuse,bride burning,wife murder and female infoeticide.This need to be introspect that,how does having a boy differ from giving birth to a girl?.
Preference of son over daughter : Parent's prefer for a son is a well known phenomena.They belief that a girl is liability and they will have to invest their hard earned money to give dowry during the marriage of their daughter. They also don't give any importance to educate them.On the other hand, they belief that ,a boy will take the family's name forward and look after them in their old age.Today we are living in a revolutionised world.However,we continue to live in a world in a heavy bias against a girl child.Our society is yet to come to term with these changes.
Menstrual taboos and myths: The menstruation is a normal process which occurs in a healthy female body.The beginning of the menstruation cycle brings in physiological change in the life of the adolescent girl.Yet, it is surrounded in secrecy.Because of prevailing myths ,misconception and taboos around menstrual women and girls are excluded from many educational,social and cultural life during their menstrual period.But ,imposed of taboos to women during this period in totality is a biasness.lf the hygienic means are taken care of there is no harm in participation of women in educational and in certain social and cultural life during this period.
Restrictions on physical mobility of girls: The restrictions in physical mobility of girls is started early in life owing to socio-cultural norms.Because of defined gender roles ,it is believed that a woman should be with the children,while the man goes doing business.Further more ,in our country ,social violence against women discourages girls from going to school or owning business and inadvertently deter women economic empowerment.
Girls are non-permanent members of the family : The notion girls are non-permanent members of the family implies that ,in our Indian society ,once a girl get married ,she goes to an another family.Thus, the bride moving to the in-laws house and became the new member of the family .
Gender Equality' is still a far cry goal for many girls and women. Equal right and equal opportunity should be given to them. In this modern age anybody can be heir to the family property be it boys or girls, early marriage and dowry system should not be encouraged. .
ReplyDeletewhoever is more capable preference should be given for that work,.menstrual myths/taboos should be avoided. About restrictions of going out both boys and girls should be taken into equal consideration. Even after marriages girls should never be considered as outsiders as they are our own inseparable family beloveds. We should never consider that girls are inferior to boys.
In Indian society, born as girl has face gender discrimination at all levels. But we should stop the perpetuation of gender inequality.
ReplyDeleteGenerally in Indian society boys are the legal heirs of family property but we should discourage this type of discrimination. We should give the daughter to have equal rights in property. Early marriage is causes due to poverty or lack of sexual education, it can be prevent by giving knowledge the affect of early marriage in life. Women are the majority of caregivers/nurtures of the family, in this modern age men are also caregivers/nurturers. Dowry effect badly in society such as violence and abuse, wife murder etc. So we discourage the practice of giving and taking of dowry. Daughter are more care/understanding of her family compare to sons, so preference should be given for their work. Menstruation is considered as dirty and impure so women are not allowed in ritual. This kind of orthodox should be discouraged. Restrictions on girls is discrimination of freedom of movement. Non - permanent it means her real place belong with her in laws and she is just a guest at her parent's place. We always show our love and affection towards her.
In the modern world or society, girls are not so far behind in the comparison of boys in any area or field ,they have all the abilities which a boy can do. But still we have an ancient idea that their position in the family is within the four walls and they are caretakers of family and having duties to cook food and take care of their babies only. Many instructions /ideas conventional practices,traditions, customs and superstition promotes the gender stereotype and inequality among boys and girls.
ReplyDeleteSons are legal heir of family property, it must be changed as daughters can not be deprived of their right of equality. Succession act 1956 cenfer the status of coparcener on the daughter born before or after ammendment in the same manner as a son with the same rights and liabilities.
Men are caregivers /nurtures, it was applicable and somewhere true in ancient society but now a days women are not for cooking and taking care of theirbabies, they are working outside and more than men. They are physically and mentally strong, rough and tough like men, so why not women act as caregivers and nurtures.
The dowry system can put great financial burden on the bride's family, in some cases the dowry system leads to crime against women, ranging from emotional abuse and injury even death. Sex selective abortions, negligence towards daughters, abuse etc. effect safety of women and girls directly due to dowry system. It also makes embalance the sex ratio and lower the status of women. Many laws are there against dowry like section 498A IPC.
As the girls are now literate, self-dependent and earn money not only for them but also for their other members of family, the dowry system must be banned for the future betterment of girls.
Preference of sons over daughter promotesand encourage gender inequality. Due to this old and traditional practice or idea daughters feel inferior and think they are outsiders (Paraya Dhan,it is motivated by economic, social and emotional desires and norms that favour males and makes female less desire. So this idea also be immediately changed.
Cultural norms and religion taboos and myths on menstrution are often compounded by traditions with evils, spirits, shame and embarrassment sexual reproduction. It is a phenomenon unique to girls but it is surrounded by taboos and myths that exclude women from many aspects of socio-cultural life. These taboos and myths impact badly on girls and women 's emotional state, mentality and life style and most importantly health , so this idea should immediately be changed.
Restrictions on girls liberty to move freely in public places contribute to school dropout and early marriage and negatively affect girls health and wellbeing from adolescence, so the girls should be immediately be free from such type of restrictions. Girls are non permanent members of the family, this thinking is based on the fact that they will get married, so they are not permanent members of the family. But this idea is completely wrong and should be rejected by the society as the girls have equal rights on the property legally and can not be deprived of their right of equality.
Last but not least, I would like to say that the girls or women are important part of our families or society, we can not ignore them and such types of traditional ideas, restrictions, taboos, myths, discrimination, inequality and other negative thoughts regarding girls or woman affect badly on their dignity, emotions, beliefs and mental and physical health. They must be repected every where and every time. The mentality of male dominated society about female must be changed.
Every society must change their way of thinking. They should give equal opportunities to girls.social changes will bring drastic changes for girls in the society.women must get respect everywhere.
ReplyDeleteIn the past people practiced stereotyped activities, believed on nature and superstition. They believe blindly on heredity social evil practices because they are innocent. But in this modern era everybody know how to read and write, what is right and wrong, peace happy ,good and bad and else. Everyone need personal, social and community development for better and happy life. And also we know the importance of social justice,gender equality, legal right irrespective of sex, caste, create and religion. Even than intentionally some community of the society encourage social discrimination and practice social evils like Dowry , early child marriage, sons are only legal heir of family property, restriction on physical mobility of girls and girls are non permanent member of the family and so on are causes of suffers the personal as well as alround development of society and the country. The government has been banned by law for such evil practices, but with the government we people also have to worry about these and need to changes by taking necessary steps against the violators
ReplyDeleteCertain ideas and practices required to change because it reflect and reinforce gender stereotype.
ReplyDeleteIn this modern time stereotype practices must be stopped because it created discrimination among boys and girls. We should give equal opportunity to girls. We should never consider girls are inferior to boys because-today womens are equally capable of doing everything compared to man in any field
ReplyDeleteEvery society must change their way of thinking they should give equal opportunity to both girls and boys.
ReplyDeleteArt helps children to explore and reveal their inner talent. They are able to express their feelings and show creativity.
ReplyDeleteAccording to me this institutions /ideas and practices required to be change.
ReplyDeleteIn olden days,due to lack of education and social development,Boys were considered as superior to girls.This unhealthy trend continues till today in the minds of various narrow minded individuals.Now,whole world is changing rapidly.Girls are far better than their counterparts,they can compete in various fields like education,games and sports,politics,literature,scientific inventions,and so on.we should give equal opportunities to girls.our social outlook also needs to be changed.No one is inferior. One who thinks such discrimination is a foolish person with a sick mind.
ReplyDeleteWe can provide individuals with the information and knowledge that can cultivate different values behaviors and belief systems. Genders norms are transferred and reinforced through communication, much of which happens informally within families and among peer groups in the wider community or through schools, religious organization, government policies, and media
ReplyDeleteFrom the very early age son were given higher status and more important than the girls. These have to be changed because it created discrimination between girls and boys although the girls has equal rights according to the Indian constitution.
ReplyDeleteStereotype activities are practiced in many societies. All of these have to be changed because it creates a discrimination between girls and boys .although girls has a equal rights to perceived every aspects of equality in family and society.
ReplyDeleteThe various able practiceses on demake privaile in the society are the practice of dowry,child marriage, female infanticide, menstrual taboos and myths,restriction of physical mobility etc.Female's contribution towards making socila structures was over look.At the time of bith they are been killed in the mothers wombs which we called femine infanticide
