week 6 dq post 2
All around the world up
to and including in the present females are being killed for any number of
reasons. Some of their killers face some legal consequences, others face none.
The role of females is a
very difficult subject to cover since one of the roles species wide is to while
smiling allow very bad people to kill the object/target. The role for some in
most cultures is to simply be a willing assault, …, …, death victim (Matta Oshima,
Jonson-Reid, & Seay, 2014). It is
very difficult to find cultures which are not geared that way.
France, the UK, America,
Canada, a few others the police must have a string of 3 if not more murder
victims before the perp is considered a threat to the society and labeled a
serial killer. Mass murderers usually have not committed a crime until the
first time they pull the trigger. In those cases, the role of the female is to
be the first 3 victims and or any number of victims to a mass murderer. The role
is to be in effect a sacrificial lamb to build enough evidnece for the police
to justify the “manhunt”. This only applies to three other aspects of humans;
that would be Jews, and of course Africans, and some Latin cultures (Baker, 2008). Where killing them (sometimes females, but just as often
gender is not part of the equation) is the role society needs them to play in
order to arrange for more intense laws. The price of personal freedom is the
number of homeless, prostitutes, etc. the perp’s assault and/ or kill before
the police can violate the “civil rights” of the perpetrator. Which means the
roles for those “prey” of the perpetrators is to be the victim. The society
needs the victims/prey to do their appointed task to carry forward.
Saudi Arabia and 100
other similar cultures routinely kill predominantly females for the crime of
hurting the feelings of the religious/political leaders. Those citizens role in
the society is to be a human sacrifice victim to appease some aspects of the
society to build a stronger unified culture. Since most of the people executed
are females, the role for females in those cultures is to be sacrificed while
the community scream out “god is great” in Arabic (Baker, 1999). But for females
being a victim for the society to purge itself of evil, through execution has
been a huge role since the first languages which can be translated. I study
history, you can hardly throw a rock with your toes in history and not hit
another story where a female is not being ether assaulted and or killed for the
greater glory of god (Khoja-Moolji, 2016).
An unknowable number of examples it is impossible to statistically show being
(role) a sacrificial victim for most if not all human cultures is a role females are forced to play. Right now, in China girl
babies are being dumped in places so that the family can try again for a boy in
order to conform to the 2 kids only per family. Either 2 boys are wanted, and
or a boy and girl. Two girls, one of them has been tossed away by the family.
It has happened enumerable times.
The role of females in
the west is slightly better. Depending on the country and isolated areas some
laws are all, but Arabic based as in it is not all that illegal to kill a
female (Ani, Nnanwube, & Ojakorotu, 2018). The cops might investigate and sometimes not. Other areas
the laws are as strict as the state and feds will allow. Which in some cases
the laws are paper thin, other laws are on the extreme side of strict. but in general,
most females have given roles.
Those roles are wife,
mother, teacher, caregiver, nurse, red light district worker, etc. (Khodabakhshi-Koolaee,
Eftekhari, Falsafinejad, & Sanagoo, 2019).
and those jobs exist
culture wide. Western cultures specifically North Eastern Europe, Central,
western Europe, and of course the UK females have a much wider array of jobs
and roles to play. From Czechoslovakia south till you reach Greece the roles
become closer and closer to that of Arabic cultures. Where females have either
very limited, or no rights at all (Alsaif, Alsowayigh, Alfaraidy, Albayat,
Alshamsi, Aldosary, & Kharoshah, 2013).
Greece has a lot of good
laws for females, and consequently a wider array of roles.
To answer this question,
in all hard reality the list of roles a female can have in western cultures are
varying but rather wide assortment. In the rest of the world the roles are
wife, mother, teacher, caregiver, nurse, red light district worker, assault,
murder victim.
To compare Iran with say
England. Be only a handful of roles in which includes a murder victim, compared
to England most anything you want, only a handful of jobs/roles females are not
allowed to do.
