    All Females Are Not Good Drivers Analysis

    According to statistics, approximately 6.5 million car crashes occur when both of the drivers are females. Though not always are the statistics shown accurate, we still believe in them and change our thoughts accordingly. There are still many stereotypes that show the inequality between woman and men and a stereotype is a fixed thought or idea or a wrong image of a particular type of group or thing. For this situation, the stereotype is that all females are not good drivers. Drivers License agencies, the government and the society still believes in the thought of woman are not good drivers.

    As these problems centre round the basic problem of inequality, steps should be taken to promote equality of treatment and the full integration of woman in the total development efforts of the country. Woman should get equal pay for the same work, and she be treated as an equal partner in the task of strengthening world peace. Suitable steps should be taken to secure these ends. These are near unanimity on the urgency and signifi rise of democracy, the movement for the emancipation of woman has gained ground all the over. In some western countries woman have more rights than in India. But still every where even in the most advanced countries of the world, they suffer from a number of disabilities and are regarded a social inferiors of man. It is a man-made society and man continues to dominate and exploit woman.

    In conclusion, Gender Inequality is a very big deal in India, and what I’ve written so far doesn’t even scratch the surface gender inequality problems in India, everyday there are new reports of women getting killed just because they are women. India could help end gender inequality by passing laws that make it easier for women to get jobs in the workplace, and it would also help if people remembered that women are people, not objects designed to please men.…

    The Changing Role of Women in India

    The Changing Role of Women in India

    Women in India are beginning to follow the direction that the women of the Western world took more than eighty years ago; demanding treatment as human equals. However, it has become more and more evident as the revolution ages that Indian women may have to adapt the Western feminist method to their very traditional and religious culture. India has different complications that put the development of women in a completely altered context than their Western counterparts. Although the key targets remain similar: improvement of health care, education and job opportunities in order to gain equality between men and women in the various settings of public society, the workplace, the school yard and – possibly the most fundamental setting of all – the home. Women are striving to be independent on the equal level of men. The additional complexities that the women of India must also challenge are the caste system, the heavy religious customs, older and more traditional roles of the sexes, as well as the even stronger power that men hold in India. The status was at one time accepted, but with the Western women’s revolution and perception, the role is slowly succeeding in its development through both independent groups of women and national and worldwide organizations based on the goal of gaining equality. They have all accomplished much, but have yet to overthrow the male dominated society.…

    Gender Favourtism in Wages in Rural India

    Payment of Wages in India has been protected by various legislations. However, the gender disparity with regard to wages has not yet been bridged. Gender discrimination with regard to wages is an acknowledged fact in India. The details by NSSO reflect this favourtism clearly where, on an average, a woman’s daily wage is Rs.20 less than that of a man, though both work equal hours. In the case of daily salary, the difference is of Rs.50. Children are even more exploited, especially the girl child. This biasness overlooks the fact of equal number of hours worked, skill and labour invested by the female section also the practice is directly contrary to the concept of “Social Justice” and the policy of “Welfare State” as embedded in our Constitution. The women and children in Rural India are paid as low as Rs.30 and Rs.12 respectively daily irrespective of them being more than 60 per cent of the work force also negating the fact of their hard labour.…

India has the highest road traffic accident rate worldwide with over 140000 deaths annually, beating even China. Every hour nearly 14 lives are lost due to road accidents. Most accidents occur during peak hours considered an ‘unsafe’ or dangerous time due to complex flow pattern of vehicular traffic. Thus traffic engineers have to undertake a big responsibility of providing safe traffic movements to the road users and ensure their safety. Road accidents cannot be totally prevented but by suitable traffic engineering and management the accident rate can be reduced to certain extend.…

    Women a Pillar of Development

    Today in the 21st century, women are performing their best roles in every field of life. It is very important that we have to build our nation as strong as we can by providing the opportunities. Development of any nation is not possible without the women. But the gender biasness still exists in our society. It is assumed that women may misuse these opportunities in the name of freedom. Often, it is being heard from the community that they are not willing to let the women go outside for livelihood or be independent. It is the need of the time to clear the concept of the society by gender sensitization. Ladies working outside are not respectable for them as compared to household. Development needs the equal contribution to end the gender biasness.…
