class struggles are still alive

To me i see class struggling today more then it use to because today class struggles today by who ever has access to information, who ever has the better technology, who has a better phone, or car, or who has more people on Facebook. But seriously if you dont have a cell phone then your part of the morns in todays society. When back in the day it was who has more about money, and servants. Today its if u have a connection or access to internet or information then you a better chance of getting a better job or be noticed. For example people get so famous for posting things on Youtube and make money off of blogs people read or having a reality show they can make a living off of living but having people watch it. If you have the most people on facebook then your the coolest person if you don't then your not. so its not so much about money today its more about technology and connection or access to information because you could do so much with information or technology now a days.

men and women are held to different standards

In my opinion women are held to different standards then men because women have a "role"in society i think they play. Most people think women are soft spoken, quiet, cute, pretty, innocent, and men are more macho, loud, dirty, etc. we live in a world of double standards and its also tradtion men are known to be the providers and go out to hunt and do what they do (anything) and women stay home and keep a up with the household. The reason why women are called "sluts" when they sleep around even though men do it too is because women have the POWER of creation GIVING LIFE and suppose to take care or babies. Usually men make the rules up that's why there are these standards, for example in Religion its always Adam and Eve not Eve and Adam. Women are a step down then men because men make these rules up its prejudice against women people that set these standards are men. If women set standards it probably would be the other way around. In my Opinion the word "slut" isnt as common as it use to be i think its fading because really what is a slut? No body can put a definition to that word everyone has a different opinion on that. In other countrys of the world girls are suppose to be virgins before getting married and if she wasnt she would be killed or shamful. Still happens today which is ridiculous because they supoosalbly say if she doesntBLEED then shes not a virgin And her reputation is ruined she is a shame. Howeverrrr Men its acceptable of them to go out and sleep around before marriage or when their married. Its so not fair and it pisses me off i see this in my culture so much and i know it happens in other cultures but mostly in In Islam!! Ugh! I want Islamic women to be on the same level as men I honestly never see this happening. Hopefully one day it will! :)

ANYthing!!

This Blog is about anything i want to talk about. Hmm Im so Glad i have off of work today i'm free to do so much errands and homework today. I still need to Clean my apartment. I hope it doesn't snow too much tonight. I read those poems about those women that was pretty sad poems. Women go through that all the time all around the world we just hear about it as often. Women go through so much in this world. We should be more appreciated. Life is too short people should enjoy their life to the fullest always stay positive and never let anyone put you down. :)

role Of women in American Culture!

I feel that the role of a women in America is always improving because now a days women have more of a responsibility then before when men were more involved. For example women can have any occupation they desire. However in other countries women are not or its looked down upon if they choice something out of the ordinary. I heard this story about a country in the middle east about this women starting to drive a Taxi as an occupation and people were shocked by these and put her on the media there. This women just needs a job maybe needs to make some money and Taxi industry were probably hiring so they were bashing her about this so she decided to quit her job because she wasnt going to take the harsh judgment. This women wasnt doing anything wrong she was working like any of person out there. She was getting cristism from her community and they didn't like the fact that a women can drive a Taxi it was bizarre to them and they did not approve it. its a shame to see this kind of mentality still go on.
When other women from different countries see America and how American women are able to do whatever they deisre to do as an occupation to me that's inspiring to them. For example Hilary Clinton its a inspiration for women in other countries in my opinion. She was running for president. I feel that women in America are playing a great Role we are strong, hardworking and i see most women in America not relying men for everything.
