All who want to be concern
Dear anonymous audience:
Hello my name is Juan Panduro and I hope that
anybody who is taking the time to read this is making the choice to listen
because it’s important to try and understand the opinions of everyone else. It’s
no secret that humanity has the tendency to treat others without the respect
that they wish to have themselves and this is due to a number of reasons that
don’t always seem to make sense. Similarly in some ways, women are not always
treated fairy to what society says that is right or wrong because in the moment,
people don’t always complied to what’s right. At the start of any society,
their leaders make rules and patters to how and why people should live their
lives accordingly but that doesn't mean that those rules will always be fair to
everyone and that’s how inequality is created, by the flaws of men that still
have prominent control over all of us. Up to these days, humanity likes to act
like the more we posses of anything the better we are but sometimes that very
idea destroys its boundaries and males us all believe that people lives and
rights have a price.
In our
society we get our information from the news that people gather from all the
regions of the world and normally we believe them but what happens when you
read the media that people make especially for you? then we all just can’t seem
to get enough of it. This method of luring the reader with media that connect
to them is not new, many famous writers have used it to sell their ideas to the
public but now a day’s its used to move and control nations due to the fact
that they make a world where we all live on. Now a day’s many women face the
truth that many of us don’t always pay attention to and its all to the fact
that inequality is still present in our society and doesn't seem to disappear.
In some places around the world it is a custom to pay women less money for
doing the same job that men do while in the other nations like in Saudi Arabia
they tend to force their women to cover their faces because no men outside the
family may see them and if they do they are punished severely. There are more
similar acts around the world but these two surprised me the most mostly
because the people employers who hired women usually find excuses and loop
holes to pay them less that the average man and for that they work twice as
hard to follow the ladder in the world. Some of the society’s in the middle
east tend to follow their extreme belief of women because it’s a custom that’s
been followed for many generations and that is the biggest reason why its very
difficult for women to move forward, their current society.
My family comes from rural town in Mexico and we all
have different views on our equality around the family that contemplates how we
treat each other. In my family we have the custom of letter the girls and women
to choose what they want in life and we never disregard their dreams respectably.
Despite our way of thinking, my family knows that is not always the case
because life tends to work in mysteries ways for everybody and turn us in
different directions. Sometimes in life we are handed out a choice that makes
us give up what we work very hard to get and this goes out for everyone not just
women and we never see it coming. My family knows that this and some women in
my family have had to make important sacrifices in their lives to give and help
others in the situation of our modern society. To the way that things are now,
my family tries to keep a balance in their lives so that they keep doing what
is most important to them and try to complete the what they believe to be their
cause in life.
In our community we all see that nobody is
completely innocent for something and that the equality doesn't always match
the way we all treat each other. We like to think of ourselves as having a
place to belong in our society and that they can never take that away from you
but nobody thinks that sometimes those positions don’t always stand right in
time. I’m saying that people don’t always react well to change and progress
since because they are threatening to destroy the comfort zone that many people
tend to make in their lives. These actions affect women because if we look back
100 years in our history, women weren't allowed to have the same education as men
due to the common believe at the time. Now a day’s women have more freedom but
they are secluded in different and more modern ways than 100 years ago. The
media is very powerful and with it the wrong message about our society can
spread tot eh point were many people start to believe that is normal to treat women
with less respect just because a famous person can do it.
Caring about the topic of equality amongst women is
important and honorable because if we start respecting people with intellect instead
of emotion we would all be more open minded with the results that almost
anybody wants. When a person does the right thing, they show an example that to
others and prove to them and themselves that even against all odds equality is reachable
within us all. Many writers such as Jean Kilbourne who is active in women
movements have shown how today’s society presents negative facts about women
and how its spread without a care in the world. The damage that can be cause
for all this bad information takes long period of time to fix but Kilbourne
wants to first open the eyes of the public to the reality that is the “MEDIA.”
Today it’s not very difficult to display information
in the world, with the invention of the internet, phone and television people can
simply read anything they want at the time of their choosing. However, this doesn't mean that it’s always going to be a good thing because humanity is very impressionable
sometimes and leads having problems with some minorities in society. Men and
women aren't always equal even if we are from the same species but that doesn't mean that we have to like it, the idea of inequality is always there but it’s
up to people to decide what’s right for their society.
The United States is was founded as a free country
but slavery and segregation were active for the majority of its infancy until
the 20th century were the freedom movements open the eyes of many Americans
into seeing the cold truth. Now in the 21st century segregation still exist but not as before since many
people forget that our new segregation is more devious that unfair. To all the distribution
of advertisement by their industries, as Kilbourne has stated that in today’s
world many women are portrayed more like porn stars and they are being push to
do more odd jobs that intellectual carriers which benefits society. Other
countries catch on to this allusive system of oppression and the problem only
escalates in the world. What is normal today can be different in the future since
our opinions change over time but to truly make a difference with the way the opinions
we all posses, it clear that society needs to rethink their view of his
citizens.
What we all view as normal doesn't always seem to be
due to the fact that impression is everything with today’s advertisement
industry which leads all of us in a state of insecurity. When the wrong
impression is shows, people will most likely try to mimic it if the whole world
tells them and in this case people world has become the media that’s we can’t
seem to get away from. It’s important to
show other people that you aren't ruled buy what other people think of you
judging only by outside appearance and be aware that there is a solution to
every problem, it’s just that some problems required the attention of an entire
nation to be fixed. All women in the world deserve equality because they are
the ones who ensure the continuity of mankind for which we should all be
thankful for. If we all treated women as equal as possible there can be more
order in at least our society and many changes can be achieved over time. I am
a man who jus wished to be normal in society, but it’s just not fair to see
that people are mistreated because of their gender and see how much potential
for the human race is wasted to the wind. If drastic actions are required for
this, so be it but I would like to know that the message of equality for all is
alive and well in the people who read this.
Sincerely:
Juan Panduro
