Customary Law Ownership and entitlement The Indian customs and cultures are unique and diverse. In India, the law pledges for equality to all of its citizens. However , democracy does not apply to women, where the colonial legacy has contributed to their disinheritance. It is imperative to provide women with their democratic rights through enforcement of various laws such as access to individual resources through customary law. In India, the customary laws are favourable to the women in many tribes, although the property and land sentiment determine their identity (Haokip, 2018). Succession and Inheritance The succession act relates to the law of inheritance and succession in India. Every citizen in India is entitled to an equal share in the inheritance of properties after the death of the property owner. However, the Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and the Sikhs do not follow this constitution since they have their succession laws. There is the introduction of various concepts, for example, the mitakshara law where a daughter gets a smaller share of the parent’s property compared to the son. The gender discrimination and bias…
Prophet Joel’s Vision of Renewal for the Society Part 1 Due to the perpetual sinning of the Israelites and their sufferings in the hands of the Philistines in Sidon who exiled sold them to the Greeks and scattered them to the other countries, God gave Joel a word of redemption to them. Prophet Joel anchored his prophecy of the Day of the Lord, the window of opportunity for redemption that was available, and vengeance of God against nations that oppressed Israel (Watson, 110). Though Prophet Joel starts by painting a grim picture of the impending tragedies that are caused by the locusts, his prophesies are hugely considered as a conduit for restoration. Conditionally, the Israelites were to come before the Lord, denounce their sins and humble themselves before God. The following are ways in which the Kingdom of God will be established on Earth during the Day of the Lord, according to Prophet Joel. First, the Kingdom of God will manifest itself through the plagues that will bring the people back to God and have the Israelites renew their covenant…

The Male Gaze Othering Othering means mentally classifying an individual or a group of individuals as being not part of the ordinary people. Dismissing a person as less human and less worthy of respect and dignity is often easier than always keeping that person in mind as a person capable of having emotions, priorities, reflexes, motivations, ideas, and many other subtle reflexes. In the early days of human civilization, it was significantly important for groups to come together, hence needed joining hands between friends and enemies. Thriving required people to be tightly knit together and look out for each other, as people were likely to belong to the same community, an share the same genes. Benjamin Franklin came up with an experiment which showed that people eventually come to hate the people they treat badly. If a person feels guilty about how they treated someone else, a class or group of people, but can’t reconcile the guilt with their perspective of good people, they tend to cover it by othering the people they feel they have wronged. After making…
Book Report On The Macdonaldization Of Society Ritzer defines McDonaldization as a set of procedures by which the tenets of fast-food restaurants are tending to take control or to dominate many sectors in American society and also the world as a whole. Ritzer develops this concept from rationality or bureaucracy, which is the concept of the theory developed by Weber who was using the model to show the direction being adopted by the fast-changing society. In Weber’s rationalization, the traditional thinking modes are being replaced by a formal formalized and efficient ends analysis. In a bureaucracy, an official organization is being made up of an authority whose structure is hierarchical, made up of labor division and also a set of rules and regulations, as well as encompassing technical competence. In simple terms, McDonaldization can be argued to refer to the situation when a particular society takes up the characteristics reflecting those of a fast-food restaurant. Ritzer views the fast food restaurant represents modern theory or thought pattern. Ritzer explains different areas where the McDonalds model is taking place. Examples…
Life is Like a Gift Introduction The statement of life comparable to a gift involves an obligation to the gift recipient to react with appreciation not considering the particular gifts’ qualities and features. Taking life as a gift means that one is obliged to react in a particular manner and without keenly scrutinizing the real state of the gift. The worth and meaning of a gift don’t come from the size of the, its value or the decorations on it but the feeling you get as the receiver and as the benefactor.

Problems of Justice in Policy Justice refers to giving one what they are due. Its measurements are based on equality, fairness, and desire or any other tool that can be used as criteria for measuring justice. In the nursing field, it concentrates on the access to scarce resource allocation and access to equitable care. Ethical values are a fundamental aspect of any healthcare provider here. They ensure one makes the right decisions over the wrong ones. Ethical values are the worldwide code of conduct that gives a practice the basis the kind of motives, intentions, and actions that are valued. Ethics surrounding healthcare are vital since nurses have to pinpoint healthcare dilemmas, make good decisions, and judgments based on the values they hold and adhere to the laws which govern them at the same time. However, this comes with a lot of problems in policy justice (Baker College, 2007) as evident in the case of a community health nursing agency in Midwestern County. In as much as equitable access to care in nursing is well described, sometimes the nurses who…
Importance of Breastfeeding Infants In the contemporary world, there exists different parenting trends and developments that significantly diverge from the traditional ideals towards breastfeeding and the general raising of the children. Compounded by strong feminist opinions that perceive such acts as ways that the society continues to enslave women, the aspect of breastfeeding remains contentious and thorny. Though multiple scientific studies have highlighted the benefits of breastfeeding to both the mothers and the infant, dissenting voices continue to grow, demanding the abolishment of such practices (Shamir, 2016). Despite the dissenting voices, multiple studies have pointed out that breastfeeding remains the most efficient way of feeding infants. The breast milk also contains antibodies that are essential in enhancing the immune system of the infant as well as the presence of colostrum in the milk at the initial breastfeeding stages that is rich in proteins (Shamir, 2016). However, the opposing voices point out to lack of the bonding and the pain they feel during the act and also grounding their assertions on the tenets of feminism. Therefore, breastfeeding continues to elicit mixed…
The problem I have solved My encounter with an injured feral cat ignited my desire to advocate for animal rights. I came across a feral kitten that had a bad cut on one of its legs. It was a wrecking scenario for me since I care about animals. As such, I caught the animal and decided to help it. However, most people (including my teacher) wanted me to throw the injured animal away. I declined and took the cat to a veterinarian. With a lot of care and patience, I was able to transform the unsociable feral cat to a friendly purring pet. People loved the cat, and he eventually got adopted by a family. This experience sparked hope and belief in me that I could voice for animal rights by pursuing political science. My love and compassion for animals grew stronger, driving me to start a non-governmental organization, the Mongolian Animal Welfare Organization (MAWO). The ultimate goal of MAWO is to advocate for the provision of basic needs to sentient creatures, especially dogs and cats. The organization focuses…
