Theoretical approaches

1. Which of the theoretical approaches do you think explains a women's situation in our society and why? I would have to agree with the Progress Theory. However, saying that progress is made from generation to generation is also misleading. The old saying children live what they learn is too true. Therefore if a female at a young age learns to be submissive and takes that with her into adulthood and never learns the difference, how much can she contribute to the progress needed. Now if every girl broke a cycle and took that information to the next generation, we'd have a true progressive mark on our hands. Women wouldn't be afraid of men and their power, we'd take it from them and know it was ours for the taking. Domestic violence would cease since we'd know we can fight back and take a stand. Oppression of the female gender would be a thing of the past. Low wages wouldn't exist as we'd hold the higher court. What I believe we must do is start now with our children. Show them, not teach them, the right way to be a woman in today's society. Give them the keys to a future and let them rise up above all the negative issues we still hold today.
