Karma + The place of women in society

Hi guys,

today we first worked on the notion of "karma" in India and we corrected what you had to do for homework about the famous people and their karma, therefore their possible belonging to such and such a caste. Here is what we said about it:

"to be written by Nathalie"

Then in the 2nd part of the hour, you had to discuss about the condition and the place of women in society: sexism and gender difference. Here is what you have achieved so far. We'll continued next time: 

What is sexism?

- It's a type of discrimination.

- It's about someone who prefers one gender to another and about different treatment.

- It deals with unequal treatment between men and women.

Is sexism still a problem today?

- There are laws in some countries that discriminate against one group of people based on their genders, e.g. the right to vote, the right to work outside the home. 

- There are salary differences.

- Some women don't have access to education.

- There is only a small proportion of women in high positions.

- It's hard for women to access certain jobs.

- People can be stereotyped, e.g. women do the housework, girls like pink and boys like blue...

Then Holly gave you some documents that you had to work with for the rest of the class. You aslo had to come up with titles for each group of documents you had.

HW:

- préparez-vous au DST de jeudi sur le thème shopping.

- pour vendredi, apprendre votre leçon sur l'Inde.

- pour mardi, révisez les commentaires que vous avez pus faire sur les document donnés par Holly et rapportez-les pour pouvoir retravailler dessus.
