Assignments
Evaluation of
two videos, which are included as part of Course Content:
Based on the
Community video: Bangladesh men who were opposed to women seeking more power
used a variety of tactics to resist change: threats of violence, spreading
rumors about the women, religious threats that the women would go to hell, etc.
In the
country that your team has selected, what are some tactics used to put
obstacles in the path of women’s empowerment? How are men overpowering women,
in obvious and subtler ways? Cite sources for this information. Then, give
suggestions for combating these tactics in your selected country.
What can or
should women do to fight back? Explain your rationale, including why these
particular strategies might or might not work in the country in question. Cite
all your sources of reference.
Based on the
Shackled Women video: For your selected country, research how the condition of
women has changed since the last U.N. Conference on Women in Beijing. In other
words, use the factors discussed in Shackled Women, such as violence against
women, to evaluate the condition of women in your selected country. Cite your
sources of reference.
These are two
short separate reports, but you will submit them together using the Assignment
Drop Box under M2A5. The combined report should not exceed 5 double-spaced
pages. The style is that of your choice. A rubric is used to evaluate the work.
