English definitions:
The Southern Paris: it refers to Tehran of
the 1970’s during the Pahlavi dynasty due to the leading fashion and style of
western in this period of time.
Homeini: the leader of Shia sect of Islam
who rebel the Pahlavi dynasty in 1979. Under his authority, women are demanded strictly
on the appearance and behavior in public.
The article gives a general concept of the
struggle between the protest of women right in Iran and the tradition values of
the religion. In the article, it mentions the process of women’s practice of
life and fashion style from to the westernized Pahlavi dynasty to the Homeini
authority which highly demands the women’s behavior in public, even to make a
law to restrict them. There are both the offending side, which stands against
the high- pressured government of the violation of women’s right, and also the defending
side, that is, the official statement of the attitude toward their policies.
The statements
standing for the women’s right are relatively more familiar to us, that is, to improve
world-wide women’s right. They also claim that improvement of women’s right is a
necessary way for Iran getting their way to a developing country. On the other
hand, the excuses of the government, are usually folded to outside. The government
declares that they aim to protect the traditional values of the Islam,
including the women’s function and status inside the family or outside the society.
Furthermore, the government also denounces the imposition of the western values
on the Islam women, as they are all devote willingly to their religion.
In
general, women’s right in Iran can be positioned into different aspects of
viewpoints. It can be seen as jihad of Islam women to protest their right of
freedom in amount of restrictions. As it has been changing since the authority of
Homeini started, it can also been seen as an ideology of a single clique of a
union of religion and politics party. As the different views of points flourishing
more and more, there are also lots of questions worth discussing. Whether if
the Iran government owns the power to invade women’s right in the excuses of
religious values and taboo, or it is not proper for us to interfere or judge
other culture by the system of values that is established by the dominant
western society, is an important issue that need everyone to pat attention on
it.
Open the eyes to see whole world from your annotation; You make me to rethink that there are still lots of oppression existing no matter the right of gender or the relationship between teacher and students or employers and employees or parents and children. Is the real freedom in our country, society, school, family and individuals? I think that the freedom and right's issue is really complicated. Since everyone's standard is totally different from others. These ideas are developed from my mind after reading your summary.I think everyone will face any kind of choice to pursue the right and freedom about speaking, dressing, writing, time or even emotion and relationship in class or work place in every moment. In addition to my opinion, your summary is clear and good!
回覆刪除I really like the topic you choose. Nowadays, though the concept of equality is known for public, there are still lots of unequal situation happen. After reading your annotation, I associate with another example: desert flower. The scene is not at Iran but Africa. It is such a terrible and cruel tradition and clearly shows that women are not equal to men just like you mentioned in your article.
回覆刪除I am not sure about whether this link will help you to make your point clearer, but I still post the link to you. Hope this can help you to broaden your paper.

First of all, thank you for choosing such a gender equality as topic since the topic is always pending and involved in numerous factors to make it more complex than others. Couple weeks ago, Emma Watson's speech in UN just enlightened and raised awareness of gender conflict and feminism, producing clear viewpoint that it's not the problem to choose to support any side of gender but to understand both sides completely to meet in the middle point. I hope in the upcoming annotation there's more part about the method of balancing women's choice in religion and freedom. The religion is not made to confine a person's life but to nurture his/her thinking. So cheer up to offer us more surprise of further research!
回覆刪除Your topic is quite innovative for me. Everybody knows there exists inequality of women rights in Islam society, but just as you mentioned, what we gained is mostly from Western countries. And it is what I never think about. This annotation can not only support your issue paper but also broaden my horizon. The topic of your issue paper is Women Right in Islam: Tradition or Improvement. Now you are offering the annotation about the conflict between traditional religion against modern women consciousness. Therefore, I’m looking forward to your upcoming annotation about improvement of women right in lslam. Again, I admire the topic you’ve chosen.
回覆刪除I am very interested in this issue too, because it is being discussed world-wide and it not only cause affect in Iran but has association to every one in the world. In your analysis, the big conflict of woman's right in Iran is based on the value different from western to middle east. It's tough to say which is exactly right or wrong, yet I remember when violating woman's right to a line, it's correct for the world to post denouncement and stop it, according to The universal Declaration of Human rights. But what is this line for? How should we set up this line without insulting Iran's religion? Maybe you can find other Islam countries that also fight for woman's right and discuss their success and failure.
回覆刪除I think the news you find is a good ingredient. However, I’m quite confused with your topic. Are you trying to define whether it is good or bad that women in Iran have to live under strict Islamic rule? Or do you think that women in Iran are badly treated and you want to fight for their women right? Improvement is a very western and modern concept. If you care about the women right in Iran, I think you can study the Koran and the history of Iran and Islam. In your annotation, I think you can add more your personal opinions and stances.
回覆刪除Your topic of discussing the equality between genders is quite a controversial topic. With different tradition, culture, experience, notion, the equality can be explained and later on presents in various ways. Even the changes from time to time and history itself affected this issue in one way or another. And I think it is rather interesting nowadays when people claim about equalism between the two gender, yet things just seemed a little better than before since men are still holding prejudice against women. Therefore, I think besides of the Islamic culture, you can focus more on woman’s right. In addition, by doing so, maybe your point would seem broaden up than just simply focus on the right of Islamic women.
