Chapter 33 Study Questions

1. Hunger and poverty tend to be typical of all third world problems. The governments despise the poor. The people of poverty have to depend on religion for self- assurance and tend to be closed-minded since they are segregated within the community and looked down upon. The third world has contaminated resources and many people can become ill.

2. Women in third world nations, especially the mestizo, mulatto, and indigenous populations do not have equal rights as men. Women are close to nothing and no one seems to appreciate them. They are the hard-working cooks, cleaners, caregivers, nurturers and family stabilizers. Without them, the social order would collapse; however, in the third world problems especially with pregnancy and little money, their lives are hard.

3. Post-Colonial Egypt has become a flourishing democracy with the President, Prime Minister, and Cabinet. For decades in India, the Congress Party ruled the democratic country, which had become a republic with its own constitution in 1950. In 1977, the opposition gained the majority of votes. In 1984, after the Congress Party had regained the majority, conflicts with the cultural minority of the Sikhs lead to the assassination of the Indian Prime Minister, Indira Ghandi. There was also a lot of tension between the Muslims and the Hindus.

4. The Iranian Revolution was a throwback to the fundamentalist revolts of the 19th century as it imposed religious beliefs on the public, such as women had to cover themselves completely when in public. Both movements emphasized religious purification, and religion and politics being one. Both wanted to rid the country of western government influence.

5. Decolonization has improved economic growth of colonized countries. It has also given back the land to its people, which has helped them go back to their traditional ways.

    The Iranian revolution of 1979 refers to the overthrowing of the last king of Iran. It was an Islamic revolution which attempted to replace Mohammed Reza Shah, with an Islamic republic under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the revolution. Strong opposition against the Shah showed that the people wanted a religious ruler rather than someone they saw as an American puppet. Many Iranian people would think that the Shah was a ‘capitalist pig’ who ran a corrupt and repressive regime but tried to embrace western style democracy. In saying this, Iran was a very developed and modern nation during the Shah’s reign where students were educated together and westernization took over. The Shah, who was supported by many western powers, ruled Iran like a dictatorship. He oppressed his people, many of which were illiterate, and kept most of them in poverty which made him very unpopular. The people of Iran were living in an oil rich country, and yet poverty was not uncommon. They enjoyed freedoms unheard of in Saudi Arabia, yet were kept under the brutal force of the secret police, the Savak. On the other hand when Khomeini took over the government was a theocracy and ended all progression in Iran and forced his Islamic rules on the people. Iran became a completely different nation after Khomeini took power losing all its foreign industry and development. Khomeini believed that Iran was losing its origins and history to Americanization. He ruled using the Quran, the Islamic holy book. This meant new Islamic laws were imposed on people, a new dress code was coerced on woman while men had more freedoms displaying patriarchy in society. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press were ostensibly protected, at least as long as it did not contradict Islamic law. He expelled all other influences whereas the shah agreed with capitalism and modernization on the culture and economy. This caused Khomeini to cut off western influence…

    The Iranian Revolution had many factors that caused the uprising. At this time, the country was facing major economic difficulties as well as the regime of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi trying to take control of the country. Also, there weren’t many opportunities for political involvement. The National Front and pro-Soviet Tūdeh political parties were outlawed and made powerless. The regime censored protests, and many people were under surveillance, harassed, put into illegal detention, and tortured. After years of this turmoil building up, in January 1989, religious students, Iranian youth, and unemployed immigrants from the countryside took to the streets and the revolution was started. Iran’s lack in their citizens political involvement sparked…

    Gender Discrimination

    Although we live in the 21st century gender discrimination still remains. Despite the fact that international laws have granted men and women equal rights, in some parts of the world there is discriminatory attitude towards men and women, which affects their lives on a daily basis. Since women are mostly affected by discrimination, I will try to cover as many different types as possible. First of all, in eastern countries when girls are born they are considered as just another expanse. Their place is in the home, and they’re considered to be servant of the household. As they grow up they’re made to feel inferior to boys. Also in some parts of the world, girls do not have the right to go to school and be educated. Resulting in them not being able to seek a career later on in their lives. As far as labor in concerned girls are likely to work from daybreak until the light drains away, they work hard without recognition or reward, not to mention the fact that since infancy women run the risk of physical harm, they’re vulnerable to abuse, especially those living in societies where their rights mean practically nothing. In addition, this is a phenomenon in developing world countries since there is much poverty striking families; they see their daughters as an economic predicament. Even newborn girls lack the opportunity to be breast fed by their mothers, since their goal is to try and get pregnant again with a boy as soon as possible. As they grow up, they receive less food, healthcare, even fewer vaccinations then boys.…
