Assignment 11: Constructing human rights

In “Do Muslim women Really Need Saving?” Lila Abu-Lughod introduces how the construction of Muslim women is connected to the human rights and culture background in 21^st century. There is stereotype about Muslim women’s culture, dress code and behavior. The cultural explanations are the piece of critical value. Laura Bush’s radio question prove that most people who do not familiar the kinds of culture, religious and society status. But, they use judge views to critical others. I think the society give too much oppression to people whom looks or dresses different, or have different social behavior.

The politics of the veil limited all of women to have their own rights. The veiling is the natural way women to dress code in traditional. Compared to the other societies, it may feel a little differently. They should get the same respect as other women. There are many people have negative impact on Middle East countries. They are linked to the talibian, tetorrism and muslim. By the politics event and world status, the Muslism women became a sensitive word in the discussion. The “ Burqa” is a dress way limited women’s rights and status. The lack of the education and economic condition cause many women controlled by the talibian power. I think the government and society push some women into a negative environment. It is also a sign of inequality of gender.

The culture relativism is representing by the difference social value, the economic status and education skills. Based on that, people or women used to be the way they alive. They may not like the political conditions and inequality of gender and some traditional behavior. I think they need more peace and freedom than saving. People who live in a insecurity country, they have to need more confidence or a better environment to live.
