We live in the second decade of the 21st century, a century that is intuitively believed to be an Indian century shaped and guided by its accomplishment. What makes India unique in its diversity, is the mixed nature of language, religion, culture, etc. Though with development and infrastructure there is an increase in employment, living standards, and personal growth rate; where still our society or country as a whole lag behind is in the education system. Especially for the people belonging to rural areas, where there is a lack of awareness, domination of the patriarchal society, child labor, and marginalization of women.
It is a society which is rebellious in nature, rejects the inclination of one basic truth implemented by forerunners. Society that seems to be very well influenced by the 'Fission Chain Reaction'(a chain of reaction triggered by an initial reaction). It renounces the inherent flaws of attempting to create simple answers to complex problems. As off, gender and biology do not determine personality, aptitude, and capability. in widely varying degrees across any population, they're factors for all. It shouldn't be determined otherwise.
In The Second Sex(1949), Simone de Beauvoir argued the woman was at a great disadvantage where they grew up under "a multiplicity of incompatible myths" about women. The "myths" proposed to them, whether in literature or history, science or psychoanalysis, encouraged them to believe that to be a woman was to be others: especially men. In Beauvoir's discussion of representatives of women "the strong woman" is the one who is uncomplaining and relentlessly hardworking:
The second coming is a poem written by William Butler Yeats in 1919 in the aftermath of the First World War, and was published in the American magazine “The Dial” in November 1920. Later on, it was included in the volume entitled ‘Michael Roberts and The Dance’ in 1921. It was written when Yeats was puzzled by violence, displaying events like the Easter rebellions of 1916, the Irish war of 1914 to 1918. And in terms of his philosophy a new age in the world’s history was going to begin. He believed that the full circle of the wheel i.e. the moon corresponds in the time to approximately 2000 years. At the beginning of each such year period a new dispensation is announced. This pattern could be seen in the history of the world from about the year 2000 BC. in that year “The Egg of Leda” is supposed to be hatched out. In Greek mythology Leda is the mother of Helen, Castor, Pollux and Clytemnestra. These were her children by her union with the great God’s Zeus who appeared to her and made lo
Artist: Prerna Anand (Idea-Original) There is that small streak of steel within each child. That thing that says "I am," and forms the core of personality. In the second year, the bone hardens and the child stands upright, skull wide and solid, a helmet protecting the softness within. And "I am" grows, too. Looking at them, you can almost see it, sturdy as heartwood, glowing through the translucent flesh. The bones of the face emerge at six, and the soul within is fixed at seven. The process of encapsulation goes on, to reach its peak in the glossy shell of adolescence, when all softness then is hidden under the nacreous layers of the multiple new personalities that teenagers try on to guard themselves. In the next years, the hardening spreads from the center, as one finds and fixes the facets of the soul, until "I am" is set, delicate and detailed as an insect in amber.” ― Diana Gabaldon, Dragonfly in Amber
