Iranian Woman Presentation

The presentation, by Nicole and Vivian, about Iranian women gave some important information of how women in Iran are treated unequally with the men. In the United States, we are used to live in a condition where men and women are equal. American women have exactly the same rights as men do; such as get the same education, capable to divorce their husbands, and have individual identity. On the other hand, Iranian women must live under discrimination in term of rights. They can’t get as high education as men because they can’t go to college if their husbands don’t want them to. They also can get divorce for no reason, and worse, they can’t marry twice while men can marry more than once. From my point of view, Iranian women get the same treatment as Chinese women. They both are being disrespected by society. I can say they live like dogs where their presence must obey their owner, and they are not supposed to complaint. Personally, I feel sad about this situation because from my point of view, women play an important role in my life. For example, my mother, I wouldn’t want to see the discrimination like those towards her. If you want to look back, how many people in this world does not come from a mother’s tomb? The big question is why people are being cruel and do not appreciate them. Muhammad once said “Heaven is located beneath your mother’s feet”. Isn’t this saying teaching us to respect and appreciate women instead of treating them like some kind of lower level people? If Iranian conducts Islamic religion, then it is a pity that they don’t follow what their leader said. I’m not saying that women can forget their nature as wives to give companionship to their husbands with highly respect. On the other hand, men should cherish the presence of women in this live.
