The Concepts of Feminine, Slavery, and Discrimination By Maya Angeloue

Abstract

Being a slave is something that no one in this world would accept, but blacks had no choice.  Slavery and discrimination had a major influence on those who were held in bondage because they were deprived of rights. They felt the lack of social and legal status, their private lives did not exist anymore, but the thing that affected them most was the absence of a vital right: having authority over their own life. According to John C. Calhoun, who was a model for the secessionists, slaves had certain features, physical characteristics that other races did not have and which made them perfect for hard labor and for bondage.The term feminism can be used to describe a political, cultural or economic movement aimed at establishing equal rights and legal protection for women. Feminism involves political and sociological theories and philosophies concerned with issues of gender difference as well as a movement that advocates gender equality for women and campaigns for women's rights and interests. (Miller, 1981:39)Feminism is the struggle of movement women rights in economic, education, occupation, politic, social and different culture with men. In poems, having the theme like struggle rights of women, women rights in self-confidence, hidden beauty, although the skills of her own feels more superior than men.                        

 Discriminatory behaviors and actions that affect a person or group with certain personal characteristics can become entrenched in an organization or community. People have the right to equal treatment and opportunities, without discrimination or harassment, in the areas covered by the Code. Direct discrimination often happens because people make unfair assumptions about what people with certain personal characteristics can and cannot do. Indirect discrimination occurs when an unreasonable requirement, condition or practice is imposed that disadvantages a person or group because of a personal characteristic.
