Armstrong/Toastie

How I relate to both articles is, that Armstrong also comes from 2 different tribes and each one is different and has a different history and meaning behind certain things for example if I were to get married my dad's side of doing things would be different and has different than my mom's side of the family. Even names have meaning. I don't really know how I connect with Toastic Article. The only way I see a connection is I kind of agree with what she's saying about places' names but sometimes, we cannot change what has already happened and what it has been for a long time.

Research log 2

The article and video showed a lot of beliefs on stereotyping and showed there are different types of stereotypes and beliefs. Stereotyping has always been around way back when. At certain periods of time, there were stricter stereotypes. Even different stereotypes with different races and gender. Right now I'm focusing on gender stereotypes. Stereotypes can be seen in different ways whether it is Female and Males can be friends or relate to something that's seen on a male or female level or it is a woman can't be stronger than a man. Seeing that studies have been conducted on this topic as well shows that women are seen to have Communal traits and males have Agentic traits.

Reasearch log 3

Reading this article has shown me that women have been stereotyped for longer than I thought. I plan to use a lot of this information in my SHP project, I've learned women haven't been seen for a while then moving on to 1839-1895 women finally started to get rights for themselves and future generations. Each timeline has more and more progress showing women can do a lot more them men think.

Reading How to Shake up Gender Norms showed me that people now aren't letting history define who and what women can and can't do. Also changing the perspective on women. Which I find very interesting and helpful for women. Seeing women have earned and fought for rights we are still having to do that today.

Global Connections

Japan

In Japan women being the homemakers and men being the breadwinners is common there as well. In the late 20th century that stereotype started to change as more women started going into the workforce. In 2012 the government had a survey that found 50% of men believed that it is better that their wives should do the housework for women 60% had the same opinion. Japan believes that men should be more emotionally connected.

Gender Violence, the Law, and Society. © 2023 Emerald Publishing Limited. https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/978-1-80117-127-420221012/full/html#:~:text=Japan%20is%20home%20to%20a,breadwinners%20and%20women%20as%20housewives.

The governors of southwestern prefectures filmed a video of him wearing a 7.3-kilogram pregnancy vest which is equal to a 7-month-old fetus. The purpose of this was to encourage men to do more housework and understand what their wives go through. While wearing the vest he went for a walk, grocery shopping getting dressed for the day. Doing laundry, and public transportation. Back pains, washing dishes, walking up and down stairs with grocery bags, vacuuming, etc cleaning. The Bank of Mitsubishi and Sekisui house has pushed male employees to take paternity leave. To further shape their attitudes about gender roles. https://youtu.be/QAZRbuetgAo

In Japan, there are some women who are STEM women. Although thought out the year women have quit and dropped the work they were working on due to ¨Academic harassment” and ¨sexual harassment ¨ also occurs. Female researchers are often told they are not suitable for research and should quit becoming housewives. The harassment may be the reason explaining why there are only 16.9% of STEM women professionals in japan. (March 31, 2020).

Vietnam

Gender roles in Vietnam were along the line that men would typically work outside the home while females would stay home and were responsible for duties such as being the homemaker and raising children. The men would act as the head of the family and support the family. For example in Vietnam if a man and women were out and someone asked the female ¨how they were doing¨ the man would answer for her and say ¨shes ok¨. However, when the Vietnam War took place things changed just like her in America. During that time men were absent and women took independence.

Nowadays Vietnamese both genders are encouraged to follow their dreams and share their responsibilities at home. In Southern Vietnam culture, The men do not own property but the women do own property. Men take the women´s last mane and move into the home with them.

There is a project in Vietnam with funding from the 2013 Vietnam Women Innovation day supported by the Vietnam Women Union, The World Bank. It gives women in Vietnam job opportunities. Women would get training in embroidering This allows the women to work from home.

Conversation logs

Today I talked to my mom and Stepdad They did not want to be recorded for long Because they were busy doing some things. I asked what their opinion was on identity. My stepdad and mom were unsure of what I meant by Identity, My stepdad said his identity was who he claimed to be and who he had been in the past present, and future. off the recording he said to him it meant showing people who and what you want to be, and being how you would like to be treated he says he treats people how he wants to be treated he also says my identity is the person I was since he was born. He also agreed with what my mom said. And my mom said identity to her means, By showing your actions they identify who you are. Humanity, humility, and ethic. Off recording, she said, Your actions show who you are as a person. She also said the person you were as a kid is different than the person you are now the person back then is what made you who you are today. They both agreed that humanity, humility, and ethics make up your Identity.

Throughout the week, I talked to Damian Wierzbicki (English 4) and Christie Abeyta (Superintendent). I asked both of them somewhat of the same questions. 1 question I ask both of them that was the same was “How have you seen gender bias change from your time to now (as a teenager). They both said in different ways that they did see a change from their time to now about gender bias.

Wierzbicki said in our conversation that he sees the movement and an increase in awareness of this type of topic. I asked him if he thought gender bias ways were worse back then or now in this time, He said it was really hard to say and said a gut feeling that it was worse in his years than now. I also asked him how he felt and/opinion on tribal gender bias. He said he has no way to answer that and point fingers “saying your culture should be this way”. I thought that was a good way to answer my question cause pueblos do wanna keep the culture and traditions but also some do want to be open to it. In general, he thinks that if pueblos do want to change some ways it's a good idea cause as he said “they're opening a pool to new runners”. But things have been a certain way in culture and understand the way they keep it a certain way.

Christie Abeyta on the other hand had a lot more to say about what I had to ask. From her saying he grew up a “tomboy” I wanted to ask how she went through it in her teenage year and how people looked at her and felt about her. She said “Based on gender men are seen stronger and use it agents women” and that makes a lot of sense and stuck out to me. “Before the state was independent men should influence government and structure and native Americans had to adjust to that”, That statement also stuck out to me as well. She said in this society people still have the mindset of gender roles men should do this and that and women should do this and that as well. In our conversation, she made a lot of points about how racism really isn't the main set of placement but gender influences the placement as well. Having this conversation with her I noticed she had a lot to say about my topic. I also asked her the same question as Wierzbrick how had gender bias changed from her time to now he really just said that by not falling into the typical stereotypes people have of your or anyone you were considered an outsider. And in this time women are still not fully seen but were at the table and have a voice. She said as she was growing up she has seen a lot of big shifts for women and men falling in the gender bias change. In our conversation, I noticed as well it's mostly about acceptance toward one another and that moving on in the future and now is about change ad the willingness to accept that change.
