Globalization. A good or bad thing?

I have a friend who came over as a nanny from Phillipines. She told us that in Britain, Filipino means domestic worker. This is actually in their dictionary she said. This is like exactly what happened with the black people being slaves and people believing that is all they were made for. Pretty bad eh?

Gender Gap

A lot of people get quite worked up about the gender gap. It seems to be quite a big deal. However, women not made to be equal with men. It goes right back to the very beginning. Adam and Eve were not both created. Adam was created and then God put Adam to sleep and took a rib from Adam and made Eve out of it. God did not make them equal. He made Eve to be a help meet for Adam. So God made women to not be equal with men, but to help them. Also, God made women to be in subjection and not to be above, or even equal to the man. In 1 Timothy 2:11-15

1 Timothy 2:11-15 ¹¹Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. ¹²But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. ¹³For Adam was first formed, then Eve. ¹⁴And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. ¹⁵Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety

This scripture talks about how women are not meant to be equal, but to be in subjection and to not be above a man. A lot of women these days think they should be equal with men if not above. This is very contrary to scripture. Also a lot of women 'wear the pants' in their home. This means that they are the head of the home. This is not only outlined in verse 12 in the passage above (where it says '...nor to usurp authority over a man...' but also in Ephesians 5:23 ('For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church...'). Women should not try to fight for gender equality because all they are doing is going against the Word of God. 


However I do not believe that women should be treated as doormats. They should be treated with respect. What I am saying, is that women should not be equal or higher then men. They should not be the head of the house, or even 'the neck that turns the head'. 


You might ask why this post has so much scripture in it, it is because if the Bible doesn't say something about it, it is not important to me.

Introduction

As I am now completing the last unit is Social Studies 10-1, I am required to consider "To what extent should I, as a citizen, respond to globalization?"


I think that one of the most important thing to me is human rights. In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 18 states "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance." This is important to me because a lot people judge me according to the fact that I wear skirts and don't cut my hair. Some people automatically label me as a teenager who is forced to do things by her parents, but that is not so. I do it because it is the right thing to do and because the Bible says to.

The sad thing is, not a lot of people know or understand the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I think that it should have to be read by every kid in school and when a person immigrates, it should have to be given them with their immigration papers. It is a very strong document and I think that it should be distributed to more people.
