Proiect engleza Women's status is a complex issue and a hard-to-define
subject. Around the world, women's status in each society
and culture varies in different ways. In some societies,women's status improved gradually, while in other, it
declined or remained unchanged. What affects women's
status in a society? In what kind(s) of society, /is women's
status /is/ among the highest? And why?
Our research paper will focus on the relationship betweenwomen's status and the degree of stratification and wealth
of a society.
First of all, I realized that there is no standard on howpeople define and judge women's status in a society. In my
point of view, one of the judgements /that could be used for
women's status is the "opinion of people/," which includes
two areas - society and family. That is, how the public
views females and how parents' treatment of the daughter
compares to that of the son. (See group III for
relatedvariablesused.) This group of variables is going to
be compared with other groups of variables in different
areas to test my hypotheses. Besides, there are another two
groups of variables related to women's status that are
selected to be used in the paper.
First, a woman's ability to survive, that is, what I refer to asfinancial independence for women nowadays, would affect

women's status in most societies. I believe it is more likely
that people would have more respect /for/on/ productive
persons than /for/independen/ce/ts/WHY? in most cultures.
Therefore, I suppose women's contribution to be one of thefactors affecting women's status.
Second, /in a society in which castes and/or slaves exist,that is, /in/ a non-egalitarian society, women are more
likely to have a lowersocial status. My point is, /in such a
case/if/ the public believe/s that human beings are not
equal, and thus/,/ they classify people into different classes,
socially or politically. Then speaking of genders, there must
be a higher class as well. Would that be male or female? Isuppose it to be male. The reason is that/,/ males are
physically advantage/d/ous/ relative to females, and
therefore, males are traditionally valued over females in
many cultures.
These two groups of variables are negatively correlatedwith each other. Generally speaking, it suggests, notwith a strong correlation figure, that the more levels or
classes /that exist in a society, the lower women's status
is.For example, the negative correlation between womens status
and social class,, and wealth, may suggest that a declining trend
on women's status somewhat corresponds to a more complex
degree of social stratification in a society.
The correlations between these two groups of variables are
positive and significant at their level of significance. However,
marriage arrangement for females seems to be less related to the

money and density of population variables /than /as/ marriage
arrangement for males/ is/. There is no strong correlation
between marriage arrangement and wealth.
Variables in this table are all positively related to womens status
in general (inheritance of property of some economic value.)
This result is expected, /and maybe it could be supportive /of
how/on/ financial power of women increases their status in the
society.
In any age, place, and time, women, actually all people,should always remember that, one's status might be
determined by others, but it's also always needed to be
earned, but not given. Women's status does vary around the
world, but the key to improve it is universal. That is /the
message is to start from improving oneself.
