C.C. 3.1

     In the article titled "Chinese Women Rights," the website informs readers of discrimination still going on in China.
   
     Women in America are so much more privileged than women in China. In a paragraph titled Discrimination in Education and Employment, the author states, "It is hard for most women to get jobs even if they have degrees. Most good jobs are only open to men." I do not think we have any idea how good we, as women, have it. Our rights are so much more advanced than the rights in China.

     When we think of men abusing their wives, we are automatically disgusted. Not so in China. This website reveals, "It is found acceptable in some parts of China for men to abuse their wives. There are not any laws to protect women from domestic abuse. Many authorities don't report abuse because they think wife abuse is a family matter." If a woman is abused in America, it simultaneously gets reported and is often heard on the news or found in the newspaper. I just don't understand why the police do not do something about the abuse. Is there no morality?

     In the U.S., selling of slaves and brides ended long ago, but in some parts of China, women are being sold like pieces of meat. In the article, the author says, "There are women being sold as brides in the black market. Men who have purchased women don't get arrested meaning that the trade of women is still active. Usually when victims try to escape, they get brutally beaten, imprisoned, and possibly murdered." This sounds like the lake of fire to me. These women have hardly any rights, and although China's economy is improving every day, darker things lurk beneath the surface.

      This reminds me of how the women in the Middle East are treated. Many are abused, have no say in their education, and are thrown away like trash.

      We believe that are world is thriving, rights are being made, and fairness is taken into account. Unfortunately, we believe a lie.
