Homework No. 1- Video "The License"

VIDEO: THE LICENSE

This text is about an important aspect of the video, relative to “the woman´s position in the society”. I want to analyze this topic using an example, the Menonitas are an ethno religious group, this group derived from the Catholic Church, and is radical about the concepts of the modern society, and the women in these groups never have had the possibility to take decisions by their selves.

Discovery Chanel made a documental about a group of Menonitas from Alemania, but in this moment they are living in Bolivia, and this documental show a lot of women that have raped for their fathers and neighbors, and never have accused those guys; this conduct has a big reason, they never have taken decisions about their bodies or their future, because in this group the women are less important than the men.

Another example for study this kind of violence is the next:   the women that live in this place, never have visited others place and they can´t because they only take care their husbands and kids, a simple woman only can has sexual relations with one man is her life, if her husband die she can´t get marry with other person.  In this culture, no one of the women has studied in a University or in a college.

This custom is insane and inequality, and this kind of situations is not only for the Menonitas women, because is a normal conduct in many radical groups scattered around the world.
