Introduction to essay


Indian Women: neglected housewives


Women when seen from the lens of child is 'Mom','Grand mother'. For a male teenager is also 'girlfriend' and finally for a grown up is 'wife'. But what is the difference right? When man seen through the lenses of women they do also play significant roles as 'father','grand father', 'boyfriend' and 'husband'. The main critical aspect of seeing through the men's lenses lies when we start counting the degree of ignorance of women. Degree of ignorance of women in every aspect is evident from the history of the world. One of the most common example is Women's suffrage in 1893 when for the first time in the history of world women were allowed to vote. One may argue that how does social life of women outside of home relate to the life inside the home? Relation between domestic and social life can be easily compared as the domination factor is the same in both the cases.
For the position of women socially one may see the difference in the status of women since 1893 as now even India has women in I.A.S. position and as CEO of leading businesses. But does it have made any difference in the domestic life of women? only 22.27% of women includes working force in India in 2011 [ Ministry of labour and employment ] and also we cannot assume that these 22.27% have fair conditions at home. Home is usually what man defines it as evident from the most bollywood movies with eldest man of the family occupying the central chair often regarded as chair of power. Although we have seen a radical change in the social context in position of women in the Indian society, we still require to scrutinize the condition of women as in real world.

In what ways must you apply elements of Critical thinking to each of the four moralities in our assignment: (1) oral, (2) Written, (3) Visual, and (4) Electronic?

'A picture speaks a thousands words' is one of the most common phrase known to us but when words compliment the pictures, they serves as icing on the cake. Visual representation of the thoughts helps in explaining the views more clearly although they may not substitute the written text completely. Visual representation seems to serve as universal appeal as it speaks its content itself without any language and yet conveys the message or views completely.

In my assignment, I want to emphasis more on visual representation to make my story self-explanatory and complement it with voice-over to fill the transition gap between two pictures. I may use written text to explain the context of the current picture but use the voice-over to take the story forward or in other words to maintain the flow of the story devised. As most of my visual representation will be of simple pictures so I will be using MS PowerPoint to present my point through various slides mainly as pictures. I want to use all of the four elements as mixed to present my story because using only one of the above will not be sufficient to present the idea in the most appealing way.

Although I am struggling with hoe to present the oral part of the presentation but I am thinking to do it myself because it will add to the list of my new experiences. As of the visual part I will not be using much of the animation stuff because it will not make me to thing more deeply on how can I convey the same message in lesser frames and also we do not have enough time to learn simple animation. So to use time judicially and think more critically I have planned to sketch out a rough idea on how I want my images to be structured slide wise and which type of image (setting of the image environment) will be more suitable to present the context. Again to work on structure I have used cwc's story boarding structure to keep me on the my sketched structure although I will not be using story boarding completely in my presentation.
