Historical Context. THE FEMINIST MOVEMENT Every society treats gender and gender differences in a culturally specific way. Moreover, social relations and structures everywhere evolve over time, creating new variations. It is striking, though, that men have always had a leading position in the majority of cultures, while women have been to a lesser or greater degree subordinated. It was not until the 19th century that groups of women openly and systematically started defying the existing social gender division, and resisting oppression. To better understand the present position of women in Mexican society, and in particular of indigenous women, it is important to look at certain historical evolutions, and to place current research in the context of feminism, including indigenous feminism. The history of feminism can be divided in different phases. Usually, the concept of ‘waves’ is used to indicate the different periods, however, it is important to realize that this term should be used with caution. Different types of activism existed and still exist simultaneously, and others overlap (XxXxxxxxx, 2000: 210). The division in waves is therefore only used to indicate general trends. As there are specialized studies discussing feminist history in detail, the goal here is not to give a complete overview, but rather to point to certain trends that are relevant for this work. A brief overview will be given of the history of the feminist movement in the West, looking at general evolutions in Europe, in particular the United Kingdom, and in the United States of America, both precursors regarding women’s rights. In Mexico, feminism developed almost in parallel with the movement in Europe and the U.S.A., but showed certain particularities worth explaining to understand the current situation of women in Mexico. In colonial times, some individual actions of female resistance can be noted in Mexico. In the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century, there was a first wave of feminist initiatives of Mexican women who openly started striving for the improvement of their rights. In her work Contra viento y marea: el movimiento feminista en México hasta 1940 (2002), Xxxx Xxxxxx writes extensively about the first period of the feminist struggle, starting around the time of the Mexican Independence. It shows the long tradition of Mexican feminism, but also that feminism has often been used for political purposes rather than for the real improvement of the position of women. Xxxxxx’ very comple...
Historical Context. In 1989, shortly after the conversion to cooperative ownership, the Board of Directors adopted a policy designed to (1) provide flexibility to shareholders who need to sublet for economic and personal reasons and (2) maintain the residential character of the building. More recently, the Board recognized a third reason: to maximize the Co-op’s financial health and its ability to borrow at the most favorable rates. Modifications to the policy have been introduced over the intervening years to respond to those shareholders who wish to purchase additional apartments and establish guidelines for those shareholders who purchase apartments as a non-primary residence, for example, as a pied-à-terre, home office, artist studio, or residence for a family member. See Family Member, below. Those shareholders who do not purchase an apartment as a primary residence are not permitted to sublet. The Board reviews the policy periodically to ensure it balances the various interests of the Co-op, keeps pace with changing life-styles, and promotes the fair and reasonable application of the rules in individual cases.
Historical Context. The partition of the Indian subcontinent created a conflict over the waters of the Indus basin. In 1951, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx wrote an influential article in Colliers magazine suggesting that the World Bank use its good offices to bring India and Pakistan to an agreement over how to share and manage the river system. The President of the World Bank, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, agreed to act as a conduit of agreement between the two states. Finally, in 1960, after several years of arduous negotiations did an agreement take shape. Even today, the Indus Waters Treaty is the only agreement that has been faithfully implemented and upheld by both India and Pakistan. Following the terrorist attack on the Indian Parliament on December 13, 2001, several high profile commentators in India suggested that the treaty should be scrapped, though the Indian government made no intimations that it was considering such a move. [For further information...] Abridged Text of Indus Waters Treaty (Signed in Karachi on September 19, 1960). The Government of India and the Government of Pakistan, being equally desirous of attaining the most complete and satisfactory utilization of the waters of the Indus system of rivers and recognizing the need, therefore, of fixing and delineating, in a spirit of goodwill and friendship, the rights and obligations of each in relation to the other concerning the use of these waters and of making provision for the settlement, in a cooperative spirit, of all such questions as may hereafter arise in regard to the interpretation or application of the provisions agreed upon herein, have resolved to conclude a Treaty in furtherance of these objectives, and for this purpose have named as their plenipotentiaries: The Government of India: Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Prime Minister of India, and The Government of Pakistan: Field Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, H.P., H.J., President of Pakistan, who, having communicated to each other their respective Full Powers and having found them in good and due form, have agreed upon the following Articles and An
Historical Context. 3 Industry and university cooperation has been shaped by historical and recent events. The United States Xxxxxxx Act of 1862 created “land‑grant colleges” directed towards the application of new technological advances in agriculture and engineering to enhance the economic growth and competitiveness of the agricultural industry. Years later, World War II and the Cold War U.S. rivalry with the Soviet Union spawned new and more diverse partnerships between industry and academia, prompting the investment of billions of dollars in scientific research as a national priority and giving rise to the research university.
Historical Context. Throughout the previous 80 years many people were forcibly removed from their own Homeland Estates and contained on mission sites within the Jagera, Yuggera and Ugarapul People's collective Homeland Estate. Some of the people living within that Homeland Estate are at present Aboriginal and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Islander members of our community who live here by choice. Both the historical and present circumstances and choices are acknowledged by the Jagera, Xxxxxxx and Ugarapul People and we recognise that many bring their cultural understanding and practices with them. As a result there are Elders who are people who have historical connection to the area and are recognised by the Aboriginal and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Islander community residing within the boundaries of the Homeland Estate of the Jagera, Yuggera and Ugarapul People. Currently there are over 13,000 Aboriginal and Xxxxxx Strait Islander persons living within the Brisbane and Ipswich areas. It is therefore important to recognise the Traditional Custodians with respects to their homelands and culture so as to not impact upon their rights or perpetuate displacement. Due to the standing and rights of the Traditional Custodians with respect to their homelands it is also important to ensure that there is not a misconception about cultural practices and significant cultural symbols, as Aboriginal People are not a homogenous group and are different Nations with different languages and symbology (included in artwork and body markings). Consulting with the Traditional Custodians on Welcomes, significant ceremonies and other cultural events will support us in preserving our Laws and Lore and help us to promote awareness and understanding among the broader community about the Jagera, Yuggera and Ugarapul People and their Homeland Estate.
Historical Context. Historical context refers to what was going on in the world during the timeframe in which a work is set or was written. It involves factors like economic conditions, societal norms of the day, major events, technological advancements, etc. For example: A research paper or book written about the possibility and potential impact of pandemics after the Covid-19 pandemic is over will have a very different historical context than works on the same topic created during an earlier time. Physical Context Physical context refers to the setting in which a work of writing takes place. It is the physical environment in which the story, or an event within the story, occurs. A book about surviving on your own in a huge, densely populated city will be very different from a book on the same topic that is set in a remote rural location.
Historical Context. As described in Chapter 1, the emergence of aviation in the early 20th century substantially reduced the notion of distance and the speed of communication. But at that time, the liability regime of air carriers in the case of fatalities was only governed by domestic legislations. The air carrier liability regime could either be regulated by general tort or contractual law, or by specific air legislations such as in France.1 As one might anticipate, none of these legal provisions were identical. Therefore, in the case of international flights, the question of applicable law was raised, with the consequence that no certainty existed as to which legislation would apply in the absence of specific international rules of conflict of laws. in addition, not only were the rules different in each domestic legisla- tion, they also substantially varied when it came to the level of passenger protection.2 Hence, depending on the result of the applicable rules of conflict of laws, the applicable substantive law may have offered a more protective regime for the carrier or for the passenger.
