EXAMPLES IN AMY TAN’S FAMILY

THE SECRETS WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP AND THE STORY NEED TO BE TOLD
Learn from the fault of past
Remember what had happened in our ancient culture
The West The East
Same
1.Patriarchy society
2.Women have lower status than men
3.Genders becomes more equal now
The West The East

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WESTERN AND TAIWANESE WOMEN

Ambitious Win 囧
TAIWAN SOCIAL PHENOMENON
Choosing career (stereotype) Boys : good at science and math →doctors and engineers
Girls : good at literature, language and taking care of people
→ teachers or nurses
gender equality in jobs -discrimination in promotional
opportunities
Ex. the Department of Personnel 1/7 top managers is woman 70% female workers
Men-take on much more opportunity to support a family financially
Women-take care of the whole family
Some other problems -Sexual harassment at work -Pregnant, breastfeeding (the
environment) -underpayed for doing the same job -and so on…
SELF-REFLECTION
Men who own great power or wealth
plentiful love stories!!!
As for women single…
Stereotype that make people can’t entirely accept the fact that woman plays the dominant role.
Every time a female is at the helm or takes over an important post, the media will sure to report it at great length.
Is it really worth cheering and rejoicing?
Or
Is it still pathetic?
