Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

I'm learning more about women
empowerment right now and in particular what I'm wondering about is:
"What is the role of women depending on which country they are in?" I
was researching this question online and this article caught my
attention because of the title.

"Nasreena and her mother help her aunt cook for the 14 people living in the four-room house. But,
like the other girls and women, she only eats a tiny fraction of what
she prepares. "

The quote I chose here is basically saying that women are supposed to eat after the men, who are the superior. It's a
tradition in these countries. Men are known to work harder than women
and known to need nutrition more than men. This can put those girls and
women at risk especially if they're pregnant. I can imagine they can
get sick with lack of food. Usually if men eat the food first, there's
barely any left for the women.

I think this interesting because I think it shows that to this day, women are lowered below men. It
makes me wonder what can break this traditions. Will they always exist
in certain countries?

I like your post because it's pretty interesting how you found this article. It's pretty sad because it's like they're slaves. They only get to eat a little portion of what they cook and if that was me, I would rebel back and get what I deserve.

Dear, Hiba
I really like your post, mission 6 learn because you really talk about how women are different to other women around the world.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is : "This can put those girls and
women at risk especially if they're pregnant." I totally agreed with you men it's a lot. For them to eat the left over they will be nothing to eat at all.
Thanks for your writing I look forward to seeing what you write next.

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
