Recommended: Essay about hindus wedding culture

First, I want to say the film Water is very interesting and catch my attention. We didn’t finish the movie in class, I went to YouTube and buy the 24 hours’ access to this movie. I finish the movie on the day we watched. This is the first movie, I spend money online. The film Water teaches me a lot about Hindu widows in India in 1938. At the beginning of the scene, Chuyia is an 8 years old kid who got sent to the other side of the river where the widows live. They don’t have a job, and no income, depend on begging. Chuyia wear metal bands on her left wrist, and broken off when her husband die. I learn that windows are not allowed to run around in the street. Hindu widows can’t wear any other color other than white, and make themselves pretty.

    Water is one of the most vital essentials that helps support all of life. In the article “Water Works” by Cynthia Barnett, she talks about the “Growing Vine Street” project in how it has helped clean up the pollution in water. The project changes the flow of the water so it flows into the ground rather than through streets, parking lots, and roofs because it soaks up harmful things that goes into the gutter and cause pollution in many other places. Barnett believes we should upgrade the water system even though it will cost a bunch of money because the current water system is aging and needs to repair, replace, and upgraded. Upgrading the water system will help clean the water more effectively and reduce the amount of pollution in the

    Growing up in a traditional Punjabi family with both of my parents being born and raised in India has been an experience that I can only fully comprehend now at the age of twenty-three. Realizing how backward our culture is when it comes to women’s equality among family and society is an astonishing thought. Even though there is more gender equality here in America than in India within our households the women are still subjected to live and serve the men of the house. This custom has become almost an unconscious thought, to think of Punjabi women living in a traditional family more than a maid or babysitter would be blasphemous and heretical talk.

  • The Indian and the NRI Heroine

    1406 Words  | 3 Pages

    The young Indian female experience in the modern age is characterized by a conflict between Indian tradition and contemporary global culture. Historically the archetype of the ideal Indian woman has been used to build national unity, identity, and pride. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, public imagination equated the ideal woman to ‘mother India.’ This idea was fueled by art, literature, and particularly film. Heroines were characterized as “passive, victimized, sacrificial, submissive, glorified, static, one-dimensional, and resilient” (Virdi, 60). The social expectation of women to exhibit these traits persists in the modern day. Women struggle to reconcile these qualities with contemporary values such as independence, freedom, and gender equality. Therefore young women are still subject to the desires of their fathers, and the unofficial caste system still limits their social mobility; yet simultaneously they dance at nightclubs, and wear short skirts. Conflict between tradition and modernity is exemplified by events like the beer bar girls ban, in which young women who made a living by dancing in bars were banned from their profession on the grounds

    The use of techniques and strategies in animation is significant as it greatly emphasizes the overall message of the film, and most importantly it allows the audience to understand and identify the film in their own individual perspective. All techniques used in animation films have potential in their own distinctive ways. Films such as ‘200,000 Phantoms/ Nijuman No Borei’ (2007), ‘Philips Broadcast of 1938’ (1938), ‘Uncle’ (1996), ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ (1940), ‘Felix in Hollywood’ (1923), ‘Billy’s Balloon’ (1998), ‘Mt. Head/ Atama Yama’ (2003) and ‘Simonova Sand Performance’ (2009) demonstrates a variety of techniques and strategies in the most effective ways.

  • Women In The Quilt Theme

    1777 Words  | 4 Pages

    Women have often been called upon to make sacrifices and suppress their personal desires.They have often been left on the margins of the social set-up as far as their personal desires and fufilment of those desires is concerned. Women are not a minority in our society but their “lives, experiences and values have been treated as marginal” and men’s experiences have been assumed to be central to society. One also needs to contest the often stated view that in India women have always enjoyed a place of respect and dignity, that they have been respected as ‘devis.’ It needs to be seen that “the respect and privileges which accompany the position of a ‘devi’ are not only anti-individualistic,” they are also anti-humanistic and “deny women a personhood”.
