What does your car say about you? The colors, size
and type of car all reflect how people driving,
vision others as a people. Bumper stickers are a
way individuals show particular sides of who they
are. Bumper stickers can range from humor,
politics, sexual orientations, gender, or personal
information, such as school, nationality or
location. Over the last week I have seen bumper

medieval India, the status of women in the

river Nile, from Aswan to the northern Delta.
Ancient Egyptian society treated men and women
equally. Women participated in the political,
economic, and judicial world of ancient Egypt on
the same terms as men. This social system reflects
Egyptian mythology, where Goddesses played an
equal, if not chief, role. Egyptian goddesses were

Role Of Women Hindu Society
730 words
In Buddhism the place of women is an inferior one,
which stems from traditional, cultural, and social
values of Asia. Although females can accumulate
good karma, they can rarely attain Nirvana and
therefore must wait until they are born as men. In
Hinduism the role of women is downgraded as well
and no act is to be done according to her will. A
woman must always be cheerful and clever in the
household business and keep the furniture well
cleaned. She must always have a free hand. She
must have o...
