Pick of last week (ending March 4, 2011)
Hello from Inside!
Last week Japan celebrated the Doll Festival Day (ひなまつりの日). Although March 3 is not a national holiday, many families with daughters celebrate the day by displaying a set of ornament dolls in their houses. (If you are interested in ひなまつり, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinamatsuri for more information.)
So Insider decided to celebrate the girls’ day by featuring some women-related videos, such as:
California Community Colleges
Learning at CCC
Changing Roles of Womenhttp://iuniv.tv/top/episode/eid/2183/pid/186
This was an interesting piece of lecture. Adding her great sense of humor here and there, Ms. Susan Regier, Language Arts professor at Porterville College, describes how the roles of women have become diverse in the course of the last 50 years, from an option-scarce era to the gender-free era so to speak. It was also interesting to find out that during the Cold War, women domesticity was promoted in order to emphasize on the well-off lives under capitalism, as opposed to women in the then Soviet Union.
