The Nature of Gender Roles in the Tale of Ramayana and the Gender Roles Found Today
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing gender roles in Ramayana and those of today. The tale of Ramayana first said to be written around the year 1000 B.C. outlines the traditional gender roles in dharma. Rama as the male role model was obedient to his parents and faithful to his wife and eventually led an army to rescue her as would a traditional hero. Sita is Rama’s faithful and beautiful wife who follows him when he is banished in the forest, is faithful to him when she is abducted and obedient to him when he asks her to perform a test of her chastity. The tale has provided gender models for thousands of years and has also undergone various reinterpretations which constantly redefine the roles of Sita and Rama. In some versions, Sita is a strong and powerful woman who is humiliated by her husband’s request. Despite the different versions which exist, modern day Indian women and men and Indian communities in the western world have been found to have different gender roles. While many families still have “traditional” roles with the woman in charge of the house and children and obedient to her husband, still other studies have found that many modern Indian women today see themselves as independent professionals and in many cases, the major wage earners in their households.

The Similarities of the Ideals of Self-Mastery Found in John Cassian’s First Conference, Buddhism and Hinduism
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper noting the similarities between the Christian ideals and self-mastery as found in Cassian’s Conference I and the Eastern religions of Buddhism and Hinduism. Monk and Christian writer John Cassian (360-435) wrote two major collections of works dealing with the principles of monastic life: The first collection “The Institutes” deals mainly with “what belongs to the outer man and the customs of coenobia (i.e., Institutes of monastic life in common); and the other, “The Conferences” deals rather with the training of the inner man and the perfection of the heart”. The Conferences contain mainly the conversations between Cassian and Germanus with the Egyptians they met throughout their many journeys with the central subject being “the interior life”. Because of the nature of Cassian’s Conferences, the ascetic ideals within the works involve a great deal of self-mastery and renunciation often found through the act of meditation and his work not only influenced his own contemporaries and many of the later founders of religious orders but also is similar to the self-mastery which is found in some of the Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism.
