The rule of the father

Patriarchy literally means "the rule of the father" and comes from the Greek word patriarkhia, which means "father or chief of a race." It is a social system in which power or authority is given to men to govern society. The society is dominated by men, who are given more privileges than women.

Negative effects of a Patriarchal Society

Women have no autonomy. They are expected to follow men. In a society dominated by men, the laws and policies are biased toward women. If there is conflict between a husband and wife in the administration of properties or how to rear their child, the decision of the husband or the father shall prevail. If a woman decides to get married, she traditionally takes the family name of her husband, and their child also takes the family name of the father.

The Difference of Ethics and Morals

 The Difference of Ethics and Morals

Ethics originated from the Greek word "ethos," which means "character," while morals derive from the Greek word "mos," which means "custom". Both deal with right or wrong. However, ethics is external, which means the right or wrong set by society, while morals is internal, which means the right or wrong set by a person to himself or herself. 

Ethics are the rules that a person must follow in society and in their profession. Every profession has standardized responsibilities and accountabilities, such as teachers, lawyers, and engineers. Morals are personal values, which mean an individual's guiding principles for his or her action.
