Читать книгу FOLLOWING INSTINCTIVE BEHAVIOR - Irmgard Hetterich - Страница 4

It isn’t just a word. All over the world women are yearning for more respect and equal rights. Recently there have been many demonstrations in India because of a brutal rape and death of a young woman. It seems that the officials have been ignoring these violent acts against women for years.

Not just in India, but also in many other countries where women have been treated badly by males, there is need for change. Whereas in many developed countries it is typical that women are treated equal when it comes to education and choice of profession, these important possibilities are missing in some undeveloped nations. These nations are developing at different rates but somehow behind those countries, which we already see as developed.

Civilization as we perceive it means living in harmony with humans and respecting their lives. This respect is missing in many countries for the weaker gender as seen in the news about nations, where the laws favor males. Also, certain rights are unreachable for a number of females who want to achieve things done by men. Times are changing and if the demonstrations in India help get justice for raped women by imprisoning the “alpha” male who begins this barbaric and uncivilized act, then the future can also bring more respect for women and one day equal rights.

It is not so easy to write a book about such a delicate subject but I have noticed that nature has given many animals an instinctive behavior to dominate over the weaker gender and in some cases prove themselves to be the “Alpha” (strongest) male.

This behavior is not only typical to animals, as can be observed by the behavior of some human beings. Wanting to be strong is not only a necessity through evolution for animals, and considering the fact that humans evolved from monkeys, then it is understandable, that some of these humans still want this right of being the strongest or the “alpha” male. And where can they prove this power? Naturally by domineering the females and using them as they need them or want them. This includes raping a woman in order to get their own satisfaction.

Nature needed the survival of the strongest to protect and secure the existence of the species. If for some reason the “alpha” male extinguished, it could also cause the extinction of the species. Through the development of the human species certain facts have changed, and the “alpha” male was not more so important. The civilization of the human species needed rules for peaceful living conditions between all males and females. In order not to live as other animals, humans have reason, intelligence and an understanding for the needs of others.

In this book I’m comparing the lives of animals and humans in order to share my knowledge and understanding of the differences as well as the similarities in the world, as I know it. Through the world news we get informed of the happenings in other countries and through my observation of my pets I’ve been able to make generalizations concerning certain evolved qualities and possible destinations. A major thought of mine is also the chance of predestination or the possibility of coincidence in all that happens.
