20th Century Roles of Men and Women in Society

20^th Century Roles of Men and Women in Society

By: Tom Monson, Miranda Scherer, Robert Niehoff, Matt Dehn, 

Tim Cox, Angela Balcome, Sarsha Vang, Monica Riebe, Brett Clark- Hedlof

Military Roles

Men

All men age 18-23 were obligated to go through a nine month training before going into war 

There are approximately 200,000 soldiers that are considered professional and 300,000 that are more civilian, but are on reserve and are able to become active at any given time

Some men were forced into war through guilt or shame of their family and friends during WWI and WWII

All major German military and political leaders were men

Military roles

Women

In WWII Women took on the more traditional roles that men had filled.

During WWII Women tended to the sick and wounded, buried the dead, cleared the streets of rubble and ruins and salvaged what they could.

In 1975, German women were sought out to join the military, mostly as nurses

Political Roles

1919- Women receive the right to vote

1949- Basic Law made men and women equal, but until 1957 this law wasn’t amended into the civil code

Domestic Roles

Women

the three "K" words: Kirche, Kinder and Küche. (church, children and cooking) 

Also, women were meant to bear “Aryan” children and were taught to do so through aggressive propaganda.

East German society

East Germany

Women remained working

Laws were revised to accommodate working mothers and many daycares opened up

Abortion was legalized for the 1^st trimester

East Germany relied on women due to the number of males fleeing to West Germany

90% of women made up the workforce and ½ of the German Trade Union Federation

West German Society

West Germany

After WWII women became homemakers again because the men were back from war

West women wanted the same rights as east women (abortion, working rights, education)

Education

Primarily male driven at first

More then half of the people getting a secondary education was women after 1977

East women were more educated then west, because west women wanted to keep the traditional role

In 1980 women were just as qualified as men

Work Force 

Women’s salary was still only about 65-78% of the male salary

Women could not hold top positions

Most women still worked the traditional jobs, such as school teachers and nurses

Berlin Calling

1. What do drugs mean to Ickarus? 
Drugs are a way for Ickarus to relax, and be himself. It is also something that all him and his friends have in common. When he parties, Ickarus does drugs.
2. Why, when, and how are his fans taking drugs, and which drugs do they take?
The drugs Ickarus's fans take are mainly designer drugs. LSD, MDMA, ketamine, crystal meth, PMA, MPA, and weed were all mentioned in the movie. They take drugs to make the music better and the parties more enjoyable. It is also something that everyone has in common, besides the music.
3. While we can see that his drug habits get him ill and into a psychosis, and while we witness his relapse and inability to work successfully, why does the subculture Ickarus is in focus on drugs?
The drugs are just another hobby that everyone that listens to music partakes in. It also allows the people to work very hard during the day and go to their little disco parties all night long.
4. Compare the standards you know from your home society with the people you see depicted in this movie. Which are the stark differences and contrasts?
In the movie i believe that there is more prostitutes, crappy hopitality in the psych ward, and a train takes people everywhere. I also noticed that Ickarus had a bunch of polo shirts with an emblum on the top right chest. They looked soccer shirts, which you barely see in America. The doctor smokes, there were no McDonald's, there were a few fat people, and the cars are small.
5. Germany is considered a strong industrial nation the world over. Do you think that the youth culture as depicted here could change that? How about work ethics of Ickarus and of Alice, the label director who fires and then re-signs him?
Their musc is industial so that changed in this generatiuon. Ickarus treated Aice(his boss) like crap. In the end,however, she still signed him and produced his record.
6. Which similar "cult movies" of US origin have you seen, if any?
I have seen Boondock Saints, Cheech and Chong, and Clerks.
