Irish and Malawian Cultures

Goal: According to Geert Hofstede, "Culture is a collective plan of mind that distinguishes a group of members or groups of other people." For the purposes of this article, I will do a detailed analysis of the culture of Ireland and Malawi. The main reason I chose to focus on Malawi is that Malawi coincidentally is a charity of the year. It is an important country for Water Gala. In this event, we plan to collect funds to provide clean drinking water to people in developing countries.

In 2014, I participated in the production of a vaginal monologue in Malawi. The new version, first drafted by Eve Ensler in 1996, was localized and led to the creation of a new monologue incorporating the cultural background of Malawi into the theater. While these monologues highlight the problems faced by Malawi women, they also provide a platform for women to freely express gender, birth, menstruation, rape and love. The Malawi Review Committee, apparently controversial, invoked an illegal and alarming Malawi culture (if arrested, we will be arrested), and we have more than a dozen nationwide The vaginal warrior has grown since then.

According to the University of Social Science Center of Malawi University, child labor has been held in Malawi for a long time. It is part of the Malawi culture and continues to explain that children's labor can help parents at home until the late 1890s when formalized (University of Malawi). In developing countries like Malawi, children are integrated into the family economy from a young age According to ILO statistics, 93.7% of girls aged 5 to 14 and 90% of boys are unpaid family workers. Girls' paid labor rate is 8%, boys 7%, self-employed girls 6%, boys 3% (www.ilo.org)

In Malawi, 41% of women between the ages of 15 and 49 report that they are experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). There is evidence that IPV is prevalent in Malawi, but its background and ways of reacting women are not well explained. The purpose of this study was to describe the IPV experience of a Malawi woman in rural areas. As part of a large-scale study of the mixing method, a detailed interview of 55 Malawi's 55 rural women (M = 39) between the ages of 21 and 75 years was conducted. This qualitative subject analysis underscores her husband's opposition to wife's and women's behavior to protect themselves and their children and prosper in violent affairs. By using the post-colonial feminist view, I began to recognize Malawi's resistance to the harsh reality of IPV and gender inequality. We believe that the ability of women to adapt and resist repression in intimate relationships is an important tool to reduce IPV.
