Labeling In Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart

Decent Essays
Our society today chose to put labels on things just like the Igbo tribe did in the book “Things Fall Apart”. With many products that are sold to the public they have a gender specification, saying that it is only used for one gender. Also in the story the use of labeling something with a gender gives it a negative or positive look, which isn’t exactly fair in either society.
In our daily lives we see things labeled as “for Men” or “for Women” and that would really downplay the human right of choice. For instance, a male might prefer to use women’s Dove deodorant because he found the Dove deodorant “for Men” isn’t as potent as the females version of the product. And in my option, I don't think things should have labels because it's a persons

    Do genders really matter? In the article of “Learning to Be Gendered” by Penelope Eckert and Sally McConnell-Ginet, Eckert and McConnell-Ginet speak deeply about how gender categorizing is irrelevant. We are judged by color, the toys that we play with, the clothes that we wear as well the way we speak since we were young. Many people talk about gender equality but we’ve been categorized by our gender since we were in the womb. Eckert and McConnell-Ginet tell us that while we might find it normal to provide some visual representation of an infant’s sex like when hospital nurseries provide pink caps for girl’s and blue caps for boy’s, color coding has nothing to do with the infant’s medical treatment (737).…

    “Are you a man or a woman?” My answer to that question would be “I am human.” Apparently, that answer does not answer the question. But to me it does. Why if we are humans, which I assume everyone is, we must be identified into a variety of categories within categories?…

    Did you know that gender in an important topic in the United States? Also, there are many references to masculinity and femininity are not only limited to consumer goods but also to advertisements.

    ‘“Night to His Day’: The Social Construction of Gender,” Judith Lorber’s article written in the mid 90s, describes western societies as having two genders: men and women. Lorber explains that, while they not wholly separate genders, transvestities and transexuals are “crossover genders” (2007: 43) floating in between society’s two genders. Society’s framework for gender affects everything a person does from the moment that person is born, without them even knowing it. The clothes a person wears, the friends a person makes, the job that person ultimately does or does not get: all affected by gender.…

    The fear of the unknown has driven humans to act radically for centuries. In Greek mythology, citizens feared the wrath of the gods. Fear determined and shaped the citizen’s behavior, therefore the Greeks behaved accordingly, so punishment would not be placed on them. Imperialism is “a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force”. White Europeans invaded the African countryside in search of valuable materials, but disregarded the African’s humanity during their quest.…

    There have been many cases in which money has determined power and status. One such example was during the conversion of African tribes by Christian missionaries. In Chinua Achebe 's book, Things Fall Apart, the reader is told the tale of a village being slowly taken over by the Christian missionaries from England, from the point of view of one of the most revered men in the area, Okonkwo. Okonkwo has always been afraid of being perceived as weak, and this promotes him to fight against the opposing force that wants to ruin their way of life. Although the missionaries came for religious reasons, they also wished to "civilize" the area, so they installed their own government and began to improve the trading system, making much of their power…

    The missionaries had elaborate discussions with the Ibo people regarding religion, “Then the missionaries burst into song” (Achebe 146).The persuasion of the missionaries is shown, as they attempt to convert the Ibo people to Christianity with happy, upbeat, rollicking tunes of evangelism, a sect of Christianity. The missionaries confidently state “We have been sent by this great God to ask you to leave your ways and false gods and turn to Him so that you may be saved when you die” (Achebe 145). This quote expresses the mission of the imperialists. In Rudyard Kipling’s “The White Man’s Burden,” he writes “Take up the White Man’s burden--And reap his old reward” (1-3). Reaping his old reward symbolizes the acquisition of resources, which leads to the installation of markets as well as the implementation of commerce.…

    Judith Lorber (1994) describes gender as a type of institution that has established patterns of expectations for individuals based on whether they are male or female. She believes that gender affects individuals and their social interaction, gender is traceable, can be researched and examined. Gender establishes a set of expectations for us to follow and has a huge impact on social processes and its organization. This institution is purely based on a set of learned ideas that have shaped the way our society thinks and has nothing to do with our actual biology.…
