My Reflection Of Rights And Obligations

During the Renaissance the laws were fairly strict, especially for the girls, but for boys a little less strict.

The whole thinking about boys having right to be educated but not girls, just doesn´t sound right to me.It doesn´t makes sense. Another thing would be: if you look out today at the streets you would see boys and girls playing with each other, having fun, but during the R

enaissance there was

nothing such as that. Girls were not allowed to go out and play nor wear the type of clothes they choose to wear, but boys were allowed to. Also, only one son from each family was allowed to marry, just so the wealth wouldn´t be divided in too many. It was the same rules for the girls that only one daughter could marry and the rest had to live in a convent. However one fair thing among the boys was that they shared equally in the inheritance of there parents.

I felt really upset and sad when reading about how different possibilities girls and boys had at that time. It is totally unacceptable for me that girls could not learn and get the education that they needed and wished for, this is just not how humans are supposed to live. I think that boys and girls should have the same rights to do what they like. All people have the same value. Luckily this has changed and today boys and girls are treated equally in many parts of the world.
