Deductive and Inductive Theory Construction

There has been much controversy regarding feminism during recent decades and even though the contemporary society has reached a particularly advanced level when considering the idea of civilization, gender discrimination continues to occur in some areas. One's location is likely to be an important factor in making the respective individual more or less of a feminist. Geographic locations are thus essential in shaping a person's character and his or her determination to become a feminist. I believe that it is very likely for feminism to depend on factors such as geographic location, taking into account that many cultures are hesitant about accepting feminist ideas and some are even likely to use harsh criticism as a means to control or even to eradicate these respective ideas.

Even with this, Islamic groups have got actively involved in interpreting the Quran and have reached the conclusion that men are generally expected to provide for women. This would indicate that men are superior and that they thus need to use their superiority with the purpose of assisting women close to them.

My theory applies to women in Islamic communities in the Middle East and to women in the Western World. Islam has shaped many groups in these areas and has influenced people to believe that there is nothing wrong with considering that men are superior to women. While it would be wrong to say that Islam itself is responsible for the current condition concerning gender discrimination in the Middle East, it is only safe to say that the way its texts have been interpreted led to people getting the idea that they need to accept women as inferior.

In contrast to women in the Middle East, feminists in the West have achieved a great deal of success throughout the twentieth century and in recent….....
