The country of Saudi Arabia is located in the Middle East. In this country, women have little rights and freedoms. The women there can't do anything to change this because of the strict Islamic law put in place. Women can't drive, be seen outside by themselves, and must cover themselves from head to toe. While the women don't have any of these rights and freedoms Men do. This culture like many others in the east believe that men are superior to women. I rate this country a 4. I rated this country a 4 because to us westerners this culture is very traditional but through these peoples eyes this is modern. The women of Marrakech have just a little more rights then these people do because they can dance in public and drive. In both of these cultures women have the right to education. I think this cultures women have less rights than China because the women in China can go around by themselves while the women in Saudi Arabia can't also women in China are permitted to drive.

The Woodani women on the other hand are equally treated but they are separated. These women are treated the same as any other man young or old. Which is very different from Chinese, Marrakech, and Saudi Arabian women. The Woodani have the most modern gender roles from all the rest mentioned. I think Modern gender roles benefit society more because men are not the best at everything women are better in some areas as well. Where everyone is equal men or women.
