Task 3 Historical Context Research

Aretha Franklin- respect 1967

this song was from a womens perspective aboout respect and recognition from partners

different to my contemporary text as Neyos Miss Independent shows how respect is gained and how these women are more desirable because of their ability to stand their ground. Also it could be as sign that we shouldnt respect men any less (emascuated men) if they're working under women and are inferior to them. In Rihannas Hard it could be argued she already has her respect because she acts like the lads gambling away and says:

'And I want it all
It's gonna take more than that
Hope that ain't all you got
Baby all you got
I need it all
The money, the fame, the cars, the clothes'

These materialistic things are what men are concerned about typically challenging the female sterotype of being too focused on love etc. Contrasts with the respect lyrics:

'All I'm askin' (oo)
Is for a little respect when you come home'

This shows us the womans place is at home and we can see the clear change in society now as its more acceptaable to work due to laws ike the sex discrimation act and from a marxist feminist perspective women are thought to absorb mens anger from their oppression at work which colud be the case here.

the similarities is the whole idea of whoever is stronger,and dominant has the most respect so this puts them in the driving seat.
