Gender Differences: Aztec Society

The role of men and women in the Aztec societies of Meso-America.

The expectations for men and women differ in Aztec society because the society was a male dominated society (paternalisms). The father the sons the men had the responsibility to hold the family and keep his family in order. The Father was the bread-maker of the family. As a warring state the Aztec had warriors and these warriors were usually males. Warriors held great esteem in their society and were greatly respected. Women on the other hand were housewives the ruler of the house chores and her children. They have to take care of the children and be the teacher.

The roles for men and women in Aztec society differ from our society because in our society men and women had same right to be in the military. In the Aztecs usually the men were the head of the family. Nowadays that is different men and women could be the head of the family. Rulers in the Aztec empire were usually women, but in the society we live in men and women could be leaders due to their knowledge and leadership skills.

The Aztecs did share the same characteristics as our own and other historical societies. Values and morals were deemed very important in all societies all throughout the world. No matter where you are the morals and values were important. Values like sincerity, compassion, sympathy, diligent, vigilant, agile, solicitousness, good reputation, respectfulness, and etc. These values were used in many societies back then and still used today.
