Formal Institutions are institutions that are officially established in one way or
another. The government itself is an example and other government agencies, the

formal institutions are business corporations, labor unions, and religious
organizations.
Informal Institutions are not officially established, but are commonly accepted
throughout society like practices, standard or label of behavior. These apply to all
types of activity such as social, cultural, political, and economic. Some examples

DISCUSSIONS
FEMINIST THEORY
Feminism primarily is a western notion. Women’s presence is perceived over
men viewpoint. Consequently, women are measured as inferior. Women were force
to do their traditional duty like being housewives, and not given the right to
education and other legal rights. Deborah Madsen stated “Feminism stands for
women status in society and demands about gender consciousness and
oppression.” The concerns of feminist theory are the description of gender that
bound and dominate women and the basis of women’s freedom from those
constraints. Feminism emanates its existence for the fight for women's right
counter to the prejudice existing in the society. Feminism implicates two key facets
of rational obligation and political undertaking that brought justice for women and
put an end to sexism in all kinds.

The second wave of feminism began in 1960s. It stressed social, cultural,
and political inequality to women in the society. This wave in feminism revealed
diverse scopes of feminism based on women practices and stand. It comprised
vigorous involvement of women economically ahead of World War II. This period
was the beginning of women education and women involvement on civil rights and
radical issues attached to young women culture change. It made women aware of
sexual discrimination which led to resistance. Therefore, sexual liberation and
reproduction rights of women became fundamental issues.
The third wave of feminism or Post-feminism also started in the 1960s and
flourished in the 21st century. It looked into the relation of language and gender;
also tackled issues attached to discrimination of women in the publication arena
and covered the facet of multiculturalism and competition. It contested the
dominating sort of white feminism has a strong message concerning several
conception of awareness in the society. It was a protest which happened in the
1980s that lifted the issues like class, race, culture and sexuality that explicated
numerous identities of women.
To the feminist normative view of “Gender Ideology”, conveys that women are
viewed as inferior to men in a system of society dominated by men. According to
International Encyclopedia of the Social and Behavioral Sciences (2001) gender
ideology described as masculine and feminine behaviors, and social roles. The
normative meaning of gender ideology needs to have distinction from biological
“sex” association and behavioral “gender” orientation. These two concepts are
understood differently based on the meaning attached to it by the person.
On the other hand, “Gender Inequality” for feminism focuses on the rights and
freedoms for women and girls of all ages in the society. Feminist groups claimed
that human rights they inherent is traditional bias in favor of men and boys. The
concepts of women’s rights is not only focused on marital, parental, and religious
14
rights but also to enter to legal contracts, own property, right to suffrage, be
educated, hold public office, fair wages and equal work opportunities for women.
