how has this country changed over time?
education
This graph depicts the mean years in school for women in their reproductive years against the expenditure per student, zoning in on only New Zealand.
|
This is a screenshot of the expenditure per student versus the mean years in school for women in their reproductive age. This shows that from the turn of the century, the percentage of expenditure per student has wavered and is currently lower even though the mean years for women in their reproductive age has improved. This shows that New Zealand's women are on the right path to full educational opportunities.

energy
This screenshot puts into perspective the change of energy production per person and energy use per person in New Zealand since 2000. Since the turn of the century, the energy use per person has actually decreased where the energy production per person and increased. This is exactly the trend that is desired because it means that New Zealand is putting to use their natural resources and alternative methods of energy use as well as declining the overall need of energy per person.

health and economy
This screenshot displays the changes in life expectancy and income per person in New Zealand from 1800 to 2011. The life expectancy and income per person did not change until around 1870 and this could be due to the fact that the British didn't come until after 1840 and had a longer lifespan than the native Maori had. The increase in life expectancy as well as income per person is related to the British population growing in New Zealand.

population
All four of these screenshots display the population of New Zealand. 1769 was a big year for the country of New Zealand because it was first mapped and made widely known to the British. The population from then to 1840 when the Maori people and the British Crown signed the Waitangi Treaty barely changed, by only 30,000. Since the British were openly welcome to settle in New Zealand, the population changed from 70,000 in 1840 to 1.24 million in 1920. Gaining popularity even in the current day from this newly discovered country, the current population is over 4.5 million.
society and work
This is a graphic representation of the employment rate of citizens over age 15 against the Human Development Index of New Zealand.

This is a graph of change in New Zealand's Human Development Index and employment rate of citizens aged 15 and older. The graph shows an increase in the HDI as well as in the employment rate since 1990. For New Zealand this proves that jobs are becoming more widely available as well as an improvement in over life for its citizens.

Societal roles of men and women
In almost every country men and women have had different societal roles as that country was developing, but over time the differences have parted. In New Zealand, this is the case. In the mid 1800’s when missionaries began to take root in New Zealand, the population was dominantly men. This was because the jobs were jobs for men; whalers, sealers and traders. When the Europeans began to call New Zealand home, more women began to make the journey because their passages were subsidized to encourage a more diverse population. Parliament, male ruled until 1919, smiled upon women as mothers and homemakers and men as the workers.
The work force of New Zealand was called the “men’s world” because men had higher wages for the same work women were doing until it was deemed illegal in 1960 in the public sector and 1972 in the private sector. During the Second World War, New Zealand women took up work in a labor force taking on jobs previously done by men. When the war ended, men came home, got married, and settled down. Most housewives took home in cities due to the fact that it was easier to make friends and that their husbands had a broader choice of work that was less physically straining.
It wasn’t until the mid 1900’s when men and women became aware of their own sex. In the 1960’s a women’s liberation movement sparked giving women their place in society for good. Magazines began to get gender specific as well as radio stations. Until the 1920’s women didn’t have public restrooms and until the 1970’s public bars were male only. Marriage for men and women also dramatically changed. During the mid 1800’s, a married couple was one until legally controlled by the husband. The women’s money and property became her husband’s while the woman could not touch the man’s money and property. Women could not divorce and rape in marriage wasn’t even illegal until 1985. When it came to schooling, boys and girls both went to school but mothers saw it unnecessary to send their daughters to school due to the fact that they were only taught domestic science and not academic subjects until the late 1900’s.
In current day New Zealand, men still hold the fact that they are the primary breadwinners and that their female counterparts are the homemakers. Although the wages of work are still not fair for men and women, there is more commonality between the two genders in society.

status of women in new zealand
New Zealand women have hit the ground running when it comes to equality between their rights and their male counterparts’ rights. New Zealand was the first country to grant women the right to vote in 1893 and since then, the ball has continued rolling in not only the political world, but in all aspects of life (ECOSOC, 1997).
Women in New Zealand are all different races, according to the last census, “just under 78 percent were identified as being of European descent. Maori, the indigenous population were around 15 percent, Pacific peoples are 7 percent and Asian 9 percent” (“New zealand women,”). New Zealand women are all very unique which brings along specific trials each must face in the modern world, especially for the indigenous population of Maori women.
Maori women’s role in society has always been statistically lower than other ethnic groups in New Zealand. This is because they spend more time caring for their households and doing voluntary and community work than any other group of women (“Maori women,”). Due to their traditions and beliefs, their statistics are generally lower, but it doesn’t mean that they aren’t making vast improvements. Although still behind the European women, the Maori have witnessed improvements in school participation, participation in the labor force, and improvements in health outcomes (“Maori women,”). Economically, Maori women have always taken the bottom percentage because their traditions kept them out of the work force. In the modern day, Maori women are making vast improvements that can be made through New Zealand’s defense system against gender discrimination.
New Zealand is ranked sixth out of 135 countries in the Global Gender Gap report for 2011 and fifth out of 187 countries in the Human Development Index” (“New zealand women,”). With New Zealand as a top women’s rights contender, women are proud of their rights and protection against discrimination in their own country. Such protection is noticed especially in education, employment, and in health.
Education plays such a large role in women’s lives, especially those of young women. In New Zealand, women are outperforming men when it comes to education. Women participation continues to rise at very high levels within ethnical groups with generally low participation and the overall number of women leaving school with at least a level 2 completion is rapidly increasing (“New zealand women,”). The discrepancy in education for New Zealand is currently a 5-10% difference between males and females at the secondary education level. There is also no legal, but some cultural educational restrictions for females in New Zealand, but like mentioned before, New Zealand women come from many unique and different backgrounds and different traditions inhibit all women from attending school. The Discrepancy in Education map (Figure 1) displays New Zealand against the rest of the world which goes to show that although there is a small discrepancy, there are still majorly developed countries that experience a bigger difference such as China. Not only are more and more women involved in the New Zealand education system, but improvements in the employment of women have been noticed too.
When it comes to women and the economy, it is known that “the majority of women earn on average about three-fourths of the pay of males for the same work, outside of the agricultural sector, in both developed and developing countries” as well as the fact that “in most countries, women work approximately twice the unpaid time men do” (ECOSOC, 1997). Such statistics ring remotely true in New Zealand, although things are changing. The New Zealand labor force participation rate for women has been steady around 62 percent whereas men are near 75 percent (“New zealand women,”). This difference can be seen in Figure 2a and Figure 2b. The unemployment rate for women in New Zealand, 7.1 percent, is higher than that of men, 6.3 percent, due to the fact that the unemployment rate is the highest in Maori women (“New zealand women,”). Mentioned twice before, certain cultural restrictions play a key role in New Zealand’s statistics, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that women are being discriminated in the workplace. Although women have lower employment rates and higher unemployment rates, “New Zealand’s gender pay gap is the second lowest in the OECD at 9.3 percent in 2012” (“New zealand women,”). Even though it is the second lowest, women are completing countless more hours in unpaid work than men in New Zealand, “about 63 percent women's work is unpaid and 35 percent of men's work is unpaid” (“New zealand women,”). While traditions hold women to community service, it has been noticed that more and more women are working their way into the professional work force in New Zealand. Women’s drive in New Zealand as well as the country’s record of nondiscrimination makes it one of the best countries for women to work.
Not only is New Zealand one of the best countries for women to work, it is also one of the best countries for women to live a healthy life. Women in general “outlive men in almost every country”, and women in New Zealand are no exception (ECOSOC, 1997). Health outcomes are continuously improving for women due to advancements and improved access to primary care and maternity services (“New zealand women,”). Increases in breast and cervical cancer screening are being conducted as well as immunization programs. All these factors greatly contribute to the low rates of mortality in women. Not only are more and more women guaranteed a healthy life in New Zealand, so are their unborn children. Maternal mortality in New Zealand is one of the lowest percentages across the globe. Looking at Figure 3, New Zealand witnesses 0-10 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. This number is even lower than in the United States where medicine is so advanced and technology advanced. Women in New Zealand live a very healthy life, but they can also live a very public life due to the large percentage of women allowed in New Zealand’s political field.
Yes, New Zealand was the first country to allow women to vote and since then, New Zealand’s political scene has flourished in thanks to women. Governmental participation by women includes 40-50% of parliament positions being held by New Zealand’s women (as seen in Figure 4). This is one of the highest percentages seen throughout the world. New Zealand has as much as 30% high participation of women in politics than the United States do. When it coms to women being able to have authority over whole countries, it is recognized as a huge honor. This is because since the beginning of time, men have been deemed the rulers and masters, but now that is changing. It can easily be witnessed in political roles where women are sometimes in charge of men. The typical ‘man is dominant’ gender stereotype has been broken not only in New Zealand’s political field, but also in many aspects of everyday life.
In comparison with the rest of the world, New Zealand women bare witness to such great opportunities with no discrimination attached. Women are allowed, and welcome, to take place alongside their male counterparts in key aspects of life. In the field of education, in the workplace, in the health field, and in government and political roles, New Zealand women are blessed with their status in society. In such proximity to New Zealand, surrounding countries could only hope and pray to have such equality between men and women in their own societies. The status of women in New Zealand just proves how great and nondiscriminatory of a country it is to live, work, play, and grow a family.
Women in New Zealand are all different races, according to the last census, “just under 78 percent were identified as being of European descent. Maori, the indigenous population were around 15 percent, Pacific peoples are 7 percent and Asian 9 percent” (“New zealand women,”).

religious spreading (paragraph 1)
anglicanism start and spread
Religions start in a particular location and then spread. Anglicanism is the name given to The Church of England. Augustine of Canterbury brought Anglicanism’s roots to England in the late 5th and early 6th centuries. Anglicanism became popular when Henry VIII dissolved the Catholic churches during his Protestant Reformation. The Anglican Church is a worldwide fellowship, which stems from the original Church of England. Anglican Churches mostly dominate countries with previous Britain political domination.
("Abc," 2011) (Cline, 2012)
("Abc," 2011) (Cline, 2012)
catholic start and spread
Catholicism traces its history all the way to Jesus of Nazareth around Jerusalem. Decades after the resurrection of Jesus, a universal Catholic Church was created. His apostles spread far and wide. The Roman Empire deserves many thanks for making it the official religion of one of the largest empires. Although the Catholic Church experienced decline from King Henry VIII, the Catholic Church presents its self all over the globe.
(Bellitto & Stewart, 2011)
(Bellitto & Stewart, 2011)
presbyterian start and spread
The Presbyterianism church is a branch of the Protestant church. Presbyterianism adheres to Calvinist traditions. The Presbyterian Church originated in Scotland. From Scotland it passed into England and North America by Scottish immigrants. The Scottish Reformation and the European Reformation of the 16th century are at thanks for spreading the Presbyterian Church. John Calvin of Geneva is also accredited with spreading Presbyterianism.

("Religion facts," 2010)
religion's role in social development of new zealand (paragraph 2)
New Zealand's population is so diverse bringing a very diverse group of religions along with it. Starting with the Maori people until British began calling it home, more and more diverse cultures are calling it home every year. Immigrants from non-traditional sources (such as Korea, South Africa and Taiwan as well as a number of Middle Eastern and African countries) have been growing in number, changing New Zealand's already diverse religious world. Such increasing diversity proves to be mostly a positive factor for social development. "The creativity, innovation and challenge to accepted wisdoms that emerge from diversity have the potential to advance the way we do business, work, trade, and enjoy our social and family lives" ("Ministry of social," n.d.). Increased religious as well as cultural diversity also has its bad effects. Such non-traditional immigrants may prove to affect the acceptance of diversity rate as well as social isolation among various religious groups. Although there will always be negative risks along with religious diversity, in New Zealand religious diversity plays a positive role in the social development of the country.
("Ministry of social," n.d.)
("Ministry of social," n.d.)
RELIGIOUS SACRED PLACES (PARAGRAPH 3)
anglican sacred places
Anglicans believe that any ground is holy if God is present there, and God is present everywhere. Anglicans see all space as equal and that wherever worship occurs, Christ is among them in that time and place making nearly everywhere sacred. This means that Anglicans' sacred places can include New Zealand if worship is happening.
(Dawn, n.d.)
(Dawn, n.d.)
catholic sacred places
The Catholics' sacred places include Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Rome, Fatima, Nazareth, Canterbury, Lourdes and Guadalupe. No major Catholic sacred place is found within the country of New Zealand.
(Feeney, 2013)
(Feeney, 2013)
presbyterian sacred places
Very similar beliefs to the Anglicans. They have no distinct sacred grounds as Catholics do, but they believe that all ground is holy of God's spirit is among them there.
connection between religion and government (paragraph 4)
Since New Zealand is known for its diversity, the same rule applies to diversity of religions. Although New Zealand is a dominantly Christian country, many other religious groups call it home. Such religious diversity is good for social development, but not so much for government. Because there are so many religious beliefs to be careful of, government walks a very fine line. Since New Zealand has been a dominant Christian country, such beliefs are seen in many laws, public holidays and national anthem. This poses a threat to the government for many people because there is only one religion being followed for these legal happenings. Since diversity is such a big role in New Zealand society, government can't please every religion present.(Ahdar & Stenhouse, 2000)
