O carlos' and joseph's

Answer 1

In patriarchal societies, Carlos' work as a llama tender and Martina's work as a midwife would likely be accorded more prestige than Rosa's work with crops and Joseph's work as a nurse, due to traditional valuation of public over domestic roles and men's work over women's.

Step-by-step explanation:

Home and carries economic or political influenc

In patriarchal societies, work that is viewed as outside the home and carries economic or political influence tends to be given more prestige. Given the information provided, Carlos' work as a llama tender in Colombia and Martina's work as a midwife in the Netherlands would likely be viewed with more prestige compared to Rosa's work in crops and Joseph's work as a nurse.

While both caregiving and agricultural roles are crucial, in a traditional patriarchal society, jobs with perceived public importance or specialization, such as Martina's midwifery, are often respected more. Additionally, occupations held by men are often more valued in patriarchal societies, which could further enhance the prestige of Carlos' work. That said, contemporary perspectives challenge this view, arguing for the value of all forms of work, including those traditionally undertaken by women or within the home.
