Then France was pulled in because of the Triple Entente, and then Britain. That made it a European war. Because of Britains many colonies, overseas countries like Australia and Canada joined in. Japan joined the war because of a military agreement with Britain. The USA declared war with Germany and Austria-Hungary on April 6 and December 7 1917 respectively. Hence, the First World War was caused by a fight between two major Euopean alliances, each of which had colonies overseas also fighting, and then other nations joining in because of its huge scale. The responsibility should be shared, but not equally shared, as Germany's ruthlessness is what caused the original European war, which escalated to form the First World War.

Although, the division of household chores varies widely among families, as a group, men are assuming more responsibility for grocery shopping, cooking, and meal clean up. Men's share of household cleaning, laundry, and other repetitive indoor tasks has increased only modestly.

perpetuating the status quo of society. The Prophets advocated a pro-active stance to reforming social structures by emphasizing the broad themes of justice, equality and peace during a time when these concepts were of secondary importance compared to observance of law and ritual. The Prophets were actively concerned with bettering the plight of the poor, the needy and the oppressed and did so by challenging the authority figures of society.The prophetic vision included the Tikkun Olam. This means repair/transformation of the world. Tikkun olam is the notion that if a person saves another human being it is as if that person had saved the whole world. The overarching principle of tikkun olam in Jewish ethics is intimately connected with the idea of social justice. The implication of this notion is that all individuals have the dual responsibility of rectifying inequalities in society by helping the poor and needy, and acting as a steward by caring for the earth.

The introduction of Islam by Muhammad had a dramatic effect on the improvement of the status of women and their rights as people. The condition of women has progressed, at much the same rate as the rest of advanced society, since the conversion to Islam.
