Compare and Contrast the women in Aztec creation story and women in The Book of Genesis (The Holy Bible) creation story
Women have been the part of arts, philosophy, and theology since the history. Women and their creation has been a subject of interest and many myths and stories are affiliated with the creation of women. The paper compares and contrasts between the women in Aztec creation story and women in the Book of Genesis. There are a few universal roles of a woman. Like giving birth to children, raising kids and feeding them and taking care of the husband and his house. However, beyond this conventional role, there is a lot more than that a woman does and that she is expected to do. The traits of women as discussed in these two concepts are compared here. The woman is differently perceived in different societies based on her creation and role in the world. Some think that she is just a source of pleasure while others associate powers and authority with her. Some think she is a good luck and other considers her as a burden. The paper finds how Aztec philosophy and the Book of Genesis perceive woman similarly or differently.
Creationism
Aztecs believed that Enkidu, friend of Gilgamish was created by a goddess from water and clay (Aztec Creation Story, 2012). Bible and the Book of Genesis preach that woman, on the other hand, was created from the left rib of Adam (Women in the Book of Genesis, n.d.). The book says that it was Adam who was created from clay and water. Thus the two philosophies claim that human being was surely created from clay and water but bible says that man was directly created from mud and water while the women (Eve in terms of Bible and Enkidu as Aztecs say) was created from rib of her husband.
The creation as discussed by Book of Genesis says that "Now the earth was formless and empty." Hence unlike Aztec stories, the live according to Book first started in heaven and then in earth. Sun, moon, land, vegetation and rivers were created before the woman but this is in contradiction with Aztec philosophy where woman was created along with sun (Aztec Creation Myths, 2012). It was her birth that was considered her source of power. The Book of Genesis puts light on location of birth. The Adam and Eve were both created in Heaven but the Aztec stories only tell how they were created and not where they were created (Aztec Creation Myths, 2012). They were created big but it is not known where.
To/From
It is not only their creation that is doubtful in the minds of two philosophies but they also contradict on where they were created and where did they move. The Aztec creation story i.e. one that prevailed in ancient Mexico and nearby areas believe that the world was created after many fights. The Book of Genesis however only mentions peaceful birth of man and women (Lewis, n.d.). Aztecs believed that woman fought oceans and suns before she could start her proper journey. The goddesses created many heavenly bodies and then she created women. The Aztec creation story says that Tlaloc's sister was selected by gods to become the sun. Hence the journey of women started from wilderness and ended to be the heavenly body (Aztec Creation Myths, 2012). Bible on the other hand says that man and woman were created by God and let to enjoy lives in paradise where civilization was at its peak. They were forbidden to eat a fruit but according to Genesis 3, Eve ate the fruit of forbidden tree, and also asked Adam to eat it. On disobeying the words of God, they were asked to leave the heaven. Hence the journey of Eve started...

Value-Based Management (VBM) is a management philosophy that aims to achieve superior results (Niedell, 1996). This process measures performance by the value that is returned to shareholders.
