The Role of Women in Our Modern Society
A girl becomes a woman, a woman becomes a wife, a woman becomes a mother, a woman becomes a grandmother, a woman becomes a relative.
So, woman are still equals to men because without them they can not reproduce.
Women are equal to men that is one of the basics of human rights. What does this mean? Was there a time when men and women were not equal and what is it to be a woman. Women are viewed as girls, mothers, wives, grandmothers, relatives and friends.
When a girl is born her room is often painted in pink and her cloths are the same colour. Pink is the light colour of red, the color of blood. This is because women have to reproduce and make children. Red has been a controversial colour during the Communist era because it was the emblem. Women are mothers. They bear there babies in their womb for no more than nine months. A woman can have multiple births and they get help from the Government when it happens to them.
Wives become wives by going to the Mayor and or Church to have their wedding registered. The wives have many things to do in order to have a descent wedding. This means that most of the time they have to inform to others about their wedding, receive gifts and say thank you in return. A wedding list is difficult to make. That is why there is now wedding consultants. They often work in malls. In case of weddings, there is often the question of bread winner. In most societies the man and the woman don’t work and this is hard to understand because unless you are a well known lawyer how can your wife stay at home.
Some economists have thought about this. There are some economist which are against divorce, others that favour divorce and others that favor no marriage. Grandmothers are the guardian of traditions and often they keep the grandchildren while their parents are away. A woman is also a relative and a friend and this is the hardest part. As a relative a woman is judged by how she behaves and gives advice. And as a friend a woman is a confident who is ready to alleviate sufferings by showing her love. The Beijing Summit organized by the United Nations is an example on how women have attracted the attention of the world on their situation. The famous representations of women who have are the Little Mermaid, Empress Elizabeth of Austria and Germany (“Sissi”) and Liz Taylor for example.

no offense intended but you rambled alot throughout about economists and such but they are really not relevant to the topic. anyway it is the man’s responsibility to make sure that the wife and children are cared for.
In essence as the head of the household, the man is held accountable if something occurs that disrupts the well being of his family.
The problem with today’s society is the fact that people don’t respect(or most times even know) what the role of each in the relationship should be. A marriage is a partnership, The man as the head of the household is supposed to give his wife the guidance she needs to thrive peacefully in Happiness and Love
At the same time the wife should help her husband, in doing so their life and relationship together will grow . However, if she is constantly nagging the husband rather than helping him to build their lives together, or if he is constantly berating her,then the marriage will not be successful.
It really comes down to mutual Love and respect.

No offense Maisaa-your grammar is atrocious and you write like how you speak.
As for John’s comment, food for thought-your ideas are archaic. In today’s society and the historical influences that ‘man’ should be the provider is often not the case. In marriage it is a give and take situation or rather a ‘reciprocal’ one, one that allows equal hearing of each others’ vision/opinions on things.
What it really comes down to it is about mutual love and respect but also honesty, similar vision and background on how to bring up the children, how you both see each other in the far future, the ability to communicate these things etc.

i think you have explained more about gender socialisation and women in traditional societies than being relevant to the subject.But still i could gather some information fron your article.

i am fully agreed that women’s have major role to make the person to be a still complete man and gives impression in their life to be always humble to solve the matter for unsolved things because there is lot unsolved views around every single men’s life where he always think it what he has to do. I think if men needs more progress he must listion to women much more in their life. Women’s have a vital role in our life and I agree for that when my wife came to my life i got totally feel changed in my life that ever before.

its not right that a woman should be a mans slave

At no point in time did this rambling identify any key points that are relevant to the impact that a modern woman has on society today. Equality is formed by the wedding rings that are worn by the couple and in no way should a man enslave a woman and visa versa. Both men and women should acknowlege each others strengths and weakness’s and thus aide each other in their goals and dreams. A true couple will see this and in todays society, it takes two to raise a faimily, make a house a home, and ultimatly live a life that is worth living. Try harder next time.

This article is absolutly horrible. The lack of sentance structure and topic consistancy makes it incredibly hard to follow, that is if any one were to desire to do so at all. The contents of this rambling had absolutly no relevance to the topic posted above it. This was a waste of time in my Sociology research, but maybe i could use it as an example of the dire need for education among our youth in a later asignment.

by the way, women couldnt reproduce without teh contribution of men either. I realize the burden of childbirth lies with the female,however, how can any woman legitimately sugest taht she feel discriminated about by this? Not only is anatomical design not the fault of the male gender, but women become emotionally bonded with their child before child birth even begins. So how can you resent the act in one sentance, but deeply love the direct relation to it in another.

The role of women in our society has changed significantly in the past three decades. Women and girls have many more opportunities and face different challenges. The playing field is not level, but neither is gender bias as institutionalized as it once was.
Women who have achieved great stature in government, industry, sports, and the media have become a familiar sight. And yet, it appears that there is no clear public understanding of the realities of women’s and girls’ lives in this country.
Participants appear to hold contradictory beliefs about many aspects of women’s and girls’ lives.
For instance, participants believe that fewer women work but more women head up households. While a majority (73%) of participants said that a smaller proportion of women was in the labor force (in 1997, 74% of all women between the ages of 25 and 54 were in the labor force), a majority (62%) also indicated that more households are headed by women (in 1997, 30% of households were headed by women).
Participants also seem to believe that fewer women and children live in poverty, in spite of also believing that women earn significantly less than men. Although nearly half (45%) of participants said that women earned less than three-fourth as much as men (in 1997, women’s weekly earnings were 75% of men’s), an overwhelming majority (79%) said that women and children accounted for a smaller fraction of people in poverty (in 1997, women and children represented 80% of the people living in poverty). More than half of participants (51%) also underestimated the rate of teen pregnancy in this country (in 1995, one in ten American girls between the ages of 15 and 19 became pregnant).
The results further suggest that the public perceives that women have advanced further professionally but does not recognize the extent of women’s educational achievements. More than half (52%) of participants answered that a smaller proportion of girls enrolled in college (in 1996, 70% of girls who graduated from high school enrolled in college the following fall), while 58% of participants indicated that women represented larger percentages of professionals and corporate executives (in 1997, 30% of doctors and lawyers and 10% of engineers and Fortune 500 officers were women).
In a similar vein, the participants indicated that more women are involved in government but are less involved as citizens. While 41% of the participants said that the proportion of women in the 106th Congress was higher (in 1999, women held 13% of the seats in the 535-member 106th Congress), 42% of participants answered that a smaller fraction of women voted (in 1992 and 1994, 80% of women registered to vote actually voted in the national elections).
Finally, 46% of participants underestimated girls’ involvement in sports (in 1997, 42% of high school girls participated in at least one school-sponsored sport
