MORE HOURS:

Why do women work more than men? It's unfair 'cos everybody has the same obligations and rights.
As i see it in most families, when men arrives home, they sit on chair and relax while their wives do the washing, ironing, cleaning, cooking and take care of the children.
Therefore women always are more tired than men.
In my view men should help their wives in the housework as a result women didn't work lonely.
Nobody see that problem and didn't value the hard women's work and nobody pay that!!!
But it's our blame 'cos we, women, want to be independent, that is why we have more work.
women worked like a mother, a wife, housewife and other jobs.
Nowadays it's diferent from the past as our grandma only worried for being housework and they had other culture.
I don't believe that husbands are so tired.
Finally i wish this could change when the young people grow and have a big family..

bye teacher :)

Women’s and men’s jobs?

As I see it, women can do all the men’s jobs very well, however, men must continue doing the hardest work.
First of all, women are as clever as men, so they can work in offices and banks. Besides, they are more attractive and polite. For example, if a client wants to deposit money in a bank and an attractive secretary talks to him, I’m sure he’ll do it, but if the secretary is a man, the things could be different. If the client is angry, it could be a problem for women because they are sentimentally weaker than men, so they can’t argue with the customers. A lot of women prefer to work in “men’s jobs” like mechanic and firemen, but in my view it isn’t necessary and it’s too dangerous because they aren’t as strong as men. Besides, women complain about all the things, all the time, therefore, they couldn’t support as much physical effort. As I see it, women must work in common jobs for them, like secretary or shop assistant, because it’s a good way to spend free time and earn some extra money.
In conclusion, women are good at women’s jobs, but they can’t do men’s jobs because they’re too weak. That is why I strongly feel that women must do only women’s jobs to earn extra money, which is important in a modern family.

Nowadays, the most discussed issue is about men, women and household chores. There is only a question: should the men help more in the housework?.
In my point of view, when two people get married and go to live tougether, thwy must share the activities for having a good relationship.
In the past, women could´t work because the society said that they had to stay at home, but today all women make changes and in these days a lot of women can work. I quite disagree wht this because if the woman goes to work, how look after the children?. Many women way that men are lazy because when they arrive at home, they only want to relax while the women have to do all the hosehold chores alone. Well, we have to think that the men´s job is strnger and harder than women´s job.
For instance, a man works in a factory, where the temperatures are very high in summer and very cold in winter and woman works in a office or shool. This is a very big diference ad for that men want to relax.
On the other hand, i strongly believe that men sometimes could help with activities like order the dirty clothes, the objects and do the washers.
I am convinced that a man and a woman have an activity un common, the children. I also thnik the women have the right for workand this is very good for the humanity, but the must think that are he family column. That is why the woman is very important.
In conclusion, i can say three things, the first isthat the household chores have to be shared, the second´s the women´s role in the working world is very important and the third one, we must accept all point of wiew.

WHAT HAPPENED IF WOMEN WERE MORE LIKE MEN??


IN OUR SOCIETY MEN AND WOMEN PLAY VERY IMPORTANT PARTS. FROM THEIR FIRST MOMENTS GIRLS AND BOYS ARE DIFFERENT. FOR EXAMPLE, GIRLS GET THE DOLLS AND BOYS THE CARS. THEY HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ATTITUDE IN LIFE. MEN ARE LESS EMOTIONAL, BUT MORE DETERMINED, WHEREAS WOMEN PLAY THE MORE DEPENDET ROLE IN OUR SOCIETY. BUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WOMEN ARE MORE LIKE MEN?
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MANKIND, MEN HOLD THE TOP-POSITIONS IN JOBS SUCH AS MARKETING, FINANCE OR POLITICS WHILE WOMEN STAY AT HOME FEEDING BABIES. THAT'S THE REASON THAT WOMEN ARE MORE SENSITIVE TO THE FEELINGS OF OTHERS AND WORK AS TEACHERS, NURSES OR SOCIAL-WORKERS BUT IF WOMEN WERE MORE LIKE MEN THEY WOULD GET THE BEST-PAID JOBS. I KNOW THAT THE MOST LEADING POLITICIANS ARE MEN AND THEY'RE THE ONES WHO START WARS, SO IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WOMAN WOULD PROBABLY STOP CONFLICTS BETWEEN SOCIETIES. OF COURSE THE MALE ATTITUDE TO POLITICS CAN BE POSITIVE TOO, AS THEY ACT RATIONALLY. BUT IF OUR WORLD CONSIST PURELY OF PEOPLE WHO TRY TO SHOW AS LITTLE EMOTION AS POSIBLE THERE WOULD BE A HORRIBLE WORLD.
IN ADDITION, WHEN CHILDREN ARE GROWING UP, THEY HAVE TO RECIEVE BENEFIT FROM THEIR MOTHERS AND FATHERS. MOTHERS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MORE SENSITIVE AND CARING PARENT. ON THE OTHER HAND, FATHERS ARE MORE PRACTICAL AND DEMANDING. ALTHOUGH, NOWADAYS MEN START TO BE MORE SENSITIVE THAN THEY USED TO BE.
MOREOVER, LIFE WOULD BE VERY BORING WITHOUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN. WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME OF OUR LIFE TRYING TO UNDERSTANTD THE OPPOSITE GENRE.
WHEN CHILDREN TURN INTO TEENAGERS, MUCH TIME IS SPENT IN GROUPS WITH FRIENDS OF THE SAME GENRE, DISCUSSING THE OPPOSITE.
TO MY WAY OF THINKING, IF GIRLS WERE LIKE BOYS MANY CONVERSATIONS WOULDN'T EXIST: FOR INSTANCE, GIRLS WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT MAKE-UP AND CLOTHES AND BOYS WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT THE FOOTBALL SCORES OR SKATEBOARDING. ON THE TOP OF THAT, LIFE BECOME LESS EXCITING THAN IT'S AT THE MOMENT.
THAT IS WHY I STRONGLY FEEL THAT WOMEN SHOULDN'T BECOME MORE LIKE MEN. PERSONALLY SPEAKING, MEN SHOULD LEARN THAT SHOWING EMOTION ISN'T NECESSARILY NEGATIVE, BUT THEY HAVEN'T SHOWED IT MORE THAN WOMEN.
TO SUM UP, I THINK LIFE SHOULD STAY AS IT IS.


:D

PERSONALLY SPEAKING, I THINK THAT WOMEN AND MEN HAVE GOT DIFFERENT PHYSICAL CHARACTERS. CONSEQUENTLY I BELIEVE THAT THEY MUST DO DIFFERENT JOBS.
IN GENERAL, MEN ARE TALLER AND HARDER THAN WOMEN, THEY HAVE GOT BIGGER HANDS AND HUGGER BACKS THAN WOMEN SO THEY MUST DO HARDER JOBS.
HOWEVER, RECENTLY THE ROLES HAVE CHANGED DUE TO SOCIAL PROBLEMS, FOR EXAMPLE, WIFE AND HUSBAND HAVE TO WORK OUT TO SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES AND BOTH DO EASY AND HARD JOBS.
IN THE PAST WOMEN STAYED MORE TIME DOING HOUSEWORK ,FOR EXAMPLE, THEY DID THE WASHING UP, DID THE ERRANDS, CLEANING.
IN CONCLUSION, ON MY POINT OF VIEW THESE CHANGES WERE POSITIVE AND EQUAL, BUT NOW WE, WOMEN, MUST DO JOBS THE SAME LIKE AS MEN!.

Nowadays the vision that women are only for household chores is changing.
If we rewind sixty or seventy years we could find that women were married very young, then, they had children and from that moment until they died, all of them had to do only household chores while their husbands worked out and earned money to support the family. Personally I think that situation was very stupid because the woman was an object and also her feelings were ignored.
In the last decades women started to go out to work for several reasons: they were single or because they hadn´t enough money, or just because they liked it. However, we usually see that women are discriminated in their jobs: if they have the same job as men, the last ones receives more money; and sometimes women have to work with the same force of a man, and that is unhealthy; as well as for single mothers it´s very dificult to support their own house, to look for their children and to try to have a confortable life.
I strongely feel taht is complety unfair when men say that women don´t know how to drive and it is offensive to hear that some men prefer football to women. If we talk of something more serious it´s very sad to see that in some countries women are still objects, nobody can´t change that because it´s a religion matter, but I´m convinced that the majority of women feel sadness for them.
In short, I think that men should help women to protect them so as not to make negative gender differencies in any field.

At present do women continue being discriminated?
In the last years women were discriminated because men thought that they were weaker and stupid.
They couldn�t go out to work and they couldn�t live as they wanted.
Nowadays, they are accepted in the society: doing the housework and going out to work as well.
At present, women are more intelligent than men and their roles have changed a lot.
In my opinion, discrimination should stop because all the people are equal.
They should get equal treatment and opportunities...

I think that man works in the house because te woman works out, and this is dificult because the man must wash clothes, wash the dishes, preparing food, and clean the house; those jobs must be for a woman, but now, the man must do it. The woman has rights to go out to work, in the past only men could do it.

in my view, women and men should get eqyual pay, bat the truth is that discrimination exists in every parts of the world.
it seems to me that, if women and men do the same work, the salary should be same too.
in the past, only worked men in the family, but slowly women were getting in the labour world too; and nowadays the mayority of the women work in the different areas, but the society not always accepts it, and at present it isn't pssible to believe it.
to my way of thinking, women should get equal pay as men and could receive a remuneration for doing the housework every day.
