An Equal World

What is going on with this new society that we are building day by day?It is upside down or it is only a new view throught life?Are sexes acting in a different way? As we have seen, roles of men and women are in constant movement, they change every minute; and as a consequence of this, experts say that both sexes need of each other to survive.
It is no fashionable to be chauvinistic any more, that couldn't be accepted today. We are not living in the 50s, where girls were marriedat the age of eighteen and they grew up in a society with a menhtality very different from ours. They have to live for their husbands and dedicate their whole life to their children and house-keeping; but fortunately that has changed. Women and men have to be treated equally.
Nowadays it is necessary for both to be tough and tender; so in this way they could be albe to develop their qualities as parents, workers and citizens better. Without the existence of the women, it wouldn't be possible the existence of the men, and the other way round. This concept is so obvious that we tend to forget it most of the time.
On the one hand, women need to be tough because we live in a world of violence whre it is really necessary to survive from ourselves. We can not be in life depending on other persons to be right. People have to learn how to defend and be safe without anyone else supporting them.
While on the other hand, men also need to be tender to develop their roles. Today everything is changing. Men do not have only one obligation in life any more, as it used to be in other times; now they learn not only to be a dad, but also a mum. They do the washing up and take care of the children while the woman is working. This quality is necessary in ours days to bring up a family.
As a conclussion, we can say that today both sexes need from each other, otherwise they could not be completed persons if it is not in this way. Both need these two qualities for their characters because as time passes roles change. We were created to act together and share qualities; at the same time qualities were created for both sexes.

Nice reacion after all the work we have done in the unit Gender Roles. This is an issue that should be constantly raised for discussion, especially when you are a girl and think about your rights, and your children´s rights, don´t you think? So good that you chose this topic for posting. Hope your classmates will re-consider its imprtance in their everyday's lives.
