A woman's role

Is a woman’s proper role in society to pursue a career or to be a mother and wife?

Traditionally a woman’s role has been as a mother and wife. However, more and more women worldwide are being educated to a high level and are pursuing careers. Does this pose a threat to the upbringing of young children and to social stability?

There are many reasons why a woman should be at home to look after her children. Children need their mother’s love and attention. A mother substitute, like a maid, however caring, cannot provide the same emotional support that a child needs. In addition, a maid may not speak the child’s language and there may well be cultural differences. A mother plays a crucial role in developing her child’s language and cultural awareness. Even worse, if there is no mother and no maid at home, children will feel neglected.

On the other hand, women have an important role to play in society. If intelligent women want to pursue careers, why should they not have the same opportunity to do so as men? Women have a lot to offer to society, which would be poorer if they couldn’t do so. In the West, it is generally accepted that women have the choice of whether to pursue a career or not. Of course there are more traditional societies where this is more difficult.

In an ideal world, a woman should be able to pursue a career and also have time to bring up a family, but it’s not an easy task to get the balance right.

Mobile phones

Years ago, there weren’t many mobile phones in students’ hands during the classes. Nowadays, however, all students use mobile phones and laptops in their studies.

Using mobile phones is essential during the classes. In an emergency situation, students need mobile phones to contact with other to solve their problems. For example if there are many problems that happen with a student in class, they can try to contact with the first one who can help them. More examples are if somebody is waiting for me or sending emails. Furthermore, most students use mobile phones to calculate in math class and as a dictionary when they have any strange words.

On the other hand, mobile phones have many negative effects on students and many schools bans using mobile phones during classes. When students use mobile phones during the class, they don’t pay attention to the lesson from the teacher. Also students affect their grades by chatting, talking and playing games.

In summary, students can bring their mobile phones but they should make them silent. They also should not use it during the class without permission from the teacher
