Women for the next century

The possession of women in society has changed remarkably in the last 20 years. Many of the problem young experience such as juvenile delinquency arise because many married women now work and are not at home to care for their children. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Since the beginning of mankind, the human civilization and culture has been mainly formed by external forces such as nature and internal forces such as religion. Women, being one of vital part of the society, have been shaped by theses forces from time to time. The role of women in society has changed with time depending on the requirement of the society.

Before the 18 th century, women were given little involvement in social activities while their main responsibility was to look after their children and most of women during that time stayed at home caring their children. In fact, they didn’t want to have employment to increase their family income as they lived in a society which had a simple lifestyle with limited needs and with abundant resources. However, after the industrial revolution, which happened around 1830 in Great Britain, with the rapid development of different areas such as agriculture, economy, science and transportation the society started to change complicating our requirements. The income of the family was not enough to fulfill its needs and As a result women had to go to work. The effects of industrial revolution allowed women to experience more freedom than they used to while the effects of industrial revolution subsequently spread all over the world even to Asian countries such as India which has a strong cultural and religious background.

As women started to work leaving her children at home alone, some children started to behave badly. It is obvious that children are not accompanied with caring and protection they used to have as their mother is busy with her work in the daytime and some children happened to involve with violent activities as there is no one at home to teach them about good and bad. But it must not be forgotten the right of women to work and experience her freedom and it is vital that women stay educated in order to guide future generation.

Most educated women have been able to manage their work and family life to an extent such that it would not affect the future of their children. So it is important that women share the same freedom that men have for admirable society.
