#1 How far do you agree that traditional gender roles are a thing of the past?
[PEELEEL]
Women today has become more valuable as compared to the past, in the sense that they are given more rights. This includes the rights of voting, pursuing education and pursuing career. When women's value has been increased today, they are then sent for education. For example, researchers have predicted that America will have more female than male graduates in th near future. This goes to show that females today has been given the choice to pursue their studies just like the males today. However, while this is true in most countries, women in some countries are still traditionally not valued as much as men. There are some who are still deprived of pursuing their education. For example, in the some Arab countries, young girls are forced to marry early, some to men who are way older than them. With this, these girls are unable to pursue their education as they are expected to be good wives and serve their husbands well. Therefore, I agree that traditional gender roles are a thing of the past only when countries has given women the rights to pursue their dreams and education.

Well, first of all, the example about the researcher doesn't seems to be strong and matching to your explanation or logic. The rest is good and clear. Jieming
ReplyDeleteI feel that even if women are given the right to pursue their dreams and education, sometimes certain traditional gender roles are still unavoidable. For example, the role of a wife bearing children and taking care of them. Based on a survey conducted on Singaporean women, most of them would prefer to take care of their children rather than to leave their children under the care of domestic helpers.
