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, mobile phones were not a big problem in the class because there were no phones in the past. Also, there were no electronic devices such as laptops and electronic dictionaries.

There are a lot of advantages of the mobile phone. Mobile phones are the most important device these days because we can communicate with others easily; also it makes a good reminder of things when I make notes on it. In addition, you can save a lot of things such as old pictures, numbers and names. Now, you can check your email in any places. For example, if you travel to another place but you don’t have a laptop, you can check your email in the phone.

There are a lot of disadvantages of the mobile phone in the class. First, the students can’t concentrate during the class because the students are busy with their phones. Also, that affects their grades and maybe they will fail at the end of the semester. Second, some times the students use the mobile phone to cheat in the exams and copy the answer from another student by using the Bluetooth.

On balance of agree and disagree we should ban the phones in the classroom.
