Current Affairs (Term 2 Wk 6)

Q: Women deserve equal standing and opportunities in the work force. Write an exposition of about 400 words of this title.

I feel that women too should have a equal standing and opportunities in the workforce as men do. Women are now have good education, thus they too should be given chances to have opportunities to further excel in their jobs.

Men in the past had a better standing and opportunities in the work force as the women were not allowed to study in the past, however, now that women have good education and are rather capable of handling their jobs, why not give them an equal standing.

Men are known to have a better standing among the women as till today, some jobs still have a higher majority of men than women in those jobs. For example, surgeons, bus drivers, and many other jobs still have more men in those workforce. This is because, till today, men are still physically and mentally stronger than women.

More women compared to men would be emotional when seeing blood during a surgery. Men are usually policemen and there is a much smaller percentage of women policewomen as they are physically weaker though it is possible that they have a better brain.

For sports, men are usually looked out more then women are as men are usually able to make a game more exciting as they are naturally stronger. That is why men’s soccer and basketball is so much more popular than female soccer of basketball. The prize money in tennis for men are also larger compared to the women’s. The last tennis match in a tournament is the men’s finals and not the women’s final.

Now going on to the jobs which do not involve physical activities. For example, the boss of a company. In the past, most bosses were men and almost none women, but now, the times have changed, there are many more high-post jobs given to women instead of men as they are in this aspect, mentally capable of having pressure. The women are also able to express their feelings better than men can.

In conclusion, I find that women do deserve an equal standing if they are able to cope whether physically or mentally in their jobs. Those most men are more capable, but the times have changed and now, men and women are equally strong and capable. Today, women have also very high post jobs and some have also over taken the men. Some women have also a men’s job. So, in today’s world, women are already starting to be given an equal standing.
