Women were known as the homemakers and men were known as the providers and seeking after opportunities. As women gain political independence and socio-economic equality roles in family law have changed. Husbands in the past were known as the “legal” head of household, responsible for its support and it links to the external society, while the wife was the mistress of the hoe, responsible for the day-to-day management of its internal affairs and the care and education of children. (pg. 2019) As times have changed this is no longer the case. Women are just as equal as men (in most areas). Women are facing their fair share outside the home in terms of discrimination. Women are still to this day discriminated against within employment opportunities and also wages/salary. As women become bolder as they are beautiful inside the home and outside the home. It can prove to be rocky in terms of marriage, sex and affection. If the masculine male is feeling as he is being over taken such as the woman being the “bread” winner.

    Similarly, older adults whose perceived isolation score is one standard deviation above average face 30 percent lower odds of being above any category of self-rated health (e–.359 = .698). It is worth noting that disconnectedness and perceived isolation account for part of the health-related advantages of college attendance and marriage. Partnered individuals report better health partially because they perceive themselves to be less isolated (t = 4.13, p < .001), and older adults who attended college may fare better with respect to physical health because they are more socially connected (t = 15.06, p < .001) and perceive themselves as less isolated (t = 5.25, p < .001) than those who did not attend college. Additionally, over 20 percent of minorities’ health disadvantage in model 1 may be attributed to their higher levels of disconnectedness (t = 12.70, p < .001) and perceived isolation (t = 5.28, p <…

    Since the beginning of time man and woman have been told how they should act and what roles they should take in society. Today, the media is playing a major part in telling the role man and woman should take in society.

    Many years ago families were always considered male dominated due to the superior role men used to play in the family. However since the 1950s and onwards this has changed. Families are now becoming a lot more female orientated. Women now have close to equal rights as men do which means a females role in the family is much more higher than what it used to be. This shows that women have a lot more power than they used to have. Some sociologists say that due to this equality, women control the way a household operates and that modern day families are no longer male dominated.…

    Back in the 70’s, most married women were housewives. Many wives stayed home to care for their housework, children, and husband. Their duties revolved around those three ideas. But as time passed, traditions have changed. Most women have jobs and hardly considered housewives. Sure, they will tend to their kids and spouse but many of them now have lives. Instead of being of the housework being a priority, the real work replaces it. Another weighing factor would be women’s rights. Instead of the husband viewed as the main bread maker, some wives have stepped up to plate with a higher salary. Back then, the male worked and the wife stayed home, therefore the male would earn the income. The last contributing factor to the change in modern day wife roles is the later marriage. People are marrying later leading to having children at an older age. By this point, the females would have had time to peak at their jobs and remain a steady pace when the child is brought into the world. Not as many sacrifices has to be made for the child oppose to giving birth at a younger age.…
