Dear, Sir/Madam,

I am writing you about the article «Women Are Better at Dealing with Money Than Men» on dealing with money appeared in your Web site http://www.english-online.at/index.htm in 2012. It raised some important issues, which I feel strongly about and to my ind all your readers need to consider them carefully.

At the beginning of the article, writer says about survey, which has found out that women are better at managing money than men. I want to show my agreement with that fact. Being a woman and an economist myself, I find large number of men rather prodigal. Do not think that I am a feminist - I am totally not.

In my opinion, a problem of managing money is very important. Especially that is in our country, because many people in Russia have financial difficulties. It is possible to say that better dealing with money may help people to live better. Moreover, it is hard to argue with the fact that men need more money, because traditionally in our society man is positioned as earner and breadwinner. Therefore, it is vital skill for men – to deal with money correctly.

To my mind, there are some things that society can do to deal with this problem. Firstly, I find it necessary to teach people (especially men) how to deal with their money, how to save and how to spend it. Secondly, according to the results of the research, family budgets should be managed by women. In that case, money will be spent more wisely. Probably, there should be more solutions. We just need to think more about this problem to find them.

In conclusion, I want to say «Thank you for your article», because the problem, mentioned in it is very important

    This source appears to be a journal article from what was formerly titled NSWA(now Feminist Formations) . The author, Carrie Yang Costello, was an assistant professor of sociology at the time of publication. With her degree in sociology, Costello was able to conduct research into the topic of gender inequality and present her findings in writing. This article might be written for other specialists in sociology to give them insight on an issue of interest for her. This work was published in 2004 and some may say that any findings written there would be out of date because of the changes in society throughout time.…

    Throughout reading articles published in your newspaper in the past few years and also in the broader media in Australia, I have become quite irritated that Australian Indigenous communities are still being treated with disrespect and wrongness by our government. All human beings should be treated as equals and have equal rights to the basic necessities such as quality health care. However we still fail to give our Indigenous communities the respect that they deserve, after all the heart ache we the non-indigenous Australians have caused them in the past it is only fair that we treat them with the utmost respect.…

    I am writing this letter to Jeremy Rifkin’s article “A Change Of Heart About Animals.” I disagree. I don’t think we can change the way we treat animals. I think we should just let them be and have them live their own habit. If we change the way we treat animals, than they would be like humans and not themselves. They wouldn’t be just normal animals. I feel that animals should be in their own habit and not become more like humans.…

    I would personally like to thank Jeremy Rifkin for his earth-shaking findings published in “A Change of Heart about Animals”. Without Rifkin’s article, I never would have realized that animals can experience pain, suffering, and affection (2). The global community is truly indebted to Rifkin for proving, for the first time ever, that animals are actually living, breathing creatures—a truly groundbreaking scientific achievement, no doubt. The truth is: Rifkin has proven nothing new and merely demonstrated the barefaced hypocrisy of the animal rights movement.…

    Before starting this class, I thought that feminism was simply about fighting the gender oppression facing women like myself. However, I soon discovered how one dimensional, simplistic, and offensive this thought was. In reality, a person’s experience with oppression is not solely based on their gender but many other socially defining factors such as race, class, sexuality, ability, and age. Furthermore, these systems of oppression do not operate independently. Instead, these systems work simultaneously and are very much interdependent. The gender pay gap as a perfect example of this codependence. In the article, “7 Reasons why Class is a Feminist Issue” author Erin Mckelle describes how in our capitalistic society money is power. Interestingly,…

    I am writing this letter in regards to the recent article that was printed in the Sydney Morning Herald earlier this week criticizing the study of Shakespeare in school and how it should be removed from the year 9 syllabuses. One of Shakespeare’s most famous works is the play of Romeo and Juliet which is also one of the world’s best-known love stories. A play such as Romeo and Juliet incorporates profound themes of human nature, father and daughter relationships and the inevitability of fate. In addition, exposing students to a multitude of literary techniques, challenges students with difficult language and style, expresses a profound knowledge of human behavior and offers insight into the world around us. Simply stated, I believe students should study Romeo and Juliet in school because of the incredible value within the play.…

    Feminists try to push for economic and legal equality for women in all areas and subjects. Men have always been viewed as superior to women because they’ve always been told to follow their heart and do it to the best of their ability, while women have been told to stay as housewives. Being a housewife is in no way a demeaning title. In fact, housewives get plenty of respect for taking care of children, the house, and the husband. While she does not get her own income from working a city job, she might get an allowance of some sort from the working husband. It’s just that when you didn’t have a choice of being a housewife or following your dreams, there is an…

    The importance of money in India is seen as a huge part that is a part of their everyday life. Tapasi states in the film that “..nobody here understands anything but money.” (57:28). This statement is also the same here in Canada or any other country. No matter where you go, money seems more important to man than anything. Everyone is so greedy, and only cares about what the easiest way to get money is. This importance of money is also causing corporations and people to have no morals because they are only focusing on what is the most efficient way to get money, no matter how illegal or wrong it may be. In my life money is very important, my parents work 6 days a week, 8 hours a day so we get to have the luxuries and get to participate in certain special activities. Working that often can harm the family a little bit because you don’t see them as often. In some people’s eyes they wouldn’t care so much because it’s earning money but family is more important than riches.…

    In today’s society, women have been given the short end of the stick. Their positions in institutions of higher education and the workforce do not stand at the same level as men, and in many cases they have been relegated to a subservient position. Men often receive greater opportunities, privileges, and status in higher education and the workforce, even though there are no quantitative arguments proving that men are smarter or more productive than women. Many men have heard of the word feminism from a young age. Yet, they have not fully seen it in all of its forms. It is a multi-issue, multi-faceted movement moving further than it ever has into mainstream discussions within society. The movement, which has gained fervor now that Donald Trump…

    At the time of the split in the Russian Social Democrat Labour Party in 1903, into the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks, Kollontai did not side with either.

Kollontai founded the Zhenotdel or “Women’s Department” in 1919. This organisation worked to improve the condition of women’s lives in the Soviet Union, fighting illiteracy and…
