A Woman’s Place Is in the Home.
We are now living in the 21st century, the idea of whether or not a woman should work is very different from the traditional culture. It is a very common scene for women to go to work in Hong Kong now. To a larger extend, I believe a woman’s place is not just in the home.
Traditional thinking said that women should stay at home, tidy up the house, take care of the children and cook for the family. This is a woman’s responsibility. People judge that only those housewives are good women or good mothers since they do many things to keep the home warm. However, have people ever thought from the women’s side? Do women really want to stay at home? Do you know how boring it is to stay at home for the whole day?
Unlike before, people consider only male should go to school and female should stay at home to manage the household. Nowadays, everyone including female have the same chances to study as male. Women and men can have the same qualifications and academic background. Also, since men and women now have the equal right in the society, women don’t have to depend on men all the time as they can earn their own living by going to work. Isn’t it justified for women to go to work? In Hong Kong, a numerous number of men get a job in order to earn the money for the family’s living. Thus, women go to work as they hope to help their husbands in sharing the responsibility of supporting the families. I am sure their husbands will appreciate this. Besides, since both parents are working, so they may be able to provide a better living standard for their children. They may have more money to let their children to grow up healthily and happily. Besides, the families can even go to trip during holidays.
Some women work for their dreams instead of for money, may be they want to be a doctor, lawyer, designer or artist since their childhood. So why should they give up their dreams because of the traditional thinking that women have to stay at home?
