Women in Britain are better off today than they used to be. At the beginning of the 19th century, women seem to have almost no rights at all. They could not vote, or even sign a contract. Their marriages were arranged by their parents. They were once kept at home and if they were allowed to work, they were never given responsible jobs. It is strange to think that, as far as we know, most women were happy with that situation.
Today the position is quite different. Women now can vote and choose their own husbands. In 1970, a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of divorce, and in the same year the Equal Pay Act gave them the right to get equal payment with men for work of equal value.
Despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great differences in status between men and women. Many employers seem to ignore the Equal Pay Act. It is also more difficult for a woman to get promotion than a man does.
There is sex distinction in England although it has not been so serious as it was. More and more women go out to work, earn more money, get high positions in the society, and live independently. However, there are two great problems to solve. The first problem is men’s attitude. They always think that women are lower in rank and are the weaker sex. We do not know exactly how long it will take them to change their mind. And the other problem which is much more difficult is women’s attitude. They should be ready to struggle to change their fate.

THE ELECTRONIC AGE
I recently learned how to use a computer and I have many friends who they play computer games at home. However, although recently I have begun to worry that in nowadays we rely too much on electronic gargets. Once before people managed to write and think using their brains, but now many people have become so accustomed to using machines so that they can’t do anything without them. There are many people who they depend on electronic gargets completely. For an instance, many of my friends sit at home in the evening and watch television and instead of going out to meet people. I think that this makes everybody feel more lonely, even Though they learn a lot about people all over the world. Of course there are many electronic gargets that save us times, though not all of them are really necessary. I am in favour of some gargets, but I am against of having everything in life depending on pushing a button. |

How Equal Are Woman, Really?
On the face of it, women in Britain haven’t done too badly over the passed thirty years. There has been a woman Prime Minister a woman has gone into space, and women are ordained as priests. They have won the right to equal pay with men for the same work inspite of the fact that they still earn only 80% of their male colleague’s salaries. They have even become professionals in what have always been considered male sports, like football. But can it really be said that equality of the sexes is fact rather than wishful thinking. The trouble begins at school, though equality shouldn’t be an issue in education since, acording to the Department of Education’s statistics, they do better than boys in exams at all levels. Nevertheless, they are at an immediate disadvantage as soon as they apply for jobs and go out to work. Teachers believe its vital to overcome this by encouraging them to study subjects like physics, which have been almost exclusively a male preserve. A peice of research recently carried out at Reading University may explain why boys succeed, weather or not they have better academic qualifications. It shows that they are willing to call out answers in class and risk making mistakes, whereas girls feel self conscious. This capacity to take the lead is why boys tend to make a better impresion at an interview for a business career, though they may not always prove to be the best choice thereafter. |
