News media are the means or methods by which people learn what is happening in the city, in the country and in the world. The news media can be classified into two general categories of print media and electronic media. Print media use the written material to communicate news to readers. Electronic media use air waves to send news into homes, offices and public places. Print media are usually divided into magazines and newspapers. Most newspapers print news daily. For example, the newspaper “ The New York Times” is published every day of the year. Most news magazines are published weekly, for instance. Newsweek and Time magazines are published once a week. The electronic media are generally divided into radio and television. Radio news is news that you listen to. In the United States, many radio stations broadcast five minutes of news every hour. T.V news is news that you not only listen to but also watch. In Canada and the United States, for example, many people watch an hour of news on TV at 6 o’clock in the evening. In the future new categories of news media will develop. Even today computers are beginning to influence the transmission and reception of news

    It is always thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely.  Women’s place was in the kitchen and women’s work was housework. In many places, women were not even allowed to go to school. Women had no rights, even the right to choose a husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they thought they were intelligent and important than women. Men considered women their property. Sometimes, women were mistreated by their husbands and suffered this as a fate. Many parents did not even want to have female children.

Thanks to the women’s liberation movement, women have nowadays proved that they are equal to men on every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as him. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can; they produce children.
