Time has changed. In this modern era, women are taking a positive role in
society. They are seen at par with men and because of liberalization, women have
the rights to vote and say. Today, women are more mature than men. They are
becoming more independent and are very competitive even in the corporate world.
They are unlike their fore sisters, mothers or grandmothers, who rely on men for
support.
As we look around, we can see that women are now boldly involved in politics.
Politics refer to how a country is being administered by a group of people
elected by its nation. Through their involvement in politics, women have proven
that they are equally capable as men to lead. They are able to shoulder
responsibilities and heavy maters concern in the world issues due to good
exposure, caliber and support from the women's liberalization rights.
Next, as we observe around, there are also women involved in business. They
have proven to rule the business world and build an empire with ripple effects.
Some venture into cottage industries like making handicrafts and cookies while
there are others who are able to lead an empire in business industry, marketing
and insurance. These women have the potential, qualifications and expertise to
mark a change in their lives. With the influence of the mass media and Western
values, women are becoming very bold, brave, adventurous, capable and
responsible. As such, men are now able to accept women into the workforce and
take them as their equals.
In the sports arena, women are bold to take a stance to show their physical
ability. This is unlike the past where women were supposed to be behind the
doors and in the confinement of their homes. With women's liberation and the
advancement in science and technology, women have shown themselves to be a
sports enthusiasts and performers. we have people like Shalin Zulkifli and Nurul
Huda Abdullah who have excelled in the area of bowling and swimming proving
themselves that they can also be as good as our male counterparts. They are good
role models and from their bold involvements, more young girls are encouraged to
participate in the field of sports. With this, a vast variety of facilities have
been made available to women so that they can prove themselves to be physically
fit to compete in the various competitions. By involving themselves, women are
also becoming confident, healthy and energetic. Young girls who are actively
involved in sports are less likely to be involved in drugs, social ills and know
what they want in life. They have made the country proud of their great success.
Education has played a significant role towards the welfare of women.
Education has enabled women to be knowledgeable and skilful to face the
challenges in life. Women are considered the weaker gender, have more feminine
features and motherly instincts like patience, love, care and understanding.
Therefore, they are good educators in molding the future leaders of
tomorrow. Moreover, in any tertiary level of education, women play a main role.
In fact, women are good role models for future mothers.
Most women today have more than a role. They are a mother, a wife and a
breadwinner. They are on the move all the time. As a mother, the women know her
children's needs. As mothers have their own natural instincts, they are able to
care for their children better. They teach, train and guide the lives of their
innocent children to learn and adapt to the challenges in life. These are rather
marvelous for a woman. |
