' The position of women in society has changed markedly in the last twenty years. ' issue


Topic : 

The position of women in society has changed markedly in the last twenty years. Many of the problems young people now experience, such as juvenile delinquency, arise from the fact that many married women now work and are not at home to care for their children. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

 

Answer :

 

For the last two decades, the role of women in society and at home has changed significantly. Some people argue that less care and attention from working moms have caused a number of teenager problems. However, I completely disagree with this argument for the following two reasons. 

 

To begin with, many of the young people have difficulty interacting with others and this problem is mainly derived from a frequent use of electronic devices, such as computers and smartphones. Most teenagers spend more than two hours in a day on playing games or watching videos on YouTube, which prevents them from socializing with friends. This lifestyle has gradually made young people antisocial and caused problems when making a relationship with others. Likewise, the obsession with using electronic devices all the time detaches teenagers from their friends and gives rise to interpersonal troubles at school. 

 

Moreover, too much attention and care from moms may not be beneficial to the development of young people. Some teenagers complain that their moms intervene their life in many ways and thus their freedom and independence is significantly disturbed. Often, they gain too much stress from the intervention of their moms and become dependent on their parents. For example, since my mother was a full-time employee, I learned about how to do things on my own and become independent on my own. Therefore, care from housewife moms does not always guarantee plus points to nurturing children.

 

To recapitulate, the absence of full-time moms does not lead to an increase in problems of teenagers. Rather, too much care from moms may engender stress among young people and the cause of the current troubles is more related to the lifestyle concentrating on using electronic gadgets.
