4.1.3 women's social issues

 Women of today

November 9, 1995

     You know, women today are not as women five hundred years past. In the past women were more dependent upon the physical realm, but today many women are very educated, they know many things that their mothers and the mothers of their mothers did not know. Women today work with their minds, they do many task not done by women in the past. So women of today in developed countries are not the same as women of the past, they are educated and they work with their minds. Certain needs of women today are not the same as in the past. You will find that many women are not satisfied with their lives. Many women feel that though they may have more economic independence, they are altogether lonely and adrift. You know, this is a result of many factors within the society. It is not meant the women of today are less capable, but they are not so happy. They are those that are happy but there are many more who find life today a bit difficult. First they are mothers of young children, they must go from the home and leave their babes, then there are others who are single, looking for companionship. So there are many problems that face modern women that did n't face their ancestors, because today's world is torn from its natural roots in this turmoil. And who should suffer most from this social chaos, it will ever be the women, for they are the homebuilders and the core of the family. When the society goes bad, when prema or balance is lost, it is the women who suffer most. In today's world, many women are displaced. To improve the life of women, improvement must be made in the overall society, creating an environement, suitable to the needs of women. Even within the society there are things which can be done, including gathering women together in groups to do activities and bringing women together to work independently so that time will be for the children, for the home.
