The woman in modern society

Throughout long centuries basic purpose of a fine half of mankind was reproduction. The woman acted only as the keeper of a home whereas all types of contact with the outside world were undertaken by the man. It, naturally, granted to it the right to consider the woman much below itself according to the status, therefore, and to treat her respectively. But presently technological progress, discoveries and feminism the situation cardinally changed. The woman in modern society has absolutely other status and calling, she had other values and requirements which force to reconsider views of a female role in today's world.

Position of the woman in modern society

As it was already told, today the role of the woman in modern society is not limited to performance of obligations for the house, care of children, their education and service to the lawful spouse any more. Now such position is considered outdated, and the women who are still choosing it are perceived as a supporter of conservative beliefs which nearly voluntarily give themselves to slavery to the man.

Actually such approach is wrong in specific situations when the woman sees the calling in preservation of family values and does not aim to separate own achievements from progress of the spouse. The embodiment of personal ambitions, career development and the status of independence at least in the financial plan seduce not everyone to this day. Many women do not do these criteria by end in itself, preferring to serve a family entirely.

But here other extreme as position of the woman in modern society is considered not only as the housewife, the faithful wife and good mother today acts. Often it turns out that the family of the girl, and first of all her parents, from teenage age inspire in her that in life the main thing – not a strong family, but the steady social status. Therefore, before devoting itself to marriage, it is necessary to be firmly established and be independent in the financial plan. The house, the husband, children – all this will be in time, and it is necessary to promote as soon as possible.

As arguments in the matter cautions act that if suddenly the spouse leaves a family if children are left without father if there is still something terrible, the woman has to be ready to it. Actually position of the woman in modern society assumes similar fears, today the divorce is not considered something reprehensible or catastrophic. So the probability of destruction of conjugal ties grows every year: people become more categorical and often do not wish to stand even the slightest inconveniences in the marriage union.

It turns out that the woman's task in the modern world is first of all achievement of progress in work, career development, material independence and only then the status of the wife and mother. Thus, there is a so-called revaluation of values that in turn leads to reconsideration of value of a family and the matrimonial relations in life of the weaker sex.

The status of the woman in modern society

Because the social role of the woman in modern society for the last decades undergoes radical changes, naturally, also the statuses of women in present reality change. So, psychologists are inclined to consider the following main categories of women today:

• Leaders;
• Careerists;
• Housewives;
• Owners of liberal professions.

Leading female on traits of character in many respects remind men: they are purposeful, are sure of own forces and try to obtain everything independently, without hoping for someone's help.

Self-realization is a main goal of careerists who on the first place always put work and achievement of achievements in career. Only after such results they are able to afford to reflect on creation of a family and planning of children.

The status of the woman in modern society who chose a role of the housewife, as a rule, is considered not from the best party today. Of course, in some cases the woman is quite happy to act only as the keeper of the center and the faithful companion of the husband. But often this choice is caused by such properties of character of the spouse as egoism, a sobstvennichestvo, jealousy, etc.

As for liberal professions, the actress, the artist, journalists and poetesses are most often just too keen on the work. They should not be confused to careerists as not career development, but an opportunity to do favorite thing is important for them. It for them quite often is on the first place whereas the family fades into the background.

Problems of women in modern society

Changes of the status and role of representatives of a fine half of mankind inevitably conduct to a number of problems of women in modern society. Perhaps, most important of them change of a role of the man on this background acts. That is it is possible to tell that most of the women arguing on gender equality badly represents its effects. On the one hand, they want to have equal rights with male population, and with another, in specific questions, to remain the weaker sex.

But if we speak about original equality, then women have to be ready that the man – not the defender the getter and in general responsible for everything in a family. Here as the woman's problem in modern society development of weakness of the man who is nearby acts. It stops being for the woman a support and support, and its role begins to remind function of the close girlfriend in her life.

Besides, female careerists should exist in quite severe conditions of survival in the working sphere. But they choose such status therefore they gradually reconcile to the fact that they compete to men on equal terms. There is one more problem of the woman in modern society – loss of such important quality as feminity. It is fraught both with problems in private life, and purely psychological discomfort. The woman who has no truly female qualities cannot become the full-fledged spouse for the husband and mother for future children.
