"Although theposition of

women in soci-ety today has

improved, thereis still a greatdeal of sexual

discrimination.,,Do you agree?

cnridcare n the workplace and, n these cases.women are lorc€d to lrd someone to look alt€rihe children while they are al work. Obvtorsy,mrs can prove to be a ttme_consuming andexpensrve pToc€ss. yetit must be done iJ mothersar€ to be able to resume their careefs.

Secondly, the traditional views oJ the position

- Was*t -

not rea y changed For in$tance, fot only is the view that women should stay atnome and look atter their lamlly stilt wdely h€ld, but it is reintorced thro;gh

mages seef on television programmes and advertisements. An example otlhis is thatJew men are ever seen doifO housework 0n letevsion. stnce thrs

rs tradltiofaly thought of as ,,a

woman s job,,.

Thirdly, since iam lies oJten need two incomes n ord€r to enjoy agood standard of living, a woman finds hersell doing two.ob ore o. lone drd or p ri .l-p o rre. So, r cojd o; )aomata woman s posttion has. tn fact deter oated rather than

improved, with the result that women carry the bLruefs 0r€quaity but get none ol the benefits

ln contrasl, there ale some people who claim hal the probl€m0l sexuaidrscrm nation no longer exists. They point out lhat women

Taking lhese poinls into consideration, I wauro saythat the position of wom€n has improved only stighfly.While rules and laws have changed, it is lhe deep,rooted
