  • question_answer 1)
    Are the statements given below true or false. Support your answer with the use of an example : (a) All societies do not think similarly about the roles that boys and girls play. (bOur society does not make distinctions between boys and girls when they are growing up. (c)Women who stay at home do not work. (d)The work that women do is less valued than that of men.

    Answer:

    (a)True. It is because the attitude of the societies are not the same. They differ sharply. In one society we find everything in traditional pattern. It does not allow its girls to get high education and do jobs in offices and factories. At the same time there is another society which believes in high ideas and modem ways of living. Such a society allows its girls to go said by side along with the boys. It believes that girls must be given all opportunities like boys so that they may achieve good name and fame. For example, Muslim society puts its girls behind wall; whereas we have the Christian community which paves ways for its girl to rise higher and higher. (b)False . It is a bitter truth that our society does not behave fairly with the girls. It makes many distinctions between boys and girls when they are growing up. Most of the parents prefer boys. They provide good food and good education to their son or sons but refuse to make available these facilities for their daughter or daughters. (c)False. Women who stay at home do a lot of work. At times, they do more work than men. All the house-hold chores depend upon women for their disposal. Women look after the whole family by discharging their duties in the most perfect way. They cook food, wash clothes, clean the house, etc. They also help their children in doing homework, m not shell we can say that women who stay at home are always busy. (d)False. The work that women do is equally valuer to that of men. Our society and our family depend not only on men but on women too. Both men and women are the two wheels on which the family runs smoothly. If one wheel gets damaged, it is very difficult to run the family. Both men and women are equally important in the development of our country.
