problems of social integration

Nowadays there are not so many differences between the rights and the jobs of a man
and a woman, not like about hundred years ago. In the past, people didn’t like the idea
of a learning or a working woman, because their task was to stay at home, cook meals,
care for the old and the children. They didn’t have so many rights, either. Later,
women started to open their eyes and said it’s not enough and not fair against them.
They wanted to go to school and to work to provide their families and even themselves
a better life.
So, now a very big percent of the ladies are working, but not just because they wanted,
but because they need to work to get enough money in the family wallet. Some people
say it’s not good for the children as they got less care from their parents while they are
going into kindergarten and see their family only on the late afternoons. Of course, this
is hard for their parents too, as they miss their children and can focus less on their jobs
while they are apart from each other.
There is an other important problem about the working women, too. Just imagine a
company with two jobs, which are perfectly similar, with the same tasks, same time
and everything is the same. When a man does it, he gets, let’s say, four hundred Euros
per month. When the boss decides to give the job to a woman, she gets only three
hundred and fifty Euros for the same job even though it may be harder for her.
There are brave women who started to demonstrate against women-men
discrimination, and fight against their problems which are basically because they had
borned as a woman, and not a man. Sometimes it can be a really big disadvantage for
womem who are more careerists.
Since, there are women even in the hospitals and the army, we showed the society that
we are not so weak. I consider myself as a little feminist, since I got discriminations of
who and what I am. People don’t understand why I am single woman and almost
hundred percent of them asks me: don’t you want a child? Well, I can tell them that
nowadays that requires some doing. In my opinion before you’ll become a mother you
need to build your carrier. Not just your carrier, your life. You need to have determined
idea about your future.
To talk about an other topic, let’s see other cases. When somebody goes to a new place
and joins a new group of people, a new society, they have to fight with several
integration problems. Even the colour of their skin can make troubles, or their religion.
Not all of the society are tolerant with differences and some of them have problems
with accepting new cultures or new attributions in their closeness.
That’s why these excluded people start to search for others who are they similar to and
make their own little societies, like the different quarters in New York: Chinatown,
Little Italy and other places. If people like diversity so much on the shleves of
supermarkets, why don’t they like it on the streets?
