Equality in my society (SooHyeon. Kang)

Before reading this article, I could know this kind of topics. I like watching movies. And movies often reveal the social structure of a country. This is because they portray gender, class, and race relations. Movies from India show arranged marriages, a majority of women as house wives, and a very pronounced class hierarchy among different castes and tribes. Contrastingly, Swedish films often show love marriages, women working outside the home, and a more egalitarian class society. In addition, the films show a predominately white society. Considering my country, in reality, I think we are in the middle of the countries. Comparing the past, our society is fairly equal to women and they are trying to change. However, when it comes to working moms, a growing number of women find themselves stuck in a dual role as a worker and home worker. In the past, women were only responsible for childcare and household chores. But, nowadays, lots of men want to their future wives to work and make money. Ironically, although women works and makes money same as men, the society requires to women to handle more house chores than men do. Employed mothers complain that they cannot concentrate on their work since they are constantly distracted by their children’s need and domestic chores.
