This weeks discussions have revolved around the different roles that men and women have and how they are different. It is true that everyone wants to be treated fairly and be equal to those around them. We can see evidence of this throughout history. Today especially, there is a tremendous want for equality on different issues. However, the definition of equality has been changed throughout time and equality can mean different things to different people.
For example, there has been and still is a lot of debate about women being equal to men. Women feel like they are at a disadvantage or they are inferior because men have certain responsibilities that they do not have. But does this really make them unequal? In our world today, we believe that equality means that everyone must be the exact same. However, I believe that men and women are completely equal, they just have different roles to play. People can be different and equal simultaneously. Women have certain characteristics that are genetic and natural for them and the same thing for the men. We are genetically designed to act in certain ways. Society needs to acknowledge the fact that men and women can be different from each other and it is not a bad thing.
