In recent decades, the role of women and thus also that of men in society and especially in communities and the family has changed significantly. The female part is no longer purely responsible for the household and the children and the consequence is of course the male role has become another. What are the pros and cons of this change If the new company along well with them Roles formerly used to be all quite simple: The man was the breadwinner and the head of the family, the woman had to provide for the common household and the children. She was subjected to because of their financial dependence on the man more or less. He was sort of her boss and has ordered what had happened, as in the house while he was at work. Finally, she was getting expense money from him and a little more – if he was nice … It was then common practice that a woman an education beyond compulsory school also enjoyed. They therefore rarely practiced a profession, with whom they could earn money andwere independent. Did they have one, they gave him at the wedding or at the latest on the birth of their first child and came back after no longer in gainful employment. Especially in the countryside have previously often three generations living under one roof usual. The housewife was the center of the whole family, the calming influence, the emotional base, the mistress of the “trough”. Development in the last century, the role of women has changed a lot over the last century, mainly through the industrialization and the two world wars. By the beginning of the 20th Century, the suffragettes, radical feminists in Britain and the United States, fought for their rights as regards voting rights, education, private property and employment. They have, however, not the traditional roles of men and women called into question. It was not until the mid-20th Century and in the 60s was placed above all the roles and the patriarchy by the women in question, and hostility. Due to the very war they hadmaster their own lives and were abruptly torn from their dependence on being out there during the war, and most unfortunately, then in the postwar period, there was no longer a man, who would assist you. In addition, the reputation of the women grew up in society, as they had to fend for themselves tackled the reconstruction of roles today … The Better education for women, strengthened the confidence that through their own job and financial independence from the man creates an entirely new role . Women love their job to keep her baby or short breaks soon after the birth of the child full or part-time return, not to lose the connection to working life. Since they are employed by the same level as the man adjusts automatically the question for work-sharing in the household and childcare. Only in the last 15 years a change in attitude is evident in the partnerships. Modern educated and intelligent men takepart of the obligations in the household and raising children, if your wife is employed full time. In the fair distribution of tasks is important so that imbalances do not create dissension in the partnership. While men prefer to take care of the trash and emptying the dishwasher and vacuuming to take the women cooking, cleaning and ironing. One must indeed be lucky if any man was attacked … Unfortunately this is not even today, in many partnerships, of course. The Swiss Sozialforscherin Dr. Margret Brgisser that there are two models of the roles. First, the dual-Carree-model, in which both partners are working fully and be cared for the children of non-family persons. This model is often chosen when a salary for contesting the expenditure is insufficient or when both want to bring their career forward. The family-friendly model is loud Brgisser the “Half-half” model, which a classification / reduction of employment of both partners ifprovides that no Fremdbeaufsichtigung of children is necessary. A major advantage of this solution is that both partners by combining various life content and therefore experienced the joys – and sorrows – the world of work and the “home world”. It is not only concentrate on one area of activity, which sometimes brings more satisfaction and joy. How do people cope with change Whether the role of the man would have changed if the women would not have developed There are still many who are the emancipation of women with distrust. Especially older generations and men who would like their life Pasha led on. Women returning to their waiting period or even earlier in their job, like to be seen as an unnatural mother, whom their children are not important. In the workplace men are still considered wrong if they want to reduce their working hours for their child or take the odd day off to go to the parents’ or the child to theGo to a pediatrician. The attitude towards modern gender roles of women can also be discerned very well from the French actor and composer Charles Aznavour (* 1924) remark that “women have more rights now secure. But more power they once had. “
