The Role Of Women In The Society

Published

on

The first woman was made a helpmeet, a companion and some one who was to make completeness possible for the man, from hen, women have continue to play important roles in the history of mankind. Women have been playing supportive roles like trances, burden bearers supporters, helper etc.

There are situations in life when women have stood up gallantly do make a difference to make a differences in their homes, churches, communities and places of work. Millions of women all over the world, have proved that the women all over the world, have proved that the women folk cannot be swept aside when it comes to the achievement of noble ideas in life. The past, present and future roles of women have brought great transformations into human life.

No matter how intelligent or hard-working a particular man is, he remains a loner without women.

Great scientist inventers and top international businessmen have demonstrated acute loneliness and incompleteness without a woman.

The truth is that no man is complete without a woman. She is created to fulfill a particular role in the destiny of mankind. These roles and expectations are clearly spelt out in the minds of people in the society.

However, the only group of women who can make this possible are God-fearing women, only this category car extol motherhood to the highest level where the world can see the valuable role of women.

For example in talking about qualities of a female leadership, the woman must have these qualities: a God-fearing, submissive, not stubborn not lazy, not a walker about, not argumentztive, excellent cook, not guide to anger, respectful, a supporter, a keeper of home, care for her husband people, resourceful, playerful, forgiving, hospitable and appreciative.

We also agree that the female must be an excellent wife, full of human ingenuity, committed to truth and also trustworthy.

Her careful stewardship makes the husband like her better. He is able to totally concern that on his work for he knows we can leave her with great responsibility of running the household and raising their children.

The women by her divine calling is meant to serve and not to be served.

Most women wants others to notice their need but the good mother is focused on the need of others. She is obsessed with satisfying others, many women want servants, but she wants to serve, her position not withstanding. A woman should be a keeper of the home and a special adviser to the husband.

He duties involve cater for the husbands emotional and sexual needs, to bring up this children discipline, plans and prepare the meal of the home and a good financial supporter. One of her responsibility is to display integrity at work. She need to be busy, productive and hardworker.

Her role is to achieve set goals in her office. However many complain when ask to work hard. Women need to emulate and instilled in us the work ethics of some female who have distinguished themselves in every life endeavour, we have women like Margaret Thatcher, the one time Prime Minister of Great Britain, Miss Ricie of American who by their exceptional performance have proved their integrity.

They have distinguished themselves and changed the skill womanhood.

The Holy Bible has portrayed women of exceptional integrity like Deborah. She was a Godly and hardworking woman who in the book of judges led Israel as a Judge and Ruler. She was not only a every good house wife and mother to her husband but a prophetess in the house of God, mother in Israel, Judge and Soldier and warrior who successfully led Israel to war.

In our day we have women like Mrs Alele Williams, former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Benin who successfully improved the administration of the University and stood out tall in her forth-rightness when protractors conspired against her. The history of the University of Benin cannot be completed without touching the energy exercised in her tenor.

Women should not allow complex and negative attitude of the public towards women intimidate her in her role to uphold righteousness and fight fraud. Dr. (Mrs) Dorah Akunyili of (NAFDAC) has fight drug, barons and checking the manipulations of factes into pharmaceutical industry.

Her effort and courage has brought soberness to criminals and curbed menaces in health problems of the Nigeria.

The question is how do they cope with their role as a wife.

With the majority of women working outside the home, it will take extraordinary organizational skills to keep their homes in order.

Many of these women would prefer to stay at home and not work there is also an indication that most of them who are working sometimes feel guilt, believing they are abandoning their family and their duties at home.

However, even a working woman can still care for her family if she manage her time very well.

Every woman must try to make their family an exemplary for others to emulate from all indications, you should aim at perfection as you realize that you are created a helpmeet, submissive, humble, loving and a servant. You can also prove your integrity industry and maximum productivity in all life endeavour. The set goal, by you optimum performance should be attainable and achieved.

There are ladies that want to be identified with wearing of shorts (short trousers) in the public. They use it to showcase their beauty. They want to be identified with such things as they see it as socialisation.

Consultant stylists and etiquette experts say some fashions won by some persons are inappropriate because of how and when they are won.
A classic woman is supposed to dress properly.   She should  be able to wear clothes  that will not expose hidden parts of her body. When such occurs,  then it is indecent dressing.
Ladies should be known for two things, classical and beauty.  One can be classic with minimisation.  The minimum woman should go is to look good, decent and presentable.
Some ladies like wearing short skirts but no matter  how short the skirt is,  it should look elegant. The skirt  should not be too short like the mini-skirt.
Dressing or fashion depends on the environment the persons finds herself.  The kind of clothes won to the office may be different from the one won at home. Likewise,  a dress won to a party may be different from the one won too swimming pool.
For one to look classical or decent, body shape should be taken into consideration.
Colours of a particular fashion can make one look odd or nice.  Looking model does not mean that one should go naked or dull.
