Equality

  “Should men and women be equal?” this is an issue (问题) much talked all over the world. China has made great effort to improve the legal status of women and put the principle of equality into practice. However women are still denied(否定) the right to compete with men on equal terms in many fields.

  In this enlightened(开明的) age there still exist a certain number of men who view women as second-class citizens. They maintain many things men do could not be done by women who are inferior(低等的) unreliable(不可信任的) irrational(无理性的) and weak. Some men even say housework is the women’s task and the wives’ sacrifices(【美】牺牲) are sure to set the husbands up for great success. So the former should have more rights than the latter.

  Nevertheless(然而) women have shown their excellence and superiority(优越) in any fields. As football players doctors professors scientists and even presidents of countries they are as good as men and have often put men to shame. They are so conscientious(诚实的) industrious(勤奋的) and persevering(坚忍的) that they frequently succeed brilliantly(出色地) in all walks of life in addition to bearing and rearing children.

  It goes without saying that from the time when mankind first appeared on the earth there have been men and women. Humanity(人性) could not have existed and progressed(前进) without either of them.

Answer 1

              Equality Between Men and Women      The world can’t go without either men or women. Although there are a great many excellent women who have achieved outstanding achievements in all walks of life at home or abroad women haven’t achieved full equality in reality.     A Chinese saying goes: women can hold up half of the sky. In fact there are a great number of great women in the world. As great women they don’t care for themselves at all and at some point or rather they must give some sacrifices just like Lin Qiaozhi she devoted all her life to medical work for Chinese women and children and had chosen not to have a family of her own. Instead she made sure that about 50000 babies were safely delivered to their mothers. Not all people can do this. Once they have chosen their careers they would carry on with them without any withdrawal. What they have done is encouraging thousands of people to continue their careers.     Women have made great contributions to the society. The number of business women female doctors scientists and leaders is considerably increasing. However there is no denying that prejudice against women is deeply rooted still in some people's mind especially in distant rural areas. Women are discriminated in some fields. In practice women are still thought of as inferior that cannot take up responsible jobs. Cases of sexual discrimination are often heard of. The situation is even worse now when the market oriented economy is adopted and personal abilities both physical and intellectual are increasingly stressed. On the job market many companies and factories are unwilling to employ girl graduates because they don't want to spend time and money training them while taking the risk of their leaving to have children after they get married. When employment rate drops women workers are usually the first to be laid off. Doubts as to women's capability are deeply rooted in Chinese culture. So I argue that Chinese women still have a long way to go in their struggle for real equality in every field of the society.    To be honest in my opinion women are no less competent than men. They can take up almost all the professions once only occupied by men. We have to admit the sex sameness will be never to come. Men and women should show more respect and love to each other. So mankind should take further painstaking efforts to really realize equality.
