It doesn't matter whether the man or the woman is the breadwinner or homemaker; everything is on asliding scale based on the attitudes of the two partners We develop our relationship expectations based onpersonal values, earning potential, personality, and logistics Our upbringing, location, social circle, andreligion all play a part in defining how gender will factor into our home lives They also play a large role

In many of the modern societies today, there is no need for traditional gender roles, because both menand women are able to do many of the same necessary tasks, thereby making gender-specific behaviorsirrelevant These stereotypes can be harmful because they motivate people to condemn and oppress thosewho do not fit the traditional gender roles As a result of this oppression, many people struggle to reachtheir full potential Therefore, it is critical that we encourage everyone to follow and express their owntruth, regardless of gender norms, so that everyone is able contribute fully to our society

Strange as it may seem, the family roles have not changed much in today's society While girls andwomen (not only Polish) have more opportunities in home based employment, the traditional roles ofwomen are still quite evident They are still the caring provider and nurturer of young infants andchildren, the comforter for the crying child and the feminine presence of the household While thehusband's role has diversified into more household chores and the cooking and cleaning upresponsibilities, they are still considered the head of the household

Despite women's advancements, substantial inequalities remain Although an increasing number ofwomen are either the sole breadwinner for their family or share the role with their partners, women in theUnited States are paid only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes The pay gap is even larger for women
of color On average, African American women make 64 cents for every dollar that white men make.While 2012 was a watershed year for women in terms of getting elected to public office, women stillcomprise only 18.1 percent of Congress, despite making up more than half of the U.S population Theyalso face challenges on health issues, as 2012 saw continued conservative efforts to erode women's ability
to make their own decisions about their health and well-being
A deeper examination shows that disparities for women also exist among states Women in Vermont,for example, make on average close to 85 cents for every dollar a man makes, while women in Wyomingmake only 64 cents - more than 25 percent less than women in Vermont On leadership, 15 states have nofemale elected leaders in the House of Representatives or the Senate Lastly, while less than 10 percent ofwomen in Vermont, Wisconsin, Hawaii, and Massachusetts are uninsured, nearly 25 percent of women inTexas do not have health insurance

For working parents in the U.S., the challenge of juggling careers and family life continues to be afront-burner issue - one that is being recognized by a growing number of employers who have adoptedfamily-friendly policies such as paid leave But while few Americans want to see a return to traditionalroles of women at home and men in the workplace, one reality persists: Women most often are the oneswho adjust their schedules and make compromises when the needs of children and other family memberscollide with work, Pew Research Center data show
In a 2013 survey, we found that mothers were much more likely than fathers to report experiencing
significant career interruptions in order to attend to their families' needs Part of this is due to the fact that
gender roles are lagging behind labor force trends While women represent nearly half of the U.S.workforce, they still devote more time than menon average to housework and child care and fewer hours
of paid work, although the gap has narrowed significantly over time Among working parents of children
younger than 18, mothers in 2013 spent an average of 14.2 hours per week on housework, compared withfathers' 8.6 hours And mothers spent 10.7 hours per week actively engaged in child care, compared withfathers' 7.2 hours
Another factor is the way that society views the bond between mothers and their children In a 2012
Pew Research survey, the vast majority of Americans (79%) rejected the notion that women should
return to their traditional role in society Yet when they were asked what is best for young children, veryfew adults (16%) said that having a mother who works full time is the “ideal situation.'' Some 42% saidthat having a mother who works part time is ideal and 33% said what's best for young children is to have
a mother who doesn't work at all Even among full-time working moms, only about one-in-five (22%)said that having a full-time working mother is ideal for young children

On average, American youths listen to music and watch music videos four to five hours a day, which is more than they spend with their friends outside school or watching television
Music matters to adolescents They cannot be understood without a serious consideration of how
music fits into their lives Music alters and intensifies their moods, furnishes much of their slang,
dominates their conversations and the ambience at their social gatherings Music styles define the friends they hang out with Music personalities provide models for how they act and dress Music also appears to
alter study habits and damage eardrums
Many scholars have viewed television as the central media influence on adolescents but adolescents devote more time and intensity to music
They use music most to control mood and improve emotional states In one study, a heavy metal devotee reported that he loved the music because it put him in a "good mood"
Adolescents also use music to gain information about the adult world, to withdraw from social contact
(such as using a MP3 as a barrier, not unlike an adult hiding behind a newspaper at the breakfast table),
to facilitate friendships and social settings or to help them create a personal identity (Text adapted

to be careful with them Some have physical disabilities, and are in wheelchairs Sometimes they're reallyintelligent, and it's their physical disabilities that are holding them back.'
She says she would recommend anyone to do community service work, for the sense of enjoyment and fulfillment it gives 'But', she adds, 'it's not for everybody.'
