While manynineteenth–century reformers hopedto bring about reform through education or by

to imitation,until communities free of crime,poverty, and other socialillswould cover the land.A number

of religiousgroups, notably theShakers,practiced communalliving, but the mainimpetusto found model

communities came from nonreligious, rationalistic thinkers

Among the communitarian philosophers, three of the most influential were RobertOwen, Charles Fourier, and JohnHumphreyNoyes Owen, famous forhis humanitarianpolicies as owner of several thriving textile mills in Scotland,believed that faulty environmentwastoblame for human problems and that

theseproblems could be eliminated ina rationally planned society In1825, heput hisprinciples intopractice atNewHarmony, Indiana The community failed economically aftera few years but not before achievinga number of social successes Fourier,a commercial employeein France, nevervisited the United

States.However, his theories of cooperativeliving influenced many American through the writings of

Albert Brisbane, whose Social Destiny of Man explained Fourierismand its self-sufficient

associations or“phalanxes”.One or more of these phalanxes was organized in veryNorthern state The

most famouswere Red Bank,New Jersey, and Brook Farm, Massachusetts An early member of the

The days when only men would hold management positions are over (1) _ Despite a slowing

economy, the number of women in management has risen to 16% in 1995, when it used to be less than 9% One result of this tendency is that women are now more accepted in these roles, and it has also been found that women in management ease tension and gender conflict in the workplace

A comprehensive nation-wide study of executive performance accidentally found that

womenscoredhigher in almost allareasofperformanceevaluation, whilecompilinga

large-scaleanalysisof425high-levelmanagers.(2) _ They tendto workharder behindthescenes,

whilemenprefertheglamorous,moreaggressive sideof management

Themasculineapproachismoresuitedtothetraditionalstyleofbusiness, wheretheboss would work alone andsimply dictate orders to his staff Now, in the global information age, teamwork and partnership are increasinglyimportant, and these are exactly the areas where women excel

(3) _.Itmay bethatthe same qualities thatmake women moreeffectiveasmanagersare alsoholdingthem back.Most womengetstuckinjobs which involvehumanresourcesor publicrelations, whiletheirskills

makethem highlysuitable forthis typeof work However,theposts

intheseareasrarelyleadtothetop.Ambitious womenarefrustrated bythis,and manylefttostarttheir

owncompanies.Another reason why womenareoverlookedfor promotionisthatmenareseenasmore

Itis also surprising to learn thatthe greatestprejudiceagainst female bosses comes from women

themselves.Ina recentGalluppoll, 70%ofmensaid thatthey

wouldbepreparedtoacceptafemaleboss,comparedto66%of women (4) _.Sincenearlyallbosses usedto bemale, womenfeelmorecomfortablebeing supervised byamanthan byanother woman Some women alsofeelthata malebossislessdemandingandhefeelsmorerelaxedaboutbeing ina positionof authority.Since womenhaveto workhardertoget tothetop,theyexpectmoreoftheirstaff when they get there

In conclusion, although more and more women are rising to higher positions, there are still many deep-rooted prejudices and double standards that keep them from achieving the very top positions Companies may say that they value interpersonal skills, but they still look for a leader who is decisive and a risk taker (5) _ Although women have proved that they are capable of leading a company, it seems that they will not get the chance to do so untilthey are prepared to start their own businesses

A One possible reason for this is that of tradition

B Areas where women are particularly effective are in supporting their staff, and sharing information

C More and more women are moving into top jobs in the USA

D Although women are not as decisive as men, they still play an important role in social work

E Although the number of women in middle management is on the increase, there are still few women running large companies

F These qualities are perceived as being mainly masculine

G These positions are held by females
