here not really means that the woman should satisfies everyone's conception of what is perfect or should have all the desirable and good characteristics for themselves. Most people stand that an ideal woman should being beautiful and feminine, and to have perfect bodies and behaviour. I am disapproving this view because even an ordinary woman can become her own ideal model as long as she is a high-principled man and has confidence behaviour which brave to fight for her right to get a fair treat as others. Instead of being successful in career and family life, an ideal woman is not attractive by her own outer appearance but fascinating others by her high moral quality. She will makes herself shining like a gold and has values as gold, maybe she get criticism from others, but she never stop loving herself and showing her loves to others. An ideal woman is courageous to pursue her dream, not only finding a perfect husband, living in a big house or having a nice tea at teatime every day. Otherwise, she desires to leave her comfort zone and get success which she wants to reach. An ideal woman has capable of competing with others even though compete with a man. She tries to make a little more progress in learning each day to enrich herself. Other than that, she can express her own ideas in life without any aggressive view because she is independent and never self-centred as she cares about other people's feelings. Emma Watson is the ideal woman for me. She is well-known with the cast as the brilliant, inspiring Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, which is my favourite character in this film .Beside her excellent acting in the drama and movies , the most attractive part of herself is being herself, she is the one who stood in front to deliver a speech to promote women’s rights at the HeForShe campaign launched by the U.N. Headquarters. She believes that giving women the same rights, respect, and opportunities will bring a monumental change to this world. She brought the gender inequality issue in her speech to the world. In her speech, she said that “I decided that I was a feminist, and this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminists. Apparently, I’m among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, and anti-men. Unattractive, even. Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I am from Britain, and I think it is right I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right that socially, I am afforded the same respect as men. But sadly, I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to see these rights. No country in the world can yet say that they achieved gender equality. Although gender discrimination is become a common issue in 21st century, but she still decided to stand up and speak out this problem bravely, encouraged women unit to change this phenomenon. Besides, she is not only concern about the women issues, she is also the ambassador of the non-profit organisation One Young World. This organisation is aimed to bring together young leaders to speak out their own ideas and develop the solutions for some of the world’s most urgent problem. In a nutshell, every woman can be perfect instead of being successful in their careers; whether from a lower income family or not; whether getting further study abroad or not. In my opinion, A woman who is confident, having positive personalities and always makes great effort to pursue what she wants to do is the ideal woman that I defined.
