Men usually wear a sult and a tia with a nice shirt and elegant shoes. Women have more possiblities to choose from, but it also makes it more dificult to find the best outiit for the occasion.

Inthe oid days men dic most of the physical work. They had postions in poitics and they were Involved in decision ‘making, taking responsiblity and leadership. Women were always considered to be the weaker sex who would take cae of the housework, bring up and nurse the children, care forthe older generation, be soft, tender and! loving, supporting the husband and creating peaceful home for hi and the whole family. ‘With women's movements, increasing rights and emizncjpation inthe 204" century, these roles have changed a lot. "Nowadays roles are quite mixed up and wo can find men and women with al sorts of occupations and in all sorts of roles. Lots of women have careers and can be found in high postions sometimes earning more than thelr husbands do. We have women in the army, some drive buses and trucks. On the other hand, we have male nurses, kindergarten teachers or accountants too. Men can also stay at home with kids on paternity leave now if they want to. [think Fm quite modem and I'd also lke to have a modem family where we don’t have these old-fashioned rules ‘and roles, | would expect my husband to help me with the housework and raising our chikiren and I'd also lke to have ‘a careot. | think if you share the tasks equal, you can have a balanced Ke having both a career and family. Pina aad Volunteering means that we make a conscious decision to do some ungald work to help the people or some public institutions, whle community service means that we assist these people or organizations in some form but not necessarily voluntarily, Usually they are about helping underprvieged people such as those who are disabled, whe live in poor conditions, in homes or day care facies, or those who have been victims of abuse or violence. Other forms of voluntary work include tending tothe animals in animal shelters, doing something for the environment such as collecting rubbish, plenting trees, or helping out at sporting events, chikken's camps, museums or tbrarie. Doing good and helping others selflessly is alvays e fantastic and rewarding feckng. You can relly change the lives ‘of the poor and underprivileged if you just donate a few hours of your oem time and support and assist them so that ‘they fel that someone i caring fr them and they belong somewhere. Volunteering and community service teach us alot about fife and they can croate bonds between people. They provide an opportunity for team buiding as well if ‘you are doing it with fiends or classmates. | have many possiblities in my area to do my required work. I can help out inthe local soup Kitchen, inthe animal shelter, inthe hospital and old people's home, but iI want to I can choose a camo, aibrary or a museum es well ‘Tm thinking about choosing the soup kitchen. I actually know a woman who is homeless and I sometimes stop and have a conversation with her In front ofthe supermarket where she goes to beg for money, | think its important to lear their stories because they are often vitims and are not to blame for their conditions. Id ike to help out in the kitchen to learn more about paopie like her and listen to thek stories so that one day I can do more for them, Poe Unfortunately, thore are lots of genetic disorders and conditions which make people's Ives dificult and which are hard to cope with. Some people have viible cisabitios auch as missing @ body part, being paralyzed and wheelchair ‘bound, oF moving with cificity using cenes or walkers. Some people have hidden cisabilties, for example bran damage, chronic iinesses, food intolarances, cllergies, diabetes, etc, Some may have behavioural problems, hearing Cr speech impairments which also make everyday life hard for them. Having some form of dsabilty or an ilness means that you ive your if in acifrent way from others. You may be restricted in your movements, you may need to take medications every day, even simple things such as breathing and talking may be impossible for you. You may not be able to go out, use public transportation, ertar certain busines which are not phyisically accessible, eat out, dance at a party with your friends, drive a car, eto. Disabilties do not ‘only cause pisysical restrictions but they can mean social exclusion too. The mare you stay away from these actvties the fower fiends you will have and the less you wl nieract with people It often means that such people aro isolated ‘and lonely, so clsebilties do not only cause physical Imitations and occasional pan but social isolation as well ‘Tho closest people to them are thelr families, who also need to handle an increased responsibilty and readiness to help and assist in everything. In some cases they also need to cope with social isolation and exclusion. They can often feel exploited and the situation for tham can also be emotionally dificult. ‘We have a wheelchair-bound git in our school and all my schoolmates are trying to help her the best we can by opening the doors for her, helping her in every situation. | think its important that we integrate these people into society. We have to give them the feting that they belong to society and are also valuable members oft. We ‘nged to treat them equally and look beyond their disable.
