Mother should have a job
1) 3 reasons for your side & 3 examples supporting your ideas
① These days, there's no discrimination between women and men. Now, lots of people recognize equality. Also, mother is just a woman who has her own life, dream. So she has her right to achieve what she pursue and she doesn't need to devote all her life for supporting her family. Additionally, there's a research that woman who doesn't have her own job is more likely to suffer depression than woman who has profession.
② Discrimination and difference aren't same. So we need to accept the difference between women and men. Normally, we can say that woman is more sensitive and delicate than man. So, women are required for some jobs with those kinds of ability.
③ We are not going to say that money is everything. However, without money, no good education for their children, no comfortable life for them. Therefore, we can say that money helps lead their lives the way they want. Also, when it comes to happiness, money isn't everything. But with no money, people usually aren't happy because the life will be not easy.
2) 3 attacks on the other side
① They think that even if women work outside the home, they will still confront with discrimination and disadvantages in the company. But this is not true because there are some institutions for the women against disadvantages like a maternity leave and a special monthly leave for women. And now is the time what really matters in the company is how workers do their job well, not depending on the gender. So it's the appropriate time, not like the past, for the women to work.
② They think women should take care of her child at home, but that's not true. In some cases, woman likes to take care of her child at home and that may be her dream. But, in most cases, woman has her own dream that is not related to her child or her family. People have a dream individually and everyone wants to achieve it. Woman also want to achieve it. It's not fair that she only take care of her children giving up her dream.
③ Women can't have their jobs because men don't help house work. That doesn't make sense anymore in modern society. Men changed a lot than before. Even there's some families that men work and do the housework too. Also, there are lots of good places where you can leave a child for good care. For example, kindergarten, day-care center etc.
④ Children needs mother. That's really true. However, there are lots of teenagers whose mothers stayed home to raise them when they were young, but became bad. Not every child with working mother is rude with no manner. Mother can be with a child all day and teach good manners. But there's no relationship between child's manners and mother's working.
