Julia Alvarez was born in 1950, in a time where most women did not work outside of the home, and woman raised their daughters to be housewives. An interpretation Julia Alvarez’s thoughts and feelings about a woman’s position in a household can be seen in several lines throughout the poem Woman’s Work; first through her eyes as a young girl, then as a grown woman. For example, Julia Alvarez takes the reader through a typical day of cleaning for the speaker with her mother: We’d clean the whole upstairs before we’d start downstairs. I’d sigh, hearing my friends outside. Doing her woman’s work was a hard art to practice when the summer sun would bar the floor I swept till she was satisfied.
. What is Juliet’s relationship with her mother like at the beginning of the play? Consider the purpose of her conversation throughout, to what extent she knows her daughter and her views on love (look carefully at the form of Lady Capulet’s speech about Paris – it is very much like a sonnet. Think about why she might talk about him in this way) In Act 1, scene 3 the relationship between Lady Capulet and Juliet is a typical Elizabethan family relationship between a mother and daughter. Juliet is being a dutiful child by formally speaking to her mother at all times, such as when the Nurse calls her and she addresses Lady Capulet as ‘Madam’.
Carol allows a few minutes for the nurses to read the agenda but starts the meeting on time. In control of voice and body language, and according to her agenda, Carol takes immediate control of the meeting with the opening statement of her focus and the expected outcomes of the meeting. As she set the tone and pace, the nurses follow quietly and surprised. Carol references her observations and expresses to run a professional nursing unit. She addresses the nursing code of ethics, the profession in itself and the nurses’ role in this career.
Whereas the wife’s role was called expressive, this is when the wife is expected to look after the house and to raise the children emotionally and cook. However with increasing numbers of married women working in paid employment sociologists have looked more carefully at the division of labour and weather the increasing numbers of women working has caused the renegotiation of the traditional domestic roles. Whether a family live in a symmetrical family or not will have an effect on the divisions of labour. Theorists such as Young and Willmott argue that family life is gradually improving for all its members, becoming more equal and democratic. For example, women now go out to work and become wage earners, just as men now help with housework and childcare.
The role of her key worker who is a female is to assist Miss M with all her personal care, and to report any concern to the line manager who would refer it to Miss M’s GP. The role of the family members is to always be there for Miss M, to visit her regularly and to take her to the synagogue every week. The role of the others like the GP, Nurse and Psychiatrist is to provide Miss M with adequate health checks and monitor her medication. 3.3 Support family members to understand person centred approaches and agreed ways of working When the outcomes have been established in the case of Miss M, the manager asked me to talk them through the principles of person centred care and I immediately gave them a brief lecture on how and why they should maintain Miss M rights, choices, privacy, dignity, personality and how to do so using the policies and procedures of the home since nothing can be done from a vacuum. In this way, the family members understood the need of carrying out all their roles in accordance with the laid down rule of the home in order to give Miss M quality care
The Majority of women upheld these expectations during the Second World War. In 1942, there were 28 million homemakers married women. Form the start women of this era were taught this, taught that marriage and having a well-kept home was the most important things in life. The one and only real role for the women of the 40s was to fill the role of glamorous mum, cook, laundress, cleaner, dishwasher, nurse, and finally hostess but this way of life would slowly become rare itself do to the
From being house-wives, slaves to men, care takers, maids, cooks, mothers, to having to be all that and work, maintain a household, pay bills, and bring home money. Women are expected to go to work then go home, and while at home from a long day of work do all the house chores, which basically is a 24/7 job minus the pay. The definition society has painted on femininity has changed; as we go into a new era society expects more and more from women. In the early 19th century women were almost considered slaves to men, they were to stay home cook, clean, and do anything and everything her husband demanded. That has evolved dramatically, societies view on women is not only that women must be the care takers of the family, but they are also expected
Is a woman’s place at the sink? For many years, a woman’s occupation has been to maintain the household, look after children and supply and cook all food for the family. Today there are very powerful entrepreneurs who are women, some very poweful business people are women and many important jobs in the medical profession are held by women. In this speech I will take the equality between men and women into consideration. So I ask you, are men and women truly equal?
The Spartan and Athenian women’s lifestyles were the same because they were responsible for bearing and raising children as well as managing the household. Being a woman during this time their duties was to remain indoors and tell the servants what to do around the household and make sure they do it, also to receive the incomings and buy what needed to be bought.
