Question of the day…

Question of the day…

I have been thinking some time about questions like this: How long it takes to balance world of woman and man ? Was it Adam from whom rib took to make a woman ? Perhaps it was Eve who gave her rib for Adam ?

I am sure that woman 'world' in my country definitely is limited. There is unbalance. My boyfriend believes that it because of that woman just do not take what their can and deserve. I do not think so. I am sure that it because there are so few places for woman in power.

When? When will come that day, when woman will enable to spread their wings more widely and become more influential ?

Are we afraid of changes which will follow ? In family system, values?
What will follow ?

IIze, I think the women have been gaining influence and power every year, i am talking based in the information of my company in the world, we have never had so many women with bosses (47%) like this year, and the trend is that percentage grow up more every year report. We need to reckon the rule, if we have a action we will have a reaction, the family system in my opinion will be affected, if the women won´t balance the professional life and wife/mother the world will be facing a huge problem in the future.

Hi Ilze, I just want to say that your post is really interesting. I'd love to read more and more from you.

It's nice photoes

Hello Ilze, it is indeed a very thoughful question you have posed for us all. What I believe is that if a woman wants her to be counted then she should know herself first. When we say it's a male oriented society then we, women don't mean to leave men behind we should actually first realise and make men realise that no one is superior to one another, both man and woman equal. Have a nice day, Naheed

Dear Madam, Women should be women & man should be man.if we try to change it.this world and the nature will not long last Kelum

hi Ilze, what i want to say, is that women have gotten their rights as they have to. and they still have it, now we have equality of sex. and more than that, women share every thing with men. but i think that women have forgotten themselves and their family' duty, don't forget that women should take care of her husband first and then for her children, but unfortunatly there is a miniority of women who do this job as it should be.

Hi Ilze! Although the things have changed during the years and women are part of the work force, here in my country women still earn less than men doing the same job. It´s the woman who brings the bacon in the majority of the homes in Brazil. However, there is a huge deficiency in nursery schools, consequently, the worker mothers have always to face a dilemma in order to find someone who´s going to take care of their children while they are working. We have also a very small amount of representative women in the power, which is a shame for Brazil. Well, I hope this situation could change one day. Best wishes, Ana Paula.

Well. In my country we have a woman as President. And she is very popular nowadays. I don't know how can be women more influential in our society. What could be the nex step?

It is really a good question. I hope there are balance between men and women. and the world be harmony

Well. I work as a business consultant. In my job, there are few women and I don't know why. Perhaps it depends on the client's behaviour. I hope there are balance between men and women

I`m reading BBC Blog after few weeks. I`m really happy to see that this month bloger is from Latvia. I visited Riga at the end of February and I really loved the place. The Old Town is beautiful! I enjoyed my 2 days a lot. I have taken many photos... I visited a few cafes with many varieties of tasty cakes and buns :) and I was happy to see snow again. I`m Polish but for the last few years I live in Ireland. Going to Latvia was a good experience for me and a really nice change. I could take a rest from crowded streets of Dublin. Best regards Ilze!

For me,every single being in this world has their right to live,to enjoy and to develop whatever gender they are in.For me,i respect every woman in my life,especially my mom who brought me to life,who cares for me every moment she 's near by,and gives me motivation to mature,to success in order to return her love...

Yes,I think what you said is absolutely right,in my company,the man always rise up on the position,even they are not that good,and I really hate this.

here is nothing exiting!!!!!!!
