Mother’s Role?

Human beings basically are born with freedom and have rights to be respected.

  And, people should have rights to select or choose what they want to do. Some people say women should have a big responsibility as a mother, not as a working woman. Sometimes they believe being a mother is one of the most important values of women’s life. Of course, a mother is a role. However, as the number of working women has increased, mothers should also have a job if they want despite the possible problems.

  People say a major problem a working mother faces is raising her children. In fact, a mother is an essential part of their growth in terms of emotions, education, and other carings. Here, one of the most famous scientists of the world, Jane Goodall, a zoologist, can be a good model as a successful working woman and a mother. She got a docto’s degree of zoology at Cambridge University, and she is a trailblazer in researching chimpanzees. And her recent book ‘Jane’s reasons for hope’ has became a best seller in Korea. When her son was 9 years old, she became a widow. But, she was able to serve two ends, as a mother and as a working woman. Her son has been helping her research now, and has already grew up as a good man. From  Jane, we can discover that a working woman can also take a care of her children while achieving her goal.

  It’s said that added expenses such as hiring a baby sitter or transportation would cause problems. In respect of money, a working mother can inflict a loss on money more than when she doesn’t work. But, I think the purpose of a job is not for earning money, and the economic problem will restrict women to displaying thier ability, and being a part of society. By getting a job, both fathers and mothers can get honors and respects from other people. Mothers also need self-achievement. And such self-satisfaction cannot be exchanged for money. If a community lets such valuable human resources leave alone, it will bring a tremendous loss to the community. Communities should promote mothers to work outside rather than to stay home as a mother.

  Many mothers in our community may have suffered from their duty at home. Mothers should not carry all responsibilities on their shoulders.
