A Shannon Fisher
It doesn't matter whether the man or the woman is the breadwinner or homemaker; everything is on a
sliding scale based on the attitudes of the two partners. We develop our relationship expectations based on
personal values, earning potential, personality, and logistics. Our upbringing, location, social circle, and
religion all play a part in defining how gender will factor into our home lives. They also play a large role
in how we view and are viewed in our professional lives.

B Joy Nash
In many of the modern societies today, there is no need for traditional gender roles, because both men
and women are able to do many of the same necessary tasks, thereby making gender-specific behaviors
irrelevant. These stereotypes can be harmful because they motivate people to condemn and oppress those
who do not fit the traditional gender roles. As a result of this oppression, many people struggle to reach
their full potential. Therefore, it is critical that we encourage everyone to follow and express their own
truth, regardless of gender norms, so that everyone is able contribute fully to our society.

Strange as it may seem, the family roles have not changed much in today's society. While girls and
women (not only Polish) have more opportunities in home based employment, the traditional roles of
women are still quite evident. They are still the caring provider and nurturer of young infants and
children, the comforter for the crying child and the feminine presence of the household. While the

husband's role has diversified into more household chores and the cooking and cleaning up
responsibilities, they are still considered the head of the household.
(Text adapted from />2 Read the text and decide whether each statement below is true (T) or false (F). Write T or F in
the blank.
Despite women's advancements, substantial inequalities remain. Although an increasing number of
women are either the sole breadwinner for their family or share the role with their partners, women in the
United States are paid only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. The pay gap is even larger for women
of color. On average, African American women make 64 cents for every dollar that white men make.
While 2012 was a watershed year for women in terms of getting elected to public office, women still
comprise only 18.1 percent of Congress, despite making up more than half of the U.S. population. They
also face challenges on health issues, as 2012 saw continued conservative efforts to erode women's ability
to make their own decisions about their health and well-being.
A deeper examination shows that disparities for women also exist among states. Women in Vermont,
for example, make on average close to 85 cents for every dollar a man makes, while women in Wyoming
make only 64 cents - more than 25 percent less than women in Vermont. On leadership, 15 states have no
female elected leaders in the House of Representatives or the Senate. Lastly, while less than 10 percent of
women in Vermont, Wisconsin, Hawaii, and Massachusetts are uninsured, nearly 25 percent of women in
Texas do not have health insurance.

3 Read the passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C, or D).
For working parents in the U.S., the challenge of juggling careers and family life continues to be a
front-burner issue - one that is being recognized by a growing number of employers who have adopted

family-friendly policies such as paid leave. But while few Americans want to see a return to traditional
roles of women at home and men in the workplace, one reality persists: Women most often are the ones
who adjust their schedules and make compromises when the needs of children and other family members
collide with work, Pew Research Center data show.
In a 2013 survey, we found that mothers were much more likely than fathers to report experiencing
significant career interruptions in order to attend to their families' needs. Part of this is due to the fact that
gender roles are lagging behind labor force trends. While women represent nearly half of the U.S.
workforce, they still devote more time than menon average to housework and child care and fewer hours


of paid work, although the gap has narrowed significantly over time. Among working parents of children
younger than 18, mothers in 2013 spent an average of 14.2 hours per week on housework, compared with
fathers' 8.6 hours. And mothers spent 10.7 hours per week actively engaged in child care, compared with
fathers' 7.2 hours.
Another factor is the way that society views the bond between mothers and their children. In a 2012
Pew Research survey, the vast majority of Americans (79%) rejected the notion that women should
return to their traditional role in society. Yet when they were asked what is best for young children, very
few adults (16%) said that having a mother who works full time is the “ideal situation.'' Some 42% said
that having a mother who works part time is ideal and 33% said what's best for young children is to have
a mother who doesn't work at all. Even among full-time working moms, only about one-in-five (22%)
said that having a full-time working mother is ideal for young children.

A Better Body Image

Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present
moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body. It’s not about physical appearance.
Yoga studios typically don’t have mirrors. This is so people can focus their awareness inward rather
than how a pose - or the people around them - looks. Surveys have found that those who practiced yoga
were more aware of their bodies than people who didn't practice yoga. They were also more satisfied with
and less critical of their bodies. For these reasons, yoga has become an integral part in the treatment of
eating disorders and programs that promote positive body image and self-esteem.

creativity.

because you can speak and tell stories to someone on the other side of the planet, even though you both
don't speak the same language.

What is amazing about music is that it is imbedded within all of us. Everyone can understand it and feel
something if they open themselves up. Playing music with other musicians is an incredible feeling. Some
people describe it as rowing down a river together. There is a certain type of connection that comes when
you make music in a group. The same is true for those who are listening to music in a group and
interacting with music through Dance.
