Sweeping analysis of research reinforces media influence on women’s body image
While women are mentioned in media, people often emphasize on their figures and outside beauties. Frances’s legislature worries this kind of advertisement will mislead people’s judgments and decides to put a ban against media which will have some bad influences on women. Researchers hold positive appraisal toward this decision and think that offers citizens a chance to think over. What kinds of information about women we will get form the media and whether we will be guided to wrong value about them? Although this policy does has great result, these researchers still hope that women can have their own abilities to think whether these resources are worth believing and changing themselves.
Media really has great power to change people’s consideration. This article gives us an example about how it works in the society. It is an efficient way to spread some new concepts and inform the masses about them. These ideas will circulate among people and become the issues they are discussing about. It is a good phenomenon that every citizen can fully express their personal point of view without interference.
By this way, women get to know more information about their position in the society. Their thought and feelings are limited from long time ago. But, this situation changes through long period of time. Now, they begin to understand that they can make choices for many things by themselves. With their own consideration and abilities, they can deal with their own errands instead of being bossing by other people.

Opting Out? Why Women Really Quit Careers and Head Home
Pamela Stone summarizes the book, Opting Out? Why Women Really Quit Careers and Head Home, and discusses some important aspects of it. The records show that more and more women quit their job for taking care their children and husband. Part of the reason is also the pressure these women get from work. The book means to help them get rid of the anxiety from work and let them return to their career. This decision alters some women’s life as being a full-time mother and makes them have the courage and opportunity to prove their extraordinary abilities for their work.
As a matter of fact, a great number of women are tired of being a working mother. They have to compete with the male coworkers in the company, and after finishing their job, there are more and more stuffs to do in their family such as cooking and cleaning dishes. In this condition, some women would like to stay at home and deal with the housework. Being a housewife can be a way to get out of their job and find some place to rest both mentally and physically. At that time, that may be a good thing for them.
However, few women want to remain at home for the rest of their life. They will hope for the opportunities to get beck their work even it is a challenge for them. This article gives us a right direction about this issue. No matter stay at home or go out to work, women should have their own opinion to make the choices. Then, if having the difficulties adapting the works or environment, they can find somebody to consult about these things like their mother or other professional consultant. Therefore, they can know exactly what the problem is and work for it. Sometimes, things are not as difficult as people imagine if they can figure out the right way to fix it.

Is It Necessary for Career Women to Have Marriage
One of the traditions from China is that parents usually want their son or daughter to marry at very early age. This custom is passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. People regard marriage as one of the most important thing in their whole life. Besides, parents will deal with all those all those trifles for their children, including choose their mates. Then, if you refuse to accept their arrangement for you, that’s great disrespect and disobedience to the older.
As times goes by, some old costumes have faded away, but the importance of marriage has been deeply rooted in our mind. When people who are over thirty or forty years old without being married, they will start to panic and eagerly to find someone else to marry with. People act like this only to fulfill others expectation, like their parents or kinsman. However, having this kind of decision in a haste easily leads to some bad endings, or divorce.
From long time ago, our ancestors came out some thoughts about men and women’s duty, what kinds of characteristics they should have and what part they play in this big society. Those notions somehow turn out to be some kinds of stereotype. From then on, most of us think this pattern is absolutely right and judge our conduct by that. In those rules, men work outside to support the family, and women should stay at home concentrating on housework and dealing with their kids. If thinking that his wife does something bad, the husband can ask she to go home and never come back.
Differ from ancient times, people’s life and values have been changed a lot. Today women have their own career and think more extensively about their future. These alterations make us rethink the necessity of marriage.
