A Womens Place is in the Home. To what extent do you agree with this opinion.

The notion that a woman is at home is an opinion that is not feasible in the era of sophisticated technology now. Women are a group of people who occupy almost half of the earth. Their contributions are either in economic, social and technology can not be questioned. In Malaysia, women not only play in the formation of the next generation even as the national employment statistics, the role of women will increase from year kesetahun. In the U.S., for example, a survey was made which according to the survey, women will fill 48% of the workforce by 2005 and will surpass one-third of the country's business sector. In addition, 48% of female employees will contribute 50% of family income. These figures clearly show that women are now totally different from the past. Other developments that followed the change is the loss of the notion that the world women are at home. In fact, for women to work, it is a positive benefit, both for women and for his family. Some positive aspects are supporting the household economy. With work, family financial resources mean that not just one, but two (husband and wife). Therefore, the couple can strive for a better quality of life for families such as in the case of food, education, shelter, and health facilities. Work can also improve self-esteem and identity consolidation. Work, allowing a woman to express herself with creative and productive way to produce something that can give rise to pride yourself, especially if the performance received positive recognition and remuneration. Through work, women seek meaning and identity of the cause itself and the achievement of high confidence for achieving happiness in life. Healthy and positive relationships with families. Women who work tend to have a

wider scope and variety, so tend to have patterns of thought that is more open, more energetic, have a broad vision and dynamism. Therefore, the existence of a potential partner's wife for the husband to be friends to exchange ideas, sharing their aspirations and expectations, the views and responsibility.

Women are also involved in meeting the social needs of society. Every human, including the women have a need to establish social relationships with others. By working, a woman may also meet in a 'togetherness' and to be part of a group or community. However, socialization is important for everyone to have a vision and broad way of thinking, to improve the 'social awareness' - and, most importantly, to be a place of "exile" in a positive energy from all kinds of problems that cause stress either the problem being experienced with her husband, children or in employment. With a moment to meet friends, they can learn from the stories and problems, also change their minds. Women are also heavily involved in charities in the community. Their voluntary contributions have been made the provision of their time at home is decreasing. Women who engaged in such activities must divide their time wisely. By working, a woman can adapt to the demands, responsibilities and competing claims. This being the case that a woman claimed to think and act creatively, to find aspects that can be developed for the betterment of himself. Skills upgrading and continuous competition will bring more value to himself as an employee and a sense of trust and confidence established.

Women today are also involved in politics where there is also among the ministers of women. Voices in the halls of Parliament and the council representative of the people also need to communicate the desire of women for women. In conclusion, I not agree that a women place is in the home at home. A study of the lives of women happiness work, done by Walters and McKenry (1985), showed

that women who work tend to feel happy where they can connect or integrate family and work life in harmony and balance. Therefore, when there is a conflict of roles experienced by working women, the situation will affect the level of satisfaction in his life. Guilt (leaving the temporary role as a housewife) is stored, makes these women can not enjoy his role in the world of work. In today's situation of the women outside the home is relatively small in comparison to the past requires the support and understanding from the husband. This collaboration will make the women outside the home will always be calm and less stress.
