Traditional marriages still exist however we've seen nowadays a lot of changes in many aspects.One of them is that marriages don't last as long as they used to do in the last century, indeed more than a half of them end in a divorce: the main reason of this big change,beyond that the divorce is not prohibited any more, is due to the fact that men and women formerly needed each other to survive because of the life conditions they were living in especially women, fortunately it's no longer the case.Women are more independente economically, have more rights, are more educated..etc, so there is no reason to put up with a bad relationship or just to cope with a marriage that doesn't work properly, and as far as I am concerned it's a damn good thing!

HOW THE ROLE OF WOMEN AND MEN HAS CHANGED
The role of women and men has changed enormously over the last 30 years. But do they have similar responsibilities these days?
40-30 years ago women´s lives and men´s lives were absolutely different. While boys were educated to be the head of the family, earn a salary and wear the trousers in the marriage, girls were brought up to be good mothers and wives. Consequently men used to work all day outside the house and women would look after their children and the house. It was absolutely normally that men didn’t know neither cook, nor iron nor give a bath to their children, and it used to be an exception that a woman worked. For example, when I was little all my friend´s mother didn’t used to work and I remember that I didn’t understand because my mother had to work and she couldn’t go to my school´s parties.
Currently, in Spain at least, the role of women and men has changed dramatically. Firstly as boys as girls are brought up to study and to get a profession so that they can have a successful career in the future, as a result, both of them when they are adults, work outside the house. However women usually have jobs with less responsibility than men because employers see them as an expense because of maternity leave. So a woman has to work harder than a man if she wants to get an important post. Another major change is that, as men and women work outside the house, in the marriage they have to share housework and education of their children. Therefore, men have learnt to do a lot of things. Now they sweep, dust or dress their children. Nevertheless, It´s understood still that women are the main responsible for their children and the house and men only should help them. In my case my partner cooks and cleans, but I have to tell him how and when he has to do it.
Although nowadays women have more responsibilities and a harder life than men, I personally believe that these changes are positive because they are part of a process in which we are engaged to get complete gender equality.

HOW THE ROLE OF WOMEN AND MEN HAS CHANGED
The role of women and men in the family life and work has changed immensely over the last 30 years. But do women have the same rights and duties as men nowadays? Or, in exchange, have women got more responsibilities than 30 years ago?
Traditionally, women have worked at home. They used to do the household chores and look after their children while the husbands were working to feed the family. I have one brother, and my memories are all about being with him and my mother, doing my homework, going shopping or playing board games in my living room. My father rarely appears in these memories, because he worked nine hours a day with forest machinery. He would go back home at seven or eight o’clock in the evening and he was so tired that he only wanted to have dinner and watch TV.
At present time, women and men’s daily routine has changed enormously. Firstly, female population has joined in the labor world and they hold management posts with more salary and responsibilities. Mainly, it is due to the fact that the prices of food, clothes, petrol and home are higher and families cannot survive only with the man’s salary. In many couples, women earn even more money than their partners and they take charge of the main bills. So, it is common for women to be the head of the family. On the other hand, there is a more balanced distribution of housework between both members in the couple. Husbands and male partners have learnt to cook, wash dishes and plug in the washing machine, because their wives and girlfriends aren’t at home all day.
Finally, another major change is the children and old people care. It used to be a task only for women, who had to look after their children, parents and parents-in-law. However, people don’t have enough time nowadays, and they prefer to employ social workers for their elderly relatives and activities out of school for their sons and daughters.
In conclusion, I personally believe that female population has the same obligations and rights as their partners and, in general, men are more conscious about gender equality.
HOW THE ROLE OF WOMEN AND MEN HAS CHANGED
Over the last 30 years the role of woman has changed enormously. Furthermore, this situation affect significantly to marriage. But, to what extend, are these changes positive of negative?
Everyone is aware of the fact that women’s role has dramatically changed. for instance, 30 years ago, women used to stay at home looking after their husband and children. Nonetheless from that time on, women have improved their qualifications and thanks to that, women are more in depended since they get their own work contract with out the need of depending from men.
Nevertheless, apart from all the positive points mentioned of the previous paragraph, there are some negative aspects to take into account. As soon as all of these changes happened, women spared more time in their jobs than at home. That is the reason why family structure has changed dramatically. Nowadays, families are smaller and there are a good deal less children. As women work outside their home, both parents have more trickies to bring up a large family.
As a consequence, both parents have short time to see each other, that make they run out of love and in the end they break up.
That is the reason why there are more single parents.
Finally, in my opinion, regarding to this topic, there are both, advantages and drawbacks. I totally agree that women have to and need to work outside the home to get their independence and their own social life. But I personally believe that they should work as a part time in order to take their time to be dedicated to there nuclear family as well as grow up.
WOULD YOU MARRY ME?
------------------------------------------
Since early childhood we have been told that “Marriage” must be one of the greatest goals in our lives. Yet, we never pause to wonder “Are singles the black sheep of the society?”
As a youngster I grew up with both of my parents at home as all my classmates did. When we had an extended family get-together everyone had their own couple. As a result, it was really weird to see a single relative.
But time went by, we were in the 90’s and most of the people the same age as I am, had finished University or simply had made a living on their own way. Some of them were married., others still wanted to go sightseeing or enjoy the night life. And finally, there were those who were afraid of commitment. By that time, unmarried people were discreetly scattered all around.
Nowadays, society has changed and remaining alone is a personal option. Although our mothers stare us with a tear behind their eyes begging for grandchildren, there are many people who really envy our situation. No wonder we are fitter and look much better, their children had taken up all their time.
To sum up, being alone is not the same than feeling loneliness. The eternal singles will never have someone who takes after themselves or minds them while they are ill. Nevertheless, the freedom sensation has no comparison. So, all in all, does it matter whether someone would marry us or not?
SOME WOMEN THINK THEY HAVE THE POWER…
How the women lifestyle has changed?, Some of them think they have the power, but the reality is that if a woman have a family and have a job, their life can be a hell. It is evident that nowadays the way of life for women is much more different than fifty years ago, so, do woman have the power nowadays.
In the past the role of the women was very definite. Women in general stayed at home doing all housework and looking after their children while men worked and earned the money to support his family. Women lived agree with this kind of lifestyle.
Women weren´t allow to vote, and they couldn´t go out without their husbands. However, early in the twentieth century things began to change.
I think because of the war, many men were to go to fight, and this situation meant that women had to worked in factories during this period. Many women felt fulfilled working and earning her own money, and most of them felt that her life never came back to be like years before.
One hand, women these days tend to be more independent, and this mean that they can choose their own life and want to work. But the reality is that although their lifestyle has changed in many cases women are overloaded because working full time in a factory or office, and then when they come back home they have to do all housework, this is due to the role of the women is still being like a years ago, where men felt superior to the women. This could be once reason for the increasing divorce these days. And is the reason because many women decide be single women or have babies over her thirty.
In these days women tend to run their own lives and live how they want. They have bigger expectation about what they want in their life. The most important change is women can choice what stylelife they want to live. I think world is better since women can decide for themselves, so women to the power!
IS CHATTING A GOOD TOOL TO MAKE HER/HIM FALL IN LOVE?
Meeting people is different in the past and now, but do you think chatting is the best option to get to know someone?
In the past, if people wanted to meet a person they went to their homes and ask for him or her. Nowadays, it is simpler than this: you get their mobile phone number and just chat. Researches had found chatting is not as bad as people think, it is a good way to become friendly with somebody and you were probably asking why.
Firstly, when you are chatting with someone you are less shy than face to face and this could help you to stay better with the other person later, on your first official date. Furthermore, if you are chatting you won’t get stuck talking with her/him because you can just stop, breathe and think. Other advantage of get in touch with someone simply texting is that you can talk with them in spite of the distance. On the other hand you can get the wrong end of the stick because you can misunderstand them by their written words.
In conclusion, though you have to take care of confusions nowadays get a date with somebody is simpler than fifty years ago because you can first chat and then meet this person. But you can’t forget that the most important thing of chatting with someone is to be honest and don’t lie about yourself (unless you want to waste your time).
HOW MARRIAGE HAS CHANGED
It is known that marriage has changed drastically in the last century. But what are the most important changes?
In ancient society, being married was one of the most important life elements. First at all a long time ago people did not associate marriage with love. Sometime the parents accorded the wedlock. Men and women had to be very sure when married. Divorce was forbidden, forcing many women to stand some tough situations. Also people got married very young, and used to have children around 20 years. Most marriages were performed in churches, and was refused that couples had lived together before marriage or if they had children.
Nowadays all of this is completely different. The most important for people is to be in love with their couple. Another evolution is about the age when people get married that is normally around thirty. Another major change is concerned for legislation. Due to that, people can divorce whenever they want and it has allowed the marriage between people with the same sex. Finally, most people think that marriage is obsolete, as a result the number of marriage is in decline whereas the unmarried cohabitation is on the rise. And in the case of marriages, almost are civil and not religious ceremonies.
To sum up, is this new vision of the relationship the best? In my opinion, all the changes are according to the society changes, and all of them are positive. Marriage is very important, and to be sure, you must know your couple very well.

THE ART OF DATING
There are different kinds of dating, but what is the most successful? Nowadays our live have changed a lot as a result of the progress in technology, also, in relationships, so we have more ways to get to know someone.
In the past is the classical dating when you met with someone to drink a coffee like initial contact. Today is more common to speak through a screen. There are a lot of people who disapprove this fact because it is less human than a normal conversation; however, it is very strange to found a person who don´t use any kinds of social networks like whatsapp, msn, skype…
Lives change and we must change with it but without losing our good manners. If you want to know a person the best way for doing it is meet with him or her to walk, drink a coffee or whatever thing that permit you not only speak or watch her/him, moreover, watch their feelings, their reactions… in other cases you won´t get to know him/her really.
Online dating is good to know new people from other countries or to keep in touch with a friend or relative who is living abroad. They are fantastic when people are shy and for them is highly hard express their feelings when they are still meeting this person.
To sum up, I think that dating throw internet are helpful but can never replace traditional appointments.
HAS DATING CHANGED SO?
If you are middle-age and have to answer this question it is quite certain what your reply would be.
Finding a partner is one of the most changing aspects in our society and more than ever over the last thirty years.
Nowadays most people meet online either posting a profile on a dating site or making contact through dating agencies on internet. More than anything this is due to the fact that today’s men and women don’t have enough time for a slow courtship and they can stop having to try to chat up strangers in bars or discotheques. It is much more comfortable when you get to know someone from your own home.
But I can’t help looking back on my twenties when meeting people was as easy as making eye contact or just by a silly question without meaning while you were having fun with friends at bars or dancing clubs. There were a lot of couples that got to know each other through their friends as well. I think that it was more or less the same in our parents youth but, what about our grandparents or great-grandparents?. I’ve heard that men in those years used to wander around where the girls whom they liked lived. Not one or two days but even months before they managed to get to talk with them. We now would find that a complete waste of time but, thinking of that it does sound romantic, doesn’t it?.
WOMEN TURN TO MEN AND VICE-VERSA
Women’s and men’s roles have changed enormously over the last 50 years. However, is it a good change for society?
Obviously, It’s difficult to look back and apreciate how partnership has changed fifty years ago due to I’m in my twentys. Although, according to my grandparents changes are evident. On the whole, men used to be responsible for work, make money and give protection. I mean they had to support the family and make sure they couldn’t be damaged. In fact, ladies might have gone for a walk with a man to feel safe and a gentleman always paid in a date. On other hand, women brought up childreen and done housework. Basically, the perfect wife had the house cleaned and the meal just cooked on the table by the time her husband arrived at home. Generally, wifes depending on husband to life.
Nowadays women and men mixed roles. In other words, men usually do shopping, cook, some of them help female to clean their own house and give cares to progeny. In fact, they could be out of work for months because of being on a father leave. Talking of women, they work out of home getting a financially independent and as result, they have the possibility to get a life by her own.
Sinceraly, the new situation gives benefits to female and male because it lets both to enjoy all in all in life.
Do these changes mean that society is evolving in a good way? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps not everybody feels the same.

SUPERWOMEN'S TIME
I
Women's lives have changed enormously over the last 50 years. But do they have a better life than their mothers did?
Traditionally, women have worked inside home cleaning, cooking and taking care of their children. I remember how in my home town, ordinary people had in addition to work in the olive fields in winter, in the cotton fields in the spring and in the vineyards in autumn, due to the low salaries. In a family all the components had to work, the parents and sons in the fields and the daughters, till they were strong enough, as nursemaids. Consequently, the mother and daughters would work inside and outside home, whereas men only did outside. Obviously the money women were paid was not their property but the father.
At first sight, it would appear that our lives have advanced enormously nowadays, due to electric machines that helped us to do the household chores, but it is done mainly by women. When men get involved in that, they usually say they "help his wife" as if it is not his duty.
Moreover, when a couple have children, the responsibility always fall on the woman, because of her nature, of course, but in most cases due to men don't get involved. That is why a high percentage of single-parent families consists of the mother and her children.
As a result, women become responsible mothers, whereas men become single without responsibility.
From my point of view, women in our culture have achieved their independence, supporting their families, with children or without them, although the price they have to pay is to become SUPERWOMEN'S.

CHANGING GENDER ROLES.
Men and women´s roles in society have changed hugely over the last 30 years. But, this change in gender roles has been good or bad for the future generations?
Firstly, a gender role is the place you hold in the family, relationship or society being male or female. Historically, we learn what is a gender role intuitively by observing our family relationships and society around us. So, a man´s gender role was the breadwinner and earning money to support the family. However, a woman´s gender role was to care for the family and household.
In the last few decades, however, these gender roles are getting closer. It is common to see more and more woman heads of household providing most or all of the household income. Being dads who stay home bringing up and caring for children.
These days increasingly, young women continue their careers after having children at the same time they building a family and fulfill her role as mother. As a result, young men aspire to care for their children as a first priority, rather than their careers. More than anything this is due to the fact that both genders worry far more than they used to about finding a balance between work and life.
Do these changes mean that parents are more involved in the lives of their children and that boys and girls have role models? I personally believe that we should make our life and work choices based on our goals, interests and priorities, and not only in what society says we must do.

To work or not to work
The way we work has changed hugely over the last 30 years. Some believe that no.
30 years ago…. I was a child but people like our parents can look back on the past with some nostalgia. In those days everybody had a job- although bad paid- and others looked forward to find them soon- today it is a fairytale.
They comment me that those days were characterized by the beginning of free trade and the new technology and many women began to balance work and home. However there were also ones who were against the new innovations.
These days, in Spain, the economy was started to open to the world and wanted to belong to the select group of modern countries. Firstly, women noticed they could work so and more as a man. As a result women become self-sufficient and independent. Men had to help at home.
Another major change was the technology. A few of people saw an enormous opportunity meanwhile others felt hate towards that new thing –nowadays we cannot live without it.
Finally, we notice that the way to work before and now it is totally different. Computers, smartphones, intelligent TV, and more new gadgets have replaced the manual work we did and the relationship that we kept between our colleagues.
All these changes do some young people miss other way of working. In fact, despite to using new technology to get a job and to express our ideas, we want to keep some pieces of the past. For instance, there are businesses which have set up basing on old ideas as selling bulk. I personally believe in the balance between new technology and old ideas and thus our world would be better.
LOOKING FOR A JOB TODAY
These days, applying for a job is as simple as sending your CV via email and waiting for a response to get a job interview. Far from that, in the sixties you had to go from one company to another handing your CV directly to the manager and wasting a lot of time moving from one place to another. But, is it at the present time also easy to become an employee?
According to my father, in the sixties there was more poverty than there is nowadays. And therefore, like many others, he had to go abroad to earn his living. Staying with his close family would have made getting by worse for the other members of the family as resources were limited. The situation in those years was similar as it is today, but people could emigrate to other foreign countries and get a job only by passing a medical checkup. So, today we are living a similar situation as it is difficult to get a job and people have to go abroad in order to survive.
But unfortunately not all people are able to emigrate. You need to be able to get by in the language of the country where you aim to go and you are required to hold technical qualifications. Most of today´s youth need to be economically supported by their parents or even their grandparents as they can no longer maintain themselves.
The way we work today has changed enormously compared to the sixties. This is evident in areas such as teleworking, which has been possible thanks to all the breakthroughs in the field of technology. This new way of working and dealing with companies and customers saves companies both time and money. However, the serious economical crisis that our country is going through, doesn´t allow work to develop as it should.
To sum up, I think the change that work has undergone in the last fifty years is clearly positive as all the new technologies have permitted to increase yield and save time and, despite the fact that it is as difficult as in the sixties to get a job, once we get over the recession, I’m sure it will be easier to get a job and maintain ourselves.
The role of women and men.
Fortunately, the role of women and men have changed a lot since thirty years , although some strangers, who write and public books as “Cásate y sé sumisa”, doesn’t want changes. Well, apart comments, many time ago, thirty years, women did all homework and were looking after children at home while men were working outside and earned money. In other hand, it was too many stereotypes about jobs for men and women, for example it was rarely to see a woman bus driver o truck driver, if women worked outside they did as a teacher, or a man working as a nurse was unusual, for that they name is male nurse, absolutely different than now.
Although the situation has changed, is not enough. Nowadays, our society is sexist, not egalitarian and above all very hypocrite. I say that because we have big sexist problems and our effort, in my opinion, gone in the wrong way. The Institution expends time and effort on use of language not sexist, is not bad but is most important make efforts in egalitarian education since we are babies and to destroy deep sexist habits, rules and law establishes for a long time ago. The society changes quicker than law.
In conclusion , the role of men and women are different now than thirty years before, the more level of education of people the bigger is the change, for that is absolutely necessary to improve the quality of our education.

HOW HAS CHANGE OUR LIVE IN THE LAST THIRTY YEARS?
About marriage and relationship, I would say that has changed in a big way.
First, marriages are in the short- term at this time, due to women have the same role than men in the society.
What have these changes occurred? We live in a more materialistic society than thirty years ago. It´s common for both, the man and the woman, to work outside the house to earn more money in order to keep a high level of life. As a result, they spend less time together and the relationship is more weak.
In the other hand, the woman thirty years ago, was more dependant of the man; she used to spend long time at home only caring the children and doing the homework. At the present time, wifes work even more hours than husbands outside and there is the feeling that there isn´t time to support a dominant situation in the marriage and therefore they are more independent with their partner.
In relationships have occurred big changes too.The infidelity, the break-up relation, the devasted messages on Internet, the sexual problems, the economical problems.. they are some of common problems in a present relationship.
Nowadays, i think the Internet is being able to stay in touch with people who are far away, but it´s debatable wheter or not a woman has fallen in love with someone or only feel sexual attraction, not love. So it´s very usual that she, after a short time, goes off this person.
However, thirty years ago, the relationship was in a long-term and men and women were getting married for ever.
According to this, has the marriage changed at this time?. Do these changes mean that relationship is totally different?.
In my opinion, when one fall for someone, the feeling is the same now and before, and in both time we wish to get a sucessful love, definitely to get the hapiness.

Change the minds of women in society
Everybody can see when we walk by the cities that the role of the women and men have changed over last 30 years. What has caused these changes? Why did that the women work out of her houses?
Before of our days, usually the men worked out of houses to maintain the homes while the women stayed at home in order to do homeworks. Just in some places you could see a several women that they worked out of their houses, like farmer or in similar jobs. Being that, this jobs are more delicates and it's better than those jobs are done by women.
The advance of the society has done that people want to live better that several years ago. For this reason, members of the family, father and mother have to work out of houses in order to earn a lot of money and so, they can spend in comforts and whims and not to have needs.
So, women spend a lot of time out of her houses and the role of the men has changed because both share houseworks and don't stay at home. Not in all position the role of the women have changed as in some sectors like industrial don't want them to work there. Moreover, they have other handicap. If they want to have a child, it's so dificult that a business hire them. In other countries the maternity leave is shared. And this period is the same for both.
I think that it should revise the laws in this way. The maternity wouldn't be a problem to hire a women. And the mind of the people should change too, because some women are worse than many men and they criticize about themselves.
