Some people believe that women should play an equal role as men in a country’s police force or military force, such as the army, while others think women are not suitable for these kinds of jobs. Discuss both views and give your opinion
Increasing numbers of women are beginning to choose jobs that were once dominated by men, one of
such
jobs is the defence Linking Words
such
as police and army. Some people opine that women are not fit for the military while others think women should be given opportunity to work with the force. Linking Words
This
essay will be discussing both views as well as my own personal opinion.
On the one hand, gone are the days where women are stereotyped to a particular type of profession. Presently many ladies have dominated positions that were Linking Words
initially
believed to be male's job. Jobs Linking Words
such
as engineering, construction, security, and different country's force have females who are efficiently working to contribute their best. Some women have the physical, mental as well as intellectual strength to function well in these roles, Linking Words
therefore
there is nothing that stops a female from working with the military if she fits the necessary requirement Linking Words
that is
needed. Linking Words
For example
, women soldiers in the United State contributed immensely to the Iraq war, both as war soldiers and as army medics. Linking Words
Hence
, they should be given the liberty to decide their career and contribute their quota to the society.
Linking Words
On the other hand
, some people believe that women do not have the physical strength Linking Words
that is
needed at the war, Linking Words
hence
they are not fit to work as a soldier. Linking Words
This
is because military work is a strenuous occupation that require a plethora of physical strength and stamina that they do not have. Linking Words
For instance
, in Nigeria some females who applied to join the security force dropped out after one week of training in the camp because they could not endure the severe training that they had to go through. Linking Words
Therefore
, women should be spared the stress of working in sectors beyond their physical stamina.
In conclusion, today people are clamouring for equal right and opportunities in all ramifications, including working in the defence. I am of the opinion that women should be allowed to choose their career path without any restriction, and Linking Words
this
includes working as a police or other security personnel as far as they meet the requirement of the position.Linking Words
