Some people are of the opinion that women should play an equal role in police or military forces like the army. Others believe that this work is unsuitable for women. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is no doubt that women nowadays are playing an increasingly significant role in our society,

in particular

by taking up employment in sectors which were mainly male dominated. While some are of the opinion that women are not suited for police or military forces, I would agree with those who agree that they should be given an equal chance. Many believe that women cannot be employed in the

force.

This

is because arguably, females do not have the strength and stamina required for

such

a strenuous job.

For instance

, in sports competitions, the difference in physical strength of man and woman is obvious. Some men can run faster and are stronger than their female counterparts.

However

is that women possess other attributes that can be of benefit to those sectors.

For instance

, a woman is likely to be more inclined to being nurturing and caring;

traits are ideal for female medics in the army.

Moreover
