Women as Equals

In today's society, I think that women are considered much more as equals than ever before. I still think that there are some sexist views against women. 60 years ago, women could still not vote and were considered to be lower class citizens than men, but now women have the same rights as men. Today, many women are CEO's of major corporations and have high powered jobs throughout the US. However, in some parts of the world. women are still not allowed to go out in public or even show their face. Also, women are more commonly raped than men, which shows that there is still some sort of view of women as objects. Women are known to stay at home with the children and look after the family, but even though that is a job in itself, I think that is where a lot of sexism comes from. The theory that women are meant to stay at home with the kids as the dad goes out and makes the money. If people nowadays are brought up correctly, I think that discrimination against women could be eliminated. Despite there being major differences in the treatment of women, I believe that sexism still occurs and women are not treated completely as equals.

Would you have lied to your whole family if you were in Juliet’s position? Why or why not? Personally, I can't keep secrets about myself from my family at all! I would've definitely told my mother about marrying and being in love with Romeo. I think that it would've been wise of Juliet to have talked to them as well because then the wedding with Paris would have been delayed and it most likely would've turned out a whole lot better than everybody dying!!! I think that if there had been a lot more open communication between everybody, the story would be a nice happy ending.
How would you feel if you were one of the parents in one of these families after all this happened? If I were one of the parents in the story, I would feel so guilty. The stupid fued stole the lives of Mercutio, Tybalt, Romeo, Juliet, and Paris. I would stop the fued that caused all of the grief.
Was it right for Romeo and Juliet to run off and get married? Or was it foolish? Or both? Explain your response. I think that it was really stupid for Romeo and Juliet to get married right away. I know that they fell in love and everything, but just because you are in love doesn't mean you need to get married.
