    Traditionally in China, the woman does not work. She raises children, cleans and cooks. The male is to work and make money to provide for the family and put food on the table. However when living in Canada, Chan Sam found it difficult to find work which led to May-ying becoming a tea house waitress. This was extremely degrading and Chan Sam found it difficult to accept. Tea house waitresses were usually not married and were looked upon as prostitutes, often doing sexual favors after hours. "But here in Chinatown, he couldn't repress a nagging feeling that he was a man wronged. He did not like having to share the company of his concubine with the regular customers of the Pekin Tea House."1 Chan Sam, unemployed, stayed home to raise Hing while May-ying worked in the tea house.

    Society today has established numerous new types and definitions of the word “work”. The division of labor has shifted and advanced due to reasons such as globalization and gender equalization. Instead of having to stay at home and do housework, women now have options to pick the kinds of work that they prefer. Women nowadays no longer have to rely on their other half for living because they are capable and well educated. With these changes in social reformation, we have created numerous different family conditions and situations. Arlie Hochschild and Amy Chua discuss in their articles “From the Frying Pan into the Fire” and “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior” the different types of work that mothers have today. Both authors argue that despite some mothers may have to go out for work, parenting is still a form of duty which all mothers have. These two authors described the definition of work differently. However, both authors define their perception of “work” from the same perspective for mothers. It is difficult and complicated for women nowadays to successfully undertake their roles. They believe that the idea of work in today’s society has been broadened and enlarged due to social advancement and feminist reformation. Work can now exists in various forms depending on each and other’s situations. Parenting is indeed no different than working in jobs. For women in both Western and Eastern societies, the idea of work is an obligation. It can either be a job or parenting.…

    A breadwinner is someone who portrays themselves as people who willingly give up all that they can to support the family. In the book “the breadwinner”, a girl named Parvana is chosen to be the breadwinner of her family for two reasons. One is because her father was taken to prison for being educated and two because she was the only one who could do it. The book “the breadwinner” had various themes to it but only one stood out. The theme of never losing hope is one of the most important lessons this book could teach anyone. The book showed this motive in many ways. They showed it in a vague way, a questioning way, and a definite way.…

    There are many different ways in which we evaluate people. The visual traits are one of the first to be noticed when we meet someone. These visuals include someone’s hair and clothing style, body shape and size, whether a person is fit or not.
