30 years ago, what do you remember as a woman -vs- what is happening in the world today. One memory and what the change has been whether positive or negative. ~Word prompt~ I almost gave up because forty years from now, where on earth was I? Maybe in the void haha waiting on dad to hold on to mom....pfft...scratch that thanks Joan for making these questions get to everyone in their respective age box. I can't tell a lot about what has happened but I am sure to narrate changes that occurred twenty years ago both in the society back then and concerning me. If I should say thirty years ago then I must be a year old, so let's say twenty years ago. As a child, I always watched my mom doing chores, cooking, nurturing kids, doing laundry, cleaning and going to the market, and running some errands for dad. You Back then, it was seen as a woman's mandatory duties at home, and most fulfilled them else she would be tagged a disobedient wife or sent home packing to her parent's abode which meant that she was not eligible a trained housewife. Not only that my mom was brought in as a housewife but she was compelled to not talk in the presence of men as it is deemed disrespectful and unequal to speak based on gender/inferiority imposed by them. If she has something vital to share, permissions must be granted before she can be offered a hearing that's how I grew. Once my dad is back from work or a meeting, she quickly dishes out his meal and serves him appropriately and whenever I try to compare and contrast the difference between now and then, I still choose mom's time because ethics, morals, and virtues are valued and honored. In essence, where this narration diverges is that in this 21st-century morals and virtues are no longer implemented/valued/respected rather it's a preference based on choice/circumstances. It's termed " archaic " and the terminologies used to classify this is " modernization " https://read.cash/@Cesca_Jove/a-little-change-b81732e9
