Explanation:

Dear Sir!

In Q1 the words Imaginary dialogue are use so, I chose a real life problem in imaginary sense as a topic for dialogue.

Q.2: Reflect on below statement by keeping in mind philosophical thoughts on education in the 21^st century.

1. Aristotle excluded women from Higher Education

Solution:

“I may sometimes be willing to teach for nothing, but if paid at all, I shall never do a man’s work for less than a man’s pay” “Clara Barton”

Many women are still excluded from education, and many more are enrolled in school but are not learning enough to prepare them for 21st-century job market’s challenges. In some countries, access to secondary and higher education that help create a skilled and knowledgeable labor force continues to be limited; even where access is not a problem; the quality of the education provided is often low.

Though women form the majority of students and university graduates in most countries, but still women earn less and have lower employment rates than men. Even with regard to education and training, gender differences persist in both attainment and choice of courses of study. Women who do enter universities often tend to follow courses in arts and social sciences because they lack competence in scientific and technological fields. While men are more likely to have direct access to wage employment and control over wealth, while women are largely economically dependent upon male family member. Therefore in many countries women’s employment options are limited to a small number of socially acceptable occupations and professions, such as teaching and medicine.

Moreover In many countries women must obtain permission from a male relative, usually a husband or father, before seeking employment, requesting a loan, starting a business, or traveling. Such laws often grant women a smaller share of inherited family wealth. As a result, families tend to make greater investments in education for boys than for girls. In developing countries most of Girls often stay home to take care of younger siblings and bear the main burden of housework. While educating a boy is considered a sound investment, it is sometimes considered to be a waste of time for girls. They are shut out of education because of discrimination, poverty, emergencies and culture. These girls have the same hopes and dreams as boys. They want to learn, fulfill their potential, work and help their families and communities. But too often they are treated as second-class. They are exploited, abused and simply disregarded in many countries. Somehow they try to be protective towards women but unfortunately it turned out as dependent woman on men.
