Most high level jobs in the government are done by men. Some people believe that the government should encourage a certain percentage of these jobs to be reserved for women. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

① Today, while more and more women are playing increasingly essential roles in modern society, it has to be noted that most high-level governmental jobs are still within men’s grasp. ② For this reason, some people propose that a certain percentage of such positions should be assigned to women.

① From some people’s point of view, the practice may sound reasonable based on the following reasons. ② First of all, it is beneficial for the women to bring their talents in certain fields into full play. ③ It is widely accepted that women are generally more careful, patient and gifted in certain field like arts compared with their male counterparts and preserving some governmental positions related to such fields for them seems to be a decent idea. ④ Moreover, the move could be regarded as a sign of equality between men and women, which indicates the women’s value has been realized.

① While the above reasons seem sounding, the negative side of the practice should never be overlooked. ② Firstly, the packed-schedule of a governmental top position is likely to make women become so busy with their job that their family lives are always neglected. ③ The fact that the majority of female top employees in the US government are either single or divorced serves as a convincing example. ④ More importantly, the practice also harms certain capable male candidates’ interests and it is likely to make women to be more dependent on such preferential policies.
