It isbelieved that empowering women is a major step towards empowering a nation. Write an essay on the given theme.

Women's empowerment is an important step in the empowerment of a nation for a number of social and historical reasons.

Analyzing the predominant social system in the world through the periods of human history, it is possible to see how the positions of leadership, authority and politics were mostly assumed by men, it is the so-called system of patriarchy, where men assume power and they command society. While men exercised social power, women were assigned to marriage, to be parents, and when they could work, they were only offered jobs inferior to men.

This historical context lasted for many centuries and even today it is possible to see its effects on society. Although women have won many of their basic rights such as the right to vote, work and education through much struggle and thanks to feminist movements, there is still a lot to be achieved compared to men.

Even today, surveys show a large disparity between the wages of men and women, even in the same job function, women earn less than half the salary of a man. There is also social sexism rooted in society, especially in countries where there is greater social inequality and access to information. Misogyny hypersexualizes female bodies and considers them a man's right, causing women to be seen as sexual objects and more passive in suffering domestic violence and feminicide.

Therefore, female empowerment is a crucial part of a fairer and more equal society regardless of gender, when women understand that they can and should have the right to their own body, education, equal wages and the possibility to choose their own destiny as an individual. that is, it becomes an essential part of the process of social change, it opens debates, encourages legality, protection from abuse, its just and dignified freedom.

Empowering women is empowering a nation, it is moving so that there are no more abuses and violence, it is a matter of public health, it is urgent and it is real. Women need security and protection, they need to have a voice and they need to be able to be in a male-dominated environment in the certainty of their capacity and intelligence as a free being.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.

"it's more of an essay than story, but perhaps it is best described as a mood-piece: it uses a lot of musical imagery, not to mention sea imagery, religious imagery, and any other imagery that suits his purpose."
