We can find that although women and men could
have equal opportunities at work, roles in the family
remind us in many cases to those from the 70’s. For
example, differences between brothers and sisters
related to housework.
Therefore, roles in our society have experienced a
dramatic change on the surface but deep inside in
the family it seems that differences are not so clear.
Can we break the glass ceiling?
A glass ceiling is a barrier that you cannot see but
prevent you to reach your objectives in function of
your gender, race or social origin.
In our opinion, the role of women have changed but
not as much as we would like to.
No so many years ago, the role was limited at home
taking care of the children at home taking care of
children at home labours and the welfare of their
husbands. Only a few spouses had a career and
developed it working outside home.
Even in upper classes of the society, the role of
women was in the shadow.
Men worked outside the whole day and did not take
the responsibility of raising children.
The only jobs that women did were jobs without
responsibility, for example, as a secretary, a maid, a
shop assistant, etc.
When they got married, they had to leave their
positions and dedicate the rest of their lifes to
husbands, beloved children and the elderly.
Nowadays, many aspects have changed but we can
still appreciate some situations similar to 30 years
ago, and it does not really depends on the gender,
but also and mainly on education.
Finally, the hammer that can break the glass ceiling it
seems to be changing attitudes since the childhood
at home and school.
A letter of complaint
President of the European Parliament Parliament
and member of the European Parliament
60 Wiertz Street

Belgium
23th February 2016
We are writing to you to express our concerns about
some potentially illegal practices taking place in our
country. As citizens who care about this, we feel that
it is our duty to report any activities that may
compromise the integrity of our politicians.
The current situation in Spain is certainly disturbing
due to the increasing amount of cases of corruption,
organized crime and money-laundering.
Our demands are clear and they should be taken in
consideration.
Yours faithfully

Cadiz
is
beautiful city.
Is capital city

They say Cadis is
the city more ancient of the west. Throughout
history by many civilizations have passed.
Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans were among other
¨Gaditanos¨at the time.
Why Cadiz enjoys a rich history. In it you can visit
the archaeological museum or stroll through its

What´s happening in Spain at the moment?
In Spain the politic situation is very difficult. They
political parties aren´t being responsibles. I think
what us are having a irresponsible politic class.

The last week I´m watching a film buy it isn´t a good
film.

souvenirs typical Spanish. In winter it´s cold buy
today it´s doing a hot day, so the people are drinking
beers in the bars while they´re taking sunbath and

I think what in Spain there are too many laws but
they aren´t comply.
