Maria Shriver

In our discussion about Maria Shriver's book, "The Shriver Report: A Women's Nation Changes Everything," we talked about the role women have in our society today. As women have become more recognized in the professional world, it has changed the dynamics of the traditional American family. This is what I found the most interesting about our discussion. Instead of stay at home mom's that raise children, women are becoming more integrated into the workplace, so family life has changed. This is both a good and bad thing I think. I think it is important for children to be raised by their parents instead of baby-sitters but I also think it is important that women be given the same opportunities to have a career that men have been given. It comes down to what is best for a person in their particular situation.
