Compare & contrast essay
Behind every great man there is a great woman. Behind her is his wife. Gorucho Marx. In prehistoric men were hunters and women gatherers. The men protected the family from the dangers of the outside world and the women raised the children in the inner world. Both provided various activities like birth, hunt, breed, defend or fight, and at the same time the different activities generated differences in the way of perceiving the other and the world in general. So they are different in physical aspect but not so similar inside.

In a group of friends people can easily differentiate a woman from a man because main characteristics of each. Instead women reach adulthood faster than men and when a boy still thinking about playing with his toys a girl already started to plan her future. Therefore women take care of themselves and their as maternal instict while men still remain classified in some parts of the world ar workers, the one who get the money fot the family. Nevertheless nowadays this has changed drastically. Besides, their skills are distinct for example women can empathize with their enviroment and do many things at the same time and on the other hand men rather concentrate in one thing at a time. However exist some similarities like some woman enjoy practicing the same sports as a man does. Both have a difficult age: women pass through menopause and men deal with something called andropause. Even so both genres can live together in a respect and tolerance atmosphere.

Whereas women and men take a contrasting place in the world they need each other. So I think is difficult to decide who is the better gender because if the world only have woman or man it will not be interesting. Both have different skills and ways of thinking but two need of her or his partner to do things better.

The student lifestyle is fun and complex. The first thing we do in the morning is wake up to get ready, maybe taking a shower, dressing and eating a breakfast. Then you go to take the bus to school. There we are about five or eight hours. And if we want we eat there. If we have been doing homework last night and you did not sleep well is tired. Depending the grade, our education is different. In elementary school the kids are playing all the time. In secondary high school the education is a little more serious, but we still playing. Later, in most of high schools we can choose a career (mechanics, nursery, electronics, informatics, etc). In university we choose the career for the rest of our lifes. The student lifestyle is generally great, because we learn new things. Also we learn to coexist and to be amicable with the people around us.
