Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Most high-level positions in companies are filled by men even though 
the workforce in many developed countries is more than 50 per cent 
female. Companies should be required to allocate a certain percentage 
of these positions to women. To what extent do you agree?
Although women account for more than 50 per cent of the workforce in 
developed nations, a number of managerial positions are still occupied by 
men. Some believe that a certain proportion of these vacancies should be 
allocated to females. This essay, however, strongly disagrees with this 
statement because this can discourage qualified men to work hard, and 
such a policy can encourage organisations to find some wrong ways to 
outsmart the system. 
Reserving a certain proportion of high-level positions for women because 
of their gender may prevent educated males from making a contribution to 
the progress of a company. This is because any employee naturally wants 
to have equal opportunities for promotion irrespective of gender. If males 
at workplace are deprived of it, they are not motivated to work hard. For 
example, psychologists claim that the motivation and hard work of 
subordinates directly hinge on the promotional system of a company.
Furthermore, imposing a quota will make companies seek for some illegal 
ways to outwit this regulation since the priority of most companies is to 
reward employees with high-level positions according to their knowledge 
and experience, not their genders. Hence, if any law contradicts the policy 
of a company based on gender, the owners of that company are more 
likely to make modifications to outsmart the system, which benefits 
neither of them. For example, not to compulsively hire female employees 
to the top management of a company, owners can change the tittle of a 
position to just to fill a vacancy.
In conclusion, I strongly disagree with the idea of allocation of certain 
high-level posts to females because of their gender since this can

discourage qualified males to work hard and make companies find 
alternative ways to outwit the law.
