Although the form has changed throughout history, marriage is a very important part to everyone. To human beings, marriage is a necessary thing and you can obviously see that when you look into the history where marriage is repeatedly shown. Men and women connected themselves to survive or to have a better life. The cooperation of each sex is mandatory for each other to survive, and it is shown also through daily life, not just through marriage.

   

 However, a number of arguments between sexes that are not based on logic take place in today's society. When these arguments occur, people do not care of the better way of solving problems, but only care to make it worse. It is caused from selfishness and also from the bias that has been distorted. Each sex recognizes the other sex as an opponent, not a partner to cooperate.

Although the society had the bias of treating women as inferior before, how can the case of young generations be told? For now, the most common place that the arguments take place is on web. It is inaccurate and also quick. This part became both the pros and cons of web sites, giving easy opportunities for the young to be aggressive.

It is because people have different inception toward the term 'gender equality.' There are generally two different types of equality- the absolute one, and the relative one. Absolute equality means giving the same thing to everyone. For example, when A is given one, B is also given one. However, relative equality takes each one's different ability into consideration. For instance, more time is given for the disabled people than for the others, because the disabled are in different circumstances from the unhandicapped people and it is impossible to have the same result in the same time. As you see, there are two different types of equality and this should be adapted depending on the situation. But, when people only insist on one side arguments occur. For example when it comes to voting in an election, absolute equality should be used since it is fair to have only one each. However, some points such as giving advantage for military service should be considered in terms of relative equality. When we only want to keep one's own profit, the two different equality get mixed up causing an endless vicious circle of sarcasm.

The reason that we should focus on sexual equality is because we can live a better life when it comes true. Although it is hard to generalize, but we have to admit that most males are physically superior than most females, or most females are more emotional than most males. It would work as a piece of a jig-saw puzzle, not as a topic of argument. Males and females have different characteristics and it cannot be judged to be superior or inferior. In addition, a human being's ability gets way better when those two sexes harmonize each other well.

There is a famous saying 'it takes two to tango,' which means we need someone else to do something. Recently, many efforts are given to settle sexual equality. It would be almost impossible to change the whole society's value judgment easily. But if every sex admits the others ability and tries to be in harmony, it wouldn't be impossible that the sexual equality comes true in this society.
