It is impossible to stereotype the average American college student, but it is possible to observe that college students are more practical and individualistic than their grandparents ever were. Some female students have discarded the traditional notion of marrying a tall, dark and handsome rich man. Those who still cling to the fantasy, do so discretely.
Most college males no longer think about acquiring an education to secure a decent job and provide for a nuclear family. These old-fashioned mind sets have been disregarded as we face a modern society with personal and professional options.
Traditional roles not only option in today's world
Pakistani women in work force
For better or worse, this is not the case for most Pakistani college students. Pakistani males still shoulder the burden of being the sole breadwinner of their households. However, most seek a wife who is well-educated and reasonably independent. Pakistani females are as intelligent and capable as American females, but many maintain concepts antiquated by Western standards. They are raised to be less individualistic and more
jobs or at least put their careers on hold for children. Pakistani society shuns the concept of child-care centers. Culturally and religiously, a woman's role is at home. This is not a symbol of degradation or inferiority, but a traditional method of ensuring children will be raised in a stable, nurturing environment. In Pakistan, a mother is with her child from diapers to college and sometimes beyond.
accepting of the conventional life pattern of studying, marrying and becoming a homemaker. Nonetheless, many women today are pursuing graduate degrees so that they can support themselves as the word divorce begins to slowly edge its way into the Pakistani vocabulary.

It's no secret that this phenomenon has become comparatively rare in the United States as more women strive for individual success and personal fulfillment. I embrace American principles of equality and individualism and cherish the fact that there is always another civil rights lawsuit or social movement around the corner. I plan on pursuing a career and making the most out of the increasingly woman-friendly society. Despite my liberalism, I recognize that there are two sides to every story, and we cannot ignore the not-so-rosy side of the American one. Along with the individualistic trend, we have witnessed drastic increases in problems such as juvenile crime and teen pregnancy, accompanied by decreasing family values and moral standards. Studies have suggested that the holes in our social fabric are at home.
Before feminists roll their eyes, it is important to remember that there are aggressive, working women in Pakistan. Maleeha Lodhi was Pakistan's ambassador to the United States and is now the editor of a major newspaper. Asma Jahangir is a famous lawyer and human rights activist. Benazir Bhutto was prime minister and is now the political opposition leader. These are only a few prominent examples of the strides women have made in their attempts to enter the work force, but old habits die hard. It will probably be a couple of generations before there are as many working women as working men in Pakistan.
between traditional roles and fierce individualism, but we don't live in an ideal world. Pakistanis may lack many of the modern, liberal social options, but they benefit from moral stability and family values. Americans may enjoy the fruits of a self-fulfilling, individualistic society, but many homes and neighborhoods are rampant with social problems and show no signs of improving.
The number of Pakistani women who want to work is growing,but most will quit their
Although many U.S. politicians and social activists are calling for a return to family values, it might be too late. As rapid Westernization in Pakistan places the nation at the brink of risky change in the upper echelons of society, the universal cycle continues.
