Failing among students

In order to understand why students fail there are some important causes to be analyzed. Firstly, depression is the most common cause of school difficulties. People with depression have continuing negative thoughts about themselves and their future, and they may experience changes in their ability to concentrate and make decisions during a class. Secondly, students’ problems at home may also be an obstacle at school. If a student's family is experiencing violence, unemployment, or alcohol use by a family member, it may be difficult to concentrate on schoolwork. Lastly, the third important cause is related to the learning disabilities, which refers to conditions that interfere with gaining specific academic skills, such as reading or writing. Although these are not the only causes that lead to students’ failure, the study is based on the most common reasons. 

Working Women

Even though women have always worked in one way or another, they have increasingly become more involved in the workforce of every nation in the last fifty years. In the beginning of the 20th century, women used to perform home-based jobs such as sewing, laundry and cooking to sell on the streets. Many women were also employed in factories or as domestic service for richer families but they did not have the same opportunities than men had to be engaged in a wide variety waged work. In addition to their unpaid job at home which included cooking, cleaning and child care. Working class women had no choice but to work in order to help support their families.  Similarly, 21^st century women have to take care of their household chores and children’s needs besides the job they fulfill for others, which in most cases is essential for the family sustain. However, women aspirations have shifted from female-oriented jobs to an unrestricted participation in every field. These changes removed them from the domestic sphere and introduced them into the marketplace.  They now represent almost a half of the workforce in most countries and therefore became the most powerful engine for global economic growth.
