Role Play

When we interact in an environment all we do is to play different roles. Societal roles such as father, sister, wife and so on have certain process attached to it namely cultural, religious and genetic endowment related. This thought is the answer of this question- What does it takes to understand or interact social life?

Why people fail or do not perform better is their inability to understand these roles and the set of rules adhered to it. Now you would argue that no one performs a role but they do happen without any intentions or thereof. That is true but this argument itself has a catch. Let us say that if a child is grown in a family which has both its parents with entrepreneur mindset with a penchant for risk taking to accomplish ambitious goals then naturally the offspring has the characteristics of the same kind and the attitude would more or less allow that kind of thinking. Unfortunately in Indian context there exist may feminine roles which are evolved with a viewpoint of 'taming' in consideration. This may not be ominious in nature but even if its done with good intentions it portends to the idea of subjugation and dependability. Because of evident physical gender bias present in the society some times the need for providing security or livelihood to the feminine class  takes a larger context for inducing incapacitation for taking aggresive decison making. Is it good or bad? Well its hard to answer that.

Today's generation has a different take on gender roles as education system approaches more on the side of equality and middle class burgeoning more than ever. Since the average age of complete education has only risen over the decades, coeducation has provided wider avenues to develop some sensitivity on the indispensible issues. However this transformation is not so easy so seep into the minds which are for a long time been brain washed for several years. Conflicts do occur because of presence of hypocritic value system which is hard to reason with. Educated youngsters today feel a state of quandary or confusion when they approach traditional value system on the one hand and their peer system. Say for example every girl aspiring for a bright careers ceases to think about it on a ambitious level as she reaches to the end of graduation or after a few years of graduation. In my interaction for 'Industry Readiness Program' at least 80% of female students were ready to compromise with ambitious brands to less important factors as job location and travelling. When the sense of competition is so good among them while they are in academics what happens to them when it comes to the career. Reason is quite evident-social roles.
In males of same age i was able to identify a huge hypocrisy when it came choose their life parners. I guess this 'taming' the female counterparts has its demand originated from here. Also majority of them found marriage as a hinderance for ambitious careers because of them having to tow the entire new emerged family. To my utter surprise i found it to be true when i had interview a dozen of male candidates who had family base in village.
I got a lot of air cleared after the interaction session because my reservations were somewhat different. I then came to know that i was being much more idealistic when i thought that in a life partner you see a 50%-50%  sharing, caring and decision making roles. You aim together and now when you are alone pushing the cart of dreams there is another one who is ready to give hundered percent. Its not about working or housewife role but of a greater responsibility of constant moral support. Decision becomes more mature when it has been thought with 2 brains. But this theory is proving to be a way to much idealistic because in classical retro- thinking its just about playing old and cleched roles framed over generations to meet each others' social demands.
