Assigment Two
Lets look a little further at what our society requires of men specifically, the responsibilities of parents and the changing roles of fathers. How do some of these issues affect our lives?

In another study, only 12% of fathers took any paternity leave, while 69% of mothers took maternity leave. Whats your opinion? Why wouldnt new fathers take the extra time, if they could?
