Abstract: (1131 Views) |
Motherhood as a part of women's life is a valuable stage that makes a woman have a different dignity than when she has not entered such a stage. Women's employment, as a common thing that has been valued as an economic value and a kind of social dignity for women in contemporary society, is contrary to their maternal dignity in many cases. The defenders of each of these sides of the moral conflict propose arguments. Achieving financial independence and a woman's social dignity is part of the argument of the supporters of women's employment against motherhood. In response, while evaluating the arguments of the suppoerters of women's employment, arguments can be made in favor of the moral dignity of the mother.
This article, using descriptive-analytical method, shows that motherhood, while being in harmony with the spiritual and physical requirements and real needs of women, is ahead of other temporary affairs such as employment. On the other hand, women's entry into different jobs and presence in the community, if it is not aligned with their motherly role, will cause many damages to mothers and their children. If women can fulfill their social responsibilities with the support and assistance of the family and the centrality of the main roles such as motherhood, then it can be collected between them. According to the natural, intellectual and narrative evidence in conflict situations, the dignity of a mother has priority over other roles of mothers such as employment.
