Alli Rising - Why Men Fail

The argument David Brooks is making in his article “Why Men Fail,” I think is very accurate because I believe women are so much stronger and are able to stay more focuses then men. Yes, women are not able to climb that high on the corporation ladder because most of them take time off to raise children. Many women in their 20s which is before they have children out earn men that are in their 20s. For anyone to be successful today they must be able to sit still and focus attention in school. One must also be emotionally sensitive and aware of context and able to communicate smoothly. These tasks are usually difficult for most men. In the book “The End of Men” written by Hanna Rosin, she relates women to immigrants that have moved to a new country. They are able to adjust to new social context and have the ability to adapt to new surroundings. She also states that men in a new country still focus on the old country such as speaking the old language or follow old habits. Rosin also states in her book that women are more likely to go back to school and pursuing a career, unlike men that just sit around and wait for jobs. According to a study by the National Federation of Independent Business most small businesses that are independently owned by women usually outperform male- owned small businesses. There is also evidence that women who have gone through a divorce or marital breakup are more likely to adjust easier than men and there is also evidence showing they raise their income by 25 percent. I believe the argument has many valid points and the evidence that women are more able to succeed within business can be seen throughout many communities.
