Transformation from the olden ways of life has majorly affected man. Long are the days when ladies were solely expected to submit to their husbands. Equality at all levels is the in-thing in offices and families alike. This has confused women spoilt for choices as there are no prior rules detailing the way forward.

Corporate social responsibility dictates they promote only work that improves welfare.

Conversion of the world to a global village has made the internet more powerful than any government. A lot of information and literature is availed there for free or at a cost.
