These individuals may be men or women. But their role in a society is very important to existence of the human. If we think about housewife, she does so many hard works for the family and the society, even it is very essential to the survival of human.

Actually it is not a strong statement. Because even I don't see who said it to me. So, perception is very important in testimony. And also testimony is very very important to develop knowledge.
