Answer:

is significant because public activities often have greater prestige than domestic ones do.

Step-by-step explanation:

The domestic–public dichotomy is used to describe a social phenomenon that usually occur in contemporary societies that offers a distinction to some extent between a domestic, also called private sphere, and the public or social sphere. In simpler terms, it is used to provide a difference between the home and the outside world. It is significant because activities done in the outside world usually supersedes those done at home in prestige.
