For the sake of social stability, the government has the authority that is able to exercise a compelling force.

In addition, in this article, I was interested in politics and gender, age, race.

Mention

 In this article, I was interested in politics and gender, race, class. In recent years, Problem of politics and sex, race decrease a lot. Currently, the South Korean president, is "박근혜". She is a woman. South Korea's president is an example showing that the political and gender issues has been reduced a lot. The President of the United States is a "Barack Obama". The president of the United States is black. He is an example showing that the political and racial issues have been reduced a lot. However, I believe that the political and class problem is still serious. In my week 4 posting, I was saying that I prefer conflict theory. Society is still unfair. Higher layer is easily possible to advance to politic through the education and personal connections with the rich assets. However, Ordinary people are opposite. In order to advance in politics, They must strive desperately. However, Most have also failed despite they try a lot. Our social structure will maximize these problems, and political and class issues will become bigger and bigger.

Question

I think seriously problem about politics and class. When you look at the social structure, There are two point of view. (conflict theory, function theory) What is your position? If you prefer a function theory, what is your opinion?

  1. I wonder if you think gender issues isn't serious in modern society! Most of crime victims are women, and most of high ranking postings consist of man, maybe cause of this might called 'glass ceiling'. As you said above, gender issues might have been reduced a lot, but I think it is still serious clearly.

    1. I don't think gender issues isn't serious. And I didn't write about that ,above. I say gender issues have been reduced a lot, But I think it is serious, too. My thinking differents your opinion. Man suffer many gender discrimination,too. Especially, Gender discrimination of korea is serious. For example, In recent, Rape incidents of Korea entertainer appeared too many. When we see article, All women's names are hided. But All man's name don't be hided. This is partial example of gender discrimination of man. Gender discrimination of women aren't all.
