Intro

  I was thinking about discrimination all as soon as look at Professor given material today. South Korea had a patriarchal social environment alone past.

However, today, women in several ways, has been out have been put out their own voice. As a result, we received the respect in how Korean society. But, you can see to constantly be conflict between the men and women who aspire to traditional values.

 

 About Sex and Gender

  The most interesting was the content in this article, was a difference of just gender and sex. Sex, which means that to distinguish biological properties as XY chromosome or XX chromosome.

On the other hand, Gender is a social role beyond these biological properties are means of being granted. And the position in the function theory and conflict theory was wondering that split opinion according to gender.

 

 Functional theory Vs Conflict theory in Gender

  Functional theory, in order to maintain a stable society, femininity and masculinity has claim to the respective functions. However, conflict theory is opposed to this.

Characteristics of the gender they were granted to women and men is a kind of hegemony, it will argue that stepped-down philosophy. They say that woman is obedience to the likelihood of women and claiming that male society to be bound to the masculinity is not correct.

 

 

About Racial discrimination 

In relation to the race it was often always a problem exist. However, I learned for the first time the origin of racial discrimination through the Read today's article.

After the establishment of the colony of Europe, the whole world, contact to the increase in the other society, it has finally grown the competence of racial and ethnic groups. We are always speaking of racism, we simply think of only whites discriminate against blacks.

 

  However, there are actually also discrimination against ethnic minorities and Oriental people. Definition of a minority group depends on the concrete situation, 
but it does not generally receive a great disadvantage to the main population if the minority. They are placed in an unstable state, and the easily absorbed into the dominant group. However, although their absorption is voluntary, in order to advance a better society, and will be called in order to overcome the stigma and discrimination.

 

I do not discriminate against Easterners have been included in the data, our compatriots have come to now of the West, and to have received a lot of bullying.

Looking at the only Korean, lately, elderly couple restraint incident that happened recently in Canada, you can know that there is a portion that is discrimination because Asians.
