CA Blogging Assignment #2

 My revised thesis statement for Essay 1 is that the politic system in Japan should be changed in order to make it easier for women to participate more in social leadership and the government should address the flaw in equality of the sexes. The three main supporting ideas for this thesis are as follows.
 The first supporting point for my thesis is that the equality of sexes in politics should be achieved because it also means the equality of sexes in leadership. 
 The second supporting point for my thesis is that there is still much inequality of sexes in Japan. Compared with other countries, in Japan there is much less participation of women in the government.
 The third supporting point is that the system used in the countries where women have made a success in the political field could be used also in Japan. It is possible to model Japan on these countries and make it easier for women to participate more in politics.
 Therefore, because of these three supporting points above, I will assert that the politic system in Japan should be changed and the government should address the flaw in equality of the sexes.

CA Blogging Assignment #1



 The topic for my essay 1 is the less participation of women in social leadership in Japan, as opposed to other countries.
 The reason I chose this topic is because I’m interested in politics and I feel there is still much inequality of sexes in Japan, especially in the political field. There is much greater participation of men in the Diet and there have never been any women presidents in Japan. However, as opposed to Japan, there are many countries where women have made a success as social leaders. For example, in Norway about 40 percent of the members of the Diet is occupied with women and in Rwanda almost 50 percent is occupied with women. These countries adopt several systems that make it easy for women to participate in politics. Then, why not in Japan?
 Therefore, I would like to write about the gender problems in politics. My thesis statement for this essay is that politics in Japan has a flaw in equality of sexes and the government should make it easy for women to participate more in social leadership.
