How was the medieval korean society structured?

While we don't know exactly when the Middle Ages were, it is often said to be from the fifth century until the beginning of modern times, when the Western Empire collapsed and the Great migration of the German people in European history. In Korea, it starts with the mid- to late-30s of the Three Kingdoms Period, where Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla existed. Perhaps the end was the Unified Silla, which passed the Goryeo Dynasty and was in the early Joseon Dynasty. Therefore, it was basically a society where kings existed, considering the Korean society of Unified Silla and Goryeo, which existed during the Middle Ages. People were able to get into government service according to their talents and status. There were times when the powers of bureaucrats were reduced to strengthen the royal authority, but there were times when bureaucrats ruled the king with all their power. The throne was largely handed over to his son. The status of the aristocrats is the same. The children of the aristocracy were the children of the common people, and the children of slaves were the children of slaves. There were cases of the aristocrats collapsing, but most of the posts were handed over to their sons. As for this status, the Joseon Dynasty changed a little. On the authority of women and men, there is also a statement that unlike the Unified Silla Period, women's power was strong during the Goryeo Dynasty.

Is modern democracy really "the will of the people"?

Democracy is that the sovereignty of the state is in the people. Modern democracy is where all citizens are equally involved in politics. However, it is difficult to ask the opinion of all the people in all matters. Therefore, we will choose a representative. People pick representatives who they think are in accord with, and delegates do politics on behalf of the people. Of course, the important part is that all the people give their opinions. However, the majority of the work will be handled by representatives and often contradicts the will of the people. In this case, the people can tell the delegates what they mean, but it doesn't work. Of course, like the last presidential impeachment, the nation's democracy seems to be well preserved. However, there are many areas where many people are feeling frustrated and distressed. However, it seems difficult for the representatives to resolve this issue. Is it true that a democratic society is a society in which many, not a few, are struggling? Is it right for the delegates to hear the voice of the people? I don't think the politics that the delegates are doing reflects the will of the people or the real democracy.

What keeps society?



Maintaining society is a role for each individual. In addition, each individual is linked to another individual and interacts. That is, each individual has a role to play, and the performance of that role affects others. When everyone has done their part, society builds a stable structure. I think it is also the culture and law of society that creates and controls people's roles. Laws define what should and what should not be done and help people act. Those who go beyond their prescribed behavior are harming others and becoming evil in society. Culture is the rules that they have learned and felt and kept throughout their lives. Therefore, they can create and control their roles with the law.

When do you think globalization started?


Even in the middle of the 13th century, East Asia and Europe were connected. Can we call it globalization because of the existence of exchange? We need to know the concept of globalization first. In order to understand globalization, we must first understand globalism. Globalism is the interconnectedness of countries on many continents. Globalization refers to the growing process of this globalism. I think globalization began in the 19th century. Prior to the 19th century, exchanges between countries were costly to transport and had high trade barriers between countries. Thus, although there was exchange, it was not very active. Most of the goods in exchange were luxuries. However, many changes have been made since the mid-19th century. Transportation has become very easy through railway networks and steam boats. Also, industrial capitalism took root with the completion of the Industrial Revolution. It was an era of economic freedom. Since then, in the late 20th century, globalization has been growing. There has been an increase in manufacturing plants and large companies with local nationality across the country. With the emergence of these active and emerging developing countries, globalization has grown. Now it is hard for a nation to stand on its own. It depends on many countries, and when one country is shaken, other countries are shaken. I think true globalization is in the late 20th century, but I think the beginning of globalization is in the 19th century.

Why study history?



“A nation that forgets its past has no future”
I don't know the exact source, but I know what Sir Winston Churchill said. Korea's Shin Chae-ho also left a similar saying. A nation that forgets its past has no future. Throughout history, we return the mistakes we made. In the process, we may grow and not repeat the same mistakes in the future. We need to learn history to make a brighter future. History will be a good stepping stone to the future.

Volunteer retention, burnout and dropout in online voluntary organizations: stress, conflict and retirement of Wikipedians

I interpreted this as a commentator about a volunteer speaking here. Wikipedia is a non-profit organization that cannot benefit anyone who provides knowledge. However, many people are happy to keep their information up to Wikipedia's rules. I think these are volunteers. These Wikipedia are just one of the websites for the public. But Wikipedia is the only non-profit website in the world. It is also the most popular website in the world and hundreds of thousands of volunteers are creating Wikipedia. Why do people serve Wikipedia? Currently, the number of volunteers in Wikipedia is decreasing. Usually, a few active volunteers have contributed many times more than others. However, they are sometimes offended by other people's perception of Wikipedia, and they end up having trouble editing. It is also a problem that it is difficult to find work for new people. Wikipedia will disappear over time. Wikipedia still contributes a lot to society. But people don't appreciate Wikipedia. They don't even know that it is a non-profit organization. I think it's safe for volunteers to be able to get

Teaching with Wikipedia in a 21 st century classroom: perceptions of Wikipedia and its educational benefits

Over the past decade or more, Wikipedia has been a reference for students in developed countries. But so far, many educators are reluctant to Wikipedia. Educators do not believe the information on Wikipedia, they are biased. Of course, many negative views have changed positively, but they are still lacking. Wikipedia can show students a wider society. There are numerous papers, and students can develop critical thinking about them with motivation. This advantage should not be prevented by teachers. Especially anecdotal claims are completely groundless. Rather, there were more positive opinions when investigating the accuracy or quality of the actual Wikipedia. Wikipedia is better than the traditional encyclopedia. Wikipedia is a non-profit organization that is available to everyone, even for free. Where can we find a better encyclopedia than this? Is it right to continue to criticize Wikipedia?

JOINING THE GLOBAL VILLAGE: TEACHING GLOBALIZATION WITH WIKIPEDIA

Globalization is not something new, but something that has always been taught. Still, there are people who are trying to improve globalization, which is the professors who teach it. Educating on Wikipedia can effectively help students understand the improvement of globalization and its globalization. Until the truth, I thought Wikipedia was inaccurate. So it felt awkward at first to teach in Wikipedia. However, writing using Wikipedia can be very helpful to students. It can attract students' interest, it can also get information, and it can also provide information that benefits others. However, there is also a caveat to these activities. First, professors should teach students not to make copies. We were told at the beginning of our first class in sociology that the professor was not allowed to make copies. Also, Wikipedia has to be like an encyclopedia. Through this class, I saw many Wikipedia articles and felt that there was a unique style of Wikipedia. When we post on Wikipedia, we should follow the style manual and write. It seems to reduce the subjective feeling and help complete neutral writing. Students should look at the topic without bias. We are taught by professors about prejudice. Prejudice affects all the media we do. Prejudice on one's subject can come from writing without even knowing it. What's important here is that students should write summaries of published studies, not their own. In addition, restrictions such as deadlines should exist. By sticking to these points, students can help countless people around the world. Students are not only giving their achievements but also giving them a function of public interest.

W14. Introduction to Sociology/Demography

Demography is the study of human population dynamics. It encompasses the study of the size, structure and distribution of populations, and how populations change over time due to births, deaths, migration, and aging. Demographic analysis can relate to whole societies or to smaller groups defined by criteria such as education, religion, or ethnicity. Demographic analysis is a powerful tool that can explain a number of sociological phenomena. Because demography is interested in changes in human populations, demographers focus on specific indicators of change. I took a note of the effects of overpopulation. I could know newly that population control have averred that famine is far from being the only problem attendant to overpopulation. There are unfair of land distribution so it disrupt people from all eating food fairly. So I think "What can we do for overpopulation including the matter of food, money, education and so on?" is good discussion point.

W13. Introduction to Sociology/Family

The structure of families traditionally hinges on relations between parents and children, between spouses, between members of long term relationships (romantic, economic or otherwise) or all of the above. Consequently, there is substantial variation in family forms around the world, varying from culture to culture. According to recent census data, more adult women now live alone or are raising their children alone than are living with a spouse or raising their children with a spouse. Further, historical research suggests the nuclear family has never been the statistical or numeric norm in the United States. What many people consider a family is not the only family form and family are diverse in both form and function. I really empathized the form of family is changing even now. Also I considered seriously today's scale of family is extremely going smaller and smaller. I agreed that the rate of response of marriage is decreasing. In Korea, aging society,I think "How do you think Korea's future in terms of 'aging society'?" is good discussion point for us. 

Extra posting/Gender roles-or what is expected of men and women in home and workplace?/Bae Sae A



Gender roles-or what is expected of men and women in home and workplace?

There are types of gender stereotypes and gender roles required for men and women. First, at home, women play the role of a housewife in charge of household chores and childcare, and men are the breadwinners in charge of income. 
The social climate that forces men to "manhood" also has many limitations in their career choices. In the fashion industry and beauty industry, men still have a lot of negative views. This is even worse when it comes to the service industry. However, this is different from wages and corporate treatment. In fact, men have a strong advantage in short-term and promotions.
There are also many remaining female gender roles in Korea. Even in Korea, where double-income households are becoming the absolute majority, women are burdened with housework and childcare. This is because domestic work and childcare are considered "only for women." In other words, men have a conservative stereotype that 'they shouldn't do such vulgar things' or 'men can't do household chores well.' The dichotomy of women by patriarchal and male-centered standards instead of respecting individuality still has a huge negative impact on women's values and the way society sees them.

Extra posting/When do you think globalization started?/Bae Sae A



When do you think globalization started?

The development of transportation and the development of information and communication technologies are generally regarded as conditions for globalization.
On the other hand, there are times when globalization is differentiated. The discovery and colonization of new routes in Europe after the 15th century are considered primary globalization. In addition, the period of development of transportation means resulting from the Industrial Revolution and the resulting increase in international exchanges is considered The timing of the expansion of free trade following the launch of the WTO is also divided into the third globalization. 
According to the report, globalization, which is currently commonly talked about, means third globalization. However, this distinction is not absolute, and any other distinction is possible.
Currently, globalization in politics has emerged with the emergence of the United Nations. Globalization in the economic sector is closely related to trade liberalization and the expansion of capital movement in the financial sector. Globalization of the cultural sector refers to the spread of cultural media to other countries or to other countries. In particular, the development of the Internet is accelerating the globalization of the cultural sector. The role of civil society has grown in society. And various values of liberalism began to be reflected in each country. As globalization spread, so did democracy.

What are some of the major issues in world politics right now?

North Korea once again escalated tensions on the Korean Peninsula when it went ahead with its sixth nuclear test on September 3. 
Despite the international community's warnings as well as nuclear tests, North Korea fired five missiles, making the world angry. The whole world is in a nuclear war crisis. Amid this situation, the U.S. President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had stronger verbal battles against each other. There was a rancor of criticism against each other. In response, President Trump said in a U.N. speech that he would destroy North Korea completely, making the war between President Trump and Chairman Kim more threatening. Russia also criticized President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un after seeing a fight.
Another issue is the deployment of THAAD. China's retaliation against the THAAD deployment was unexpectedly harsh. Despite the high public sentiment against Korea after the official announcement, China's economy, culture, and art circles have become more dangerous. A famous singer was expected to perform three tours to China, but his application for a visa was delayed for no apparent reason and the concert was canceled. In addition, many entertainers who made their debut in China were rejected or filmed by Korean celebrities only deleted from the show or sent it out with mosaic. In addition, Chinese tourists rarely visit Myeong-dong, Seoul, due to the Chinese government's "No-Hanryeong."

How could a fusion culture look in 100 years?

I think fusion culture will become more widespread in various fields such as advertising, food, fashion, music, etc. 
Fusion phenomenon is when disparate elements, or distant phenomena, come together to create something third. There are many fusion phenomena throughout life. An example is the hair style of young people with black hair and white hair. The fusion phenomenon is also attracting a lot of attention in the pop music world. For example, Gugak instruments are used as materials to provide a wide range of emotions and imagination to the public. They also use computers and electronic instruments to combine traditional Korean music with Western style.
Fusion respect each country's cultural rights. As globalization progresses, as the peoples of the global community get closer, of course, cultures get mixed up. In addition to being both consumer and commercial, a fusion culture that serves as a platform for mutual respect and cultural communication will become more widespread in your future. Because the development of internet, mobile, and trade has made the methods of forming, consuming, and diffusing fusion culture more diverse.

Extra posting/Problems and Solutions of Urbanization and Industrialization/Bae Sae A



Problems and Solutions of Urbanization and Industrialization

Urbanization is a phenomenon in which the number of cities increases or the proportion of people living in cities increases. The ratio of secondary and tertiary industry workers increases. 
Industrialization is a phenomenon that changes from an agricultural society to an industrial one. Dissemination and mechanization are carried out. But urbanization/industrialization creates many problems.
First of all, there is a heat island phenomenon. Population growth due to urbanization, artificial facilities, and artificial heat increase have resulted in higher temperature in the city center than in the surrounding areas. Also, air pollution occurs due to increased use of fossil fuels. Land pollution and natural disasters are also problems. There are housing problems in cities as well as ecosystems. Land prices rise as the number of apartments becomes scarce. Crime also increases. In rural areas there is a shortage of labor and infrastructure. Their relative sense of deprivation is also one of the key issues.
So what are the solutions? First of all, it is going to secure space for green areas through a project to record rooftops. It eases the heat island phenomenon by restoring rivers, reducing traffic to cars, and placing buildings that help circulate the wind. It will utilize eco-friendly renewable energy resources and reduce emissions by installing clean-up facilities. In addition, development-restricted zones are set up to conserve green space around cities.

How has globalization changed our society?

Globalization is a process in which the international community increases interdependence among nations in economic, political, social and cultural fields and integrates into a global village.
First of all, it is the globalization of economic aspects. Global movement of goods, services, capital and labor is active. The world economy creates equal economic order and norms. The wider range of consumer choices for goods and services benefits consumers. The expansion of the product market and the promotion of corporate innovation has spurred multinational operations.
However, there are also negative effects. The gap between the rich and the poor between developed and developing countries is widening. The polarization between knowledge workers and simple workers is also intensified. The influx of multinational companies and large capital hinders the autonomy of government policies.
There is also a spatial globalization. The increase in international exchanges reduces spatial constraints. There are also increased opportunities for overseas employment due to the brisk movement of human resources. The scope of individual activities has expanded globally beyond the domestic market. However, when multi-cultural villages are formed due to the increase in international population migration, conflicts of values arise between them.
There is also a cultural globalization. The influx of new cultures may enrich existing cultures and allow their own special cultures to enter the world. Also, cultural diversity is deepening and multicultural society is coming. However, there are also problems with conflicts between individuals and groups due to hostility to other cultures.

Extra posting/If we were to vote through the Internet, would there be any problems?/Bae Sae A



If we were to vote through the Internet, would there be any problems?

First, it is a technical problem. There is a high possibility of hacking or rigging the voting results. It is also possible to steal and vote proxy. This could undermine the principles of direct and secret elections. Prevention of hacking and server stability should be supplemented. The second is an operational problem. There is a controversy over how to respond automatically. There is also a problem with the information gap. The elderly or underprivileged who lack Internet access may be excluded. Only the votes of certain people will be reflected in the results. There are also problems of freedom and fairness. At the polling stations, monitoring is done. But if you vote on the Internet, there is no surveillance. Private spaces without supervision could create situations of intimidation and coercion. Then, free voting is impossible. Also, if there is a purchase, there is no fairness. We need to ensure fairness and freedom through legal protection and monitoring of private spaces.
But nonetheless, Internet voting has many advantages. It seeks to strengthen representative democracy by increasing civic engagement, especially by young people. It will be beneficial for us to improve and supplement the problems of Internet voting.

W12. Introduction to Sociology/Collective Behavior

The term Collective behavior refers to social processes and events which do not reflect existing social structure. There are different types of collective behaviors. First, collective behavior involves limited and short-lived social interaction while groups tend to remain together longer. Second, collective behavior has no clear social boundaries and anyone can be a member of the collective while group membership is usually more discriminating. Third, collective behavior generates weak and unconventional norms while groups tend to have stronger and more conventional norms. 
I learned there are a variety of types of crowds. Before, I didn't understand collective behavior theory. But I could understand collective behaviors deeply by reading this script. And I think discussion point is "Have you ever been included in crowds and had memorable experiences?"

W11. International Relations/The Causes of War

Sociology has long been very concerned with the origins of war, and many thousands of theories have been advanced, many of them contradictory. psychologists have argued that while human temperament allows wars to occur, they only do so when mentally unbalanced men are in control of a nation I havelearned many war histories in the whole world at classes. I couldn't understand why people did war because it destroys all of things. I could learn and understand many area's viewpoints for war. I think discussion point is "Do people have fighting nature?"













W10. Introduction to Sociology/Gender

Sociologists make a distinction between gender and sex. "Gender" refers to a person's perceived or projected social location within culturally established designations between masculine and feminine behaviors. Sex refers to a person's assignment, usually by medical, religious, familial, or governmental authorities, into categories socially constructed on the basis of perceived genetic and biological factors. Gender(or sex) is fluid and can change.
I empathized our old and tacit custom of girl/boy. Also, it was miserable to know that there are continuous discrimination between men and women in societies.

I think discussion point in this is "Can we beg the question people real gender?" Because there are many gender and distinct individuality in these days.

W9. Introduction to Sociology/Stratification

Stratification refers to the hierarchical arrangement of people in a society. These resources might be economic or political, such as health care, education, jobs, property and land ownership, housing, and ability to influence government policy. Building on the ideas of Max Weber, who saw three main dimensions of stratification (class, status, and party), contemporary sociologists often define stratification in terms of socioeconomic status.
I read something fact about the USA interestingly. First was that just 400 Americans have the same wealth as half of all Americans combined. Second was that just 25 Americans have a combined income almost as great as the combined income of 2 billion of the world’s poor.
Number in Poverty and Poverty Rate 1959 to 2011. United States..PNG 
In this unit, "Are there any contradiction in Korea's economic status?" is good discussion point.

W7. Introduction to Sociology/Deviance

Deviance is any behavior that violates cultural norms. Deviance is often divided into two types of deviant activities. The first, crime is the violation of formally enacted laws and is referred to as formal devianceThe second type of deviant behavior refers to violations of informal social norms, norms that have not been codified into law, and is referred to as informal deviance.
I was interested about the chart that Robert K. Merton made. 
I newly knew that rebellion is one of the social norms. 
Mertons social strain theory.svg
I think 'Are there any absurdity about judging 'deviance?' ' is discussion point in this script.

Extra posting/Is modern democracy really "the will of the people"?/Bae Sae A

Is modern democracy really "the will of the people"?

I think that modern democracy was achieved by the will of the people.
Because of Japan's colonial rule, Koreans were unable to exercise their freedom and rights as sovereigns for 35 years. Democracy in the Republic of Korea started in an imperfect state, with the continuing struggle for violence and the violation of basic rights and freedom of the people in the process. After the March 1 Independence Movement, the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea chose the Democratic Republic as the basis. On May 10, 1948, for the first time in the history of the Korean Peninsula, a general election was held where the people exercised their sovereignty. But then the authoritarian regime reappeared. The 4.19 revolution, which was intended to topple authority, has a big meaning for the nation. After the revolution, no power in our country can deny free democracy. The political meaning of the April 19 revolution was a great foundation for establishing a sense of free democracy and the sovereignty of the people.
I think democracy in this country would not have been possible without the people's desire, expression, struggle, and vote.

Extra posting/How was the medieval korean society structured?/Bae Sae A



How was the medieval korean society structured?

The Middle Ages are part of the history of the Korean era, dating back to 1876, when Joseon opened its port. Although scholars disagree, it is time for the Goryeo Dynasty to be held before and after.
The Middle Ages in Europe are characterized by maintaining a feudal society. Compared to the West, there were no similar institutions in Korean history such as feudalism, but established a medieval society based on the same factors in socioeconomic terms. Also, various factors, from the chaos of Silla society to the foundation of Goryeo, have characteristics as a social turning point. However, it has a strong regional branch that reminds us of the feudal society of the West.
An important feature of Korea's medieval history is the development of the local autonomy system. The basis on which self-reliance is allowed to follow the public's opinion is the speciality of the Korean style feudalism. The monarchy of Joseon was also a stronger dictatorship than the Goryeo Dynasty, but it provided institutional guarantees for the priests to participate in the process. The restriction of the monarchy is different from that of the West.

What may cause reduction in globalization? 
(trade and contacts between different countries)


World trade declined significantly in the first half of 2015. 
It was the biggest decline since the financial crisis. 
The cause is the global economic downturn. Especially because of China's slowing economy and a European economic recovery. Another structural reason is the weakening trend of globalization. This is because China has changed its economic structure from the way it actively exported its products to the way it invigorate the domestic market. Manufacturers are also reducing the supply chain scattered around the world. Even a "reshoring" phenomenon is taking place where production bases overseas are relocated back to domestic. Because of these causes, trade and globalization can be reduced.

Why does Korea focus more on economic growth than

 on environmental protection?


I think Korea and Poland focus on economic growth rather than environmental protection because both countries are in the process of moving from developing to developing countries. Although the two countries are often judged to be advanced countries, there is a lot of controversy over the title of advanced countries despite their large economies. Environmental protection has been neglected as economic growth has been put at the top of the list to boost national power.

What does leisure mean in society?


Leisure is a hobby activity and in other words, means relaxation of life. It is because we put priority on economic activities to lead our lives, and then we enjoy our leisure time by taking advantage of our spare time. I think it's a way to make the time after work more valuable through sports and other cultural activities. Therefore, I think how much leisure time can be enjoyed can be measured by individual economic ability.

I think it is a product of male chauvinism in the past. There is still a constant debate on human rights in men and women today. This is a debate to break down the conventional sense of entitlement and examples of men. In the past, there was no human rights in women, so the right to vote was unimaginable. For too long men have been thought to be superior and that still remains the case.

Why is the suicide rate high in Korea?

I think the high suicide rate in Korea should be seen as a social problem. South Korea's social atmosphere is seeking too much competition, and we must always beat our friends and colleagues. In addition, the rivalry divides WINNER and Looser. People also classify it as 'success' and 'failure.' And the name of failure begins to suppress one's life. I think fear of failure and frustration have created a high suicide rate in Korean society

Exta posting/ Why does inequality cause confusion?/ minji jeong 정민지

Why does inequality cause confusion?



The reason inequality causes confusion is that people want to be treated equally. The history of mankind has long resisted for equality and freedom. The desire for equality was expressed with sorrow and anger for inequality, which I think is enough to create social chaos. There are various welfare systems in society to reduce these inequalities. It strives to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor in various fields such as economic and cultural fields. This is supposed to be an effort to reduce the possibility of social confusion caused by inequality.

I think that in our society the person who can tell his story has power. These days, many people seem to be reluctant to tell their own stories because they are looking at the social atmosphere or looking around. However, I think it is really important to be able to assert your rights and demand proper treatment by telling your story. In our society, it seems to be the beginning and essence of power that a nation can say it exists. I think they will change our society.

I think the environment is more important. The effects of the Mellon gene cannot be ignored. It shows a scary presence, whether in health or intelligence. But I think we should pay attention to the impact of the social environment. Because it's an animal with a human will, and I want to tell you how powerful the will power is. making muger-free making the impossible possible All of these contain human will and effort. Therefore, I think it has the power to overcome the genetic limitations. In addition, humans are animals that learn.

Therefore, I think the environment is more important than the power of the gene.

In addition, I think education plays a big role in social maintenance. This is because the law, institutions and customs of society are passed on to future generations through education. Families make the most basic socialization, and schools teach standards about the right and wrong of society.

We study history because history repeats itself. Of course the same will not happen because the times change and develop. However, the commonality should focus on the fact that similarities are inherent in various forms of human activity. I think similar situations and characteristics can reappear even if one event is not repeated.


I think the reason we study history is because we live now and we will live in the future. Throughout history, we can learn the answers that can solve current and future events. And the reason we only discuss modern theories is that we are talking about modern theories, and we are trying to make better choices by looking back on history.

Extra posting / Why fewer women enroll in college/university in Korea than men? / Kim hyojun(김효준)

Q:  Why fewer women enroll in college/university in Korea than men?



A:  I cannot agree that the proportion of women entering university is lower than men.
The interesting thing about Korean universities is that there are female universities. Only 100 percent of female students are admitted to the university.
Nevertheless, I think it is wrong to say that the proportion of women is lower than that of men.
Usually, boys and girls in engineering choose the humanities.
(There are exceptions.)
The number of students in the engineering field is increasing due to the fact that the fourth industrial revolution is under way and science and technology is at the center of the world.
But it is a contradiction that there is no room for girls to enter for this.
To claim that they failed to enter the school because of gender discrimination is to make a profit by putting themselves under the table.
There are many female students in the humanities category.
The ratio of male and female students is 3 to 7 in the information society department.
So, is it because boys lack effort?
No one thinks so.

Their contradictory actions to profit from the results they did not make are beyond comprehension by anyone with normal thinking. 
That's why I can't agree that women have lower college entrance rates than men.

The data were from 2010. 
2010 is a time when enough questions about gender discrimination have been raised and are being fixed.
However, it is thought that there are too many empty contexts for 20-year-old students to be sexually discriminated upon in college.

The victims I can understand are now our grandmother's age. 
They were directly affected by the patriarchal system and would not have made their dreams come true. 
If they reward their dreams for what they have not achieved, they should acknowledge and help. 
However, I think the government should not help but block evil groups who are now loathe men and move for their own interests, enjoying all they can afford.
