Obstacles-Racism and Sexism

In my mind, I never thought that women had gone through that much pain to have their voices heard by others.  I always assumed women are very intelligent and smart.  They are always capable of doing big business and hold important conference and meetings.  However, being in this class made me figured there are a lot of problems which still remains in the society, racist and sexist are the most important thing that is hindering us.  I believe once people get over these two major problems, no discrimination what so ever, the society would eventually be more prosper.

In the beginning of the course, we talked about women journalism and how they eventually became successful women due to the World War II.  However, after counting how many women were on the cover on the newspaper in today’s class, I was very worried.  After almost a decade women still haven’t gain their position in the society.  Why is that?  I acknowledge that women have a really emotion side, however I think they are capable of doing what men does.  Such as in Hong Kong, most of the famous lawyers are usually men.  It is because they believe women judge would put their emotions towards the case and judge it because of how they feel more than what the person should deserve.   I really hope the issue of racism and sexism does not happen and we should not live by our history.
