South Korea is more progressive in women holding the highest office than the United States.
Congratulations to Park Guen-Hye on her victory.
yes for the higest office, but SK is way behind most of the developed world in treatment of women. This woman won but she comes from powerful people, has never been married, has never had children. Her life experience is so different than most women in SK. She is also a conservate and that party behind and many women behind her hoping she will be social liberal and help change things for women. We will see.
Different culture and far different Democratic principles S. Korea is an economic power and is one of fastest and with one of most stable economies in all of Asia going to begin flexing those powers in next few years.
President there not worshipped personality as is case here she will perform well or else.
VEery interesting pick by their economic leadership.
South Korea is more progressive in not being afraid of a woman holding the highest office.
Yes I think congratulations are in order.
Though in some Asian countries its somewhat a conundrum. Pakistan has a female foreign minister, their ambassador to US is a woman. speaker of their N.Assembly is a woman & so was their Defense Secy till recently. Benazir was twice elected as PM. And yet their female population especially in the rural areas have a long fight ahead of them.
Good morning all.
Yes I think congratulations are in order.
