  1. 2 In Japan women got the right to vote in 1945.
    Compared with the fact that men got in 1925, I think women were suffering from discrimination for a long time.

    I think women are more generous than men,
    because women had more hard time to improve their social position and they know the feeling of the people in lower class better than men.

    I was impressed with the video.
    The women changed the wolrd history a lot.

    In my country,women got the right to vote since the founding of China PR. Before then , the country is emperor‘s private property and no one had the right to vote.

    My high school has a system that one class helps one child who cannot afford to go school. Therefore, I participated in the system and I donate money every month.

    I think it would have been difficult to spread the Women's Donor Activist Movement because the status of man was higher than that of woman. However women kept making effort patiently. So I think those who fought to get equal rights are very courageous.

  11. I chose the question 4.

    I think the reason why women are more generous than men is that they are willing to help each other than men, so they donate money to charities to help people in need.

    It is often said that women emphasize cooperation, while men do independence.
