Cass ~Celebrating International Women's day~

Each year around the world, International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8. Thousands of events occur not just on this day but throughout March to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. ( http://www.internationalwomensday.com/ ). 

I attended the Women in Business Leadership seminar ( http://www.cass.city.ac.uk/pages/mba-leadership-series ) held by Cass business school just for future reference.  There were three panelists who are active and successful on their career.  Their talking was interesting and inspired me, in particular, because their way of thinking such as risk taking, control minds, work life balance were practical.  They all look have strong confidence rather than males...I am not sure whether it is necessary or not though..

To be honest, when I lived in Japan, I could not agree with someone who argue the advances in the status of women, because I felt such women looks like men, and a few people would have an intention about discrimination and gender salary gap since most women eager not to work at the same position of men which has many responsibilities.  In addition, the meaning of advance is likely to lose females consideration and humility.  Certainly, I understand and appreciate the women's activists have created the modern society which we can join almost everything and everywhere equally in Japan, whereas I think unnecessary to access all, such as traditional place, sumo ring where is prohibited for women to step.  However,  I recognised there are obvious discrimination in some countries and by religious reasons.  Therefore, we should exam well regarding discrimination not only gender but also ages, background, and scholarship and should not forget responsibilities to contribute the society, and provide surface solution.  The most important things are that everyone respect and appreciate each other over gender, ages, occupation, and literacy.  That's all.

Thank you for your reading to the end.
