If you had the power to change three things in your community or in the world, what would you change and why? (Middle East Technical University in Tur

If I had the power to change three things in the world it will be the unfair society, people’s stereotype and the studying system. I am part of each one of these system, however I really don’t get affected by them much, but I still have few suggestions for it. First the unfair society, thing about the cast system in India and compare it to other countries like US where there is no cast system. In India widows used to and for some people still have to follow two paths, first jump into the fire while their husband is getting burnt in to ashes or become an outcaste and live a miserable life with other widows. However in other society where they have free cast system they don’t have problem divorcing or remarrying after husband’s death. Cast system is just unfair for so many people in India, last month in a village one married couple was forced to split up because they were from different cast, but the couples ran away. The cast system just makes people’s life harder and miserable; therefore there shouldn’t be any cast system in the world. Secondly people’s stereotypes should also be changed, as an example gender stereotypes takes a big part in this. For the past thousands of years, women were treated differently from men. Women were always the low class people and in some countries they did not even have right to do anything other than being a household. In present days it has changed a lot, people started to treat women with more respect, however, because of the stereotypes women still have hard time. The older generation people have strong argument with the gender stereotype, they always say men are before women and women cannot do anything without men. But if you think about it, the stereotype not only applies to women, but also to men. Majority of the people think that men cannot cook or clean, however, majority of the chiefs in five star, seven star hotels are men. Because the world has moved on and majority of the stereotypes are not true anymore, it should be removed from people’s mind and from world. Lastly the one which affect me the most is the studying system. In Korea, I don’t know the reason, all the parents expect their children to study really hard and get the highest grade possible. Well I am sure all the parents around the world wants that, however, Koreans have different system. When they start to attend elementary school, they were told, sometime forced to attend the academies which they don’t even like. For example, my youngest brother only in kindergarten, but he already attends 3 academies, English, math and language. I do not think this is the correct way of rising up the children, they should have freedom while they grow up, at least until they reach middle school. This might be the reason why South Korea has one of the highest student suicide rates. Because the little kids deserve freedom and also to decrease the suicide rate, we should change the studying system in Korea.
