is because of the fact that the majority of Indonesians religion is Islam. In Islam, men have to be the backbone because it is one of their religious duties in a family.Australia and the United Kingdom have their own traditions however in the case for gender equality it is the social norms that are often unquestioned that lead to perpetuated ideals of what a man does and what a female does. The media in these societies plays an extensive role in reecting society’s values and traditions. In a lot of advertising it is the female who is shown using the cleaning products for example. Tradition in Japan is based off of Confucianism and is very important. There are some places females aren’t allowed to go, for example inside the sumo ring. Confucianism says than men have more power than women and than women support the men. This is how it has been throughout history and it has only changed a little bit. Stereotypes are being spread by the language with the gendered nouns. For example, a secretary is used in the feminine form while an engineer or a writer would be at the masculine form. When talking about a group of people, we use the masculine as soon as a boy appears even though he is surrounded by hundreds of girls. In Taiwan we have many Traditional stereotypes. Such as woman cannot work. woman must follow what man says. But nowadays young people from Taiwan is trying to break old stereotypes. But progress is still slow.As Confucianism was introduced in 17c, it has influenced the perception of gender equality, even the modern days of Korea. It has been natural for a man to work, and that women were obliged to take care of their children at home. Additionally, 30 percent of Korean men said they were against equitable sharing of housework. In the end, Confucianism is an obstacle to achieving the improvement of women's human rights.Some solutions to the problems presented are the promotion of critical thinking regarding religion, including reinterpretation of them to apply to modern day situations and the promotion of free speech. EDUCATIONEducation is integral to the continuation and improvement of society. It plays a very large role in instilling values and beliefs in youth which they will carry with them through their lives. As well as this education provides us with insight into the opportunities available to students in different countries. Female participation in society is closely linked to the level of education they have had access to whether it be high school or university. Around the world there are very different realities for females in terms of their options for schooling and these all affect how and what they learn. In Australia females account for 58% of domestic students enrolled in universities in Australia. However there are gaps in the genders studying certain degrees such as science and maths where female participation in them as low as 4%. We have a number of scholarships in place to encourage females to study those courses and at one university the required entry mark has been lowered for females for engineering and construction. Japanese high school teachers are 80% male and 20％ female, similar to korea. In the gender equality education conducted by the women's committee, most of the respondents said they did not feel the need of education about gender equality. In Japan, girls have to wear skirts to go to school, and boys need to be tough. In addition, only a few girls continue their studies after highschool wish later impacts their roles in society and more specically in the job sector. French schools are full of female teachers, the few male teachers are for traditionally male subjects such as mathematics or sport; this is similar in Australia and the UK. As women are seen to be caring for the children but once we go to secondary school and at higher level education, there are more male teachers. EXCELSIOR vol.2127
