Where else can we see inequality of power and conflict in our society?

 In our society, power inequality and conflict can be seen in male and female employment. According to the Ministry of Education and Korea Education Development Institute, the employment rate of male college graduates in 2018 was 69.6%, 3.6%p higher than that of female college graduates, 66.0%. In the previous year, the difference in employment rates between men and women increased 0.6 percentage points from 3.0%. The difference in the employment rate is on an increasing trend, with 2.6% in 2016, 3.0% in 2017, and 3.6% in 2018. In this way, in Korean society, there is inequality between male and female employment, and the expression of conflict about this has recently appeared through movies and novels. The novel “Kim Ji-young, born in 82,” expresses a conflict over gender discrimination, and has become a movie with a lot of popularity in Korea.

 Inequality in power can also be seen through the gender wage gap. According to the Korea Women's Policy Institute, the average monthly wage gap between men and women for all wage workers in 014 was analyzed to reach 40.1%. Men received 2.7 million won per month, and women received 16,19,000 won. The wage gap between men and women has gradually narrowed since 2004 and has dropped to the 40% range, but the gap is still large. Looking at the hourly wage difference between men and women, in 2014, women received 1381 won and the gap with men who received 16,077 won was 35.4%, the same as in 2004 (35.4%) 10 years ago. Likewise, inequality between men and women can be confirmed through wages.

 Finally, in the ratio of male and female executives in the company, inequality in power can be identified. According to the employment site Incrut, the highest percentage of female executives was at AmorePacific (21%), while other companies accounted for less than 20%. Five of the top 30 companies with no female executives are SK Hynix, Samsung Biologics, Shinhan Financial Group, Hyundai Mobis, and Kia Motors. This indicator shows that women have an unequal distribution of power within the enterprise.

is such fight visible in your country?

Summary) Currently, Korea is confused. The sudden increase in taxes and various regulations greatly affected housing and salaries. It's a real mess right now. With the inauguration of the new administration, our country has become very difficult. They're taking all the money away from the people who are misleading the people. This is very wrong. Rich people are stealing money even though they didn't save it by doing bad things. Poor people hiding stirred up the government's fault. As a result, the fight between the poor and the rich continues. It is very wrong to do this. Interesting) Many countries are fighting with taxes. Is this really right? The country should be united, but each of them is fighting for each other's right. This is very wrong, and we'll have to get it right soon. Question) What are we going to do?

  1、Power distance Power distance is the degree of power and dictatorship of leadership in an organization, and the extent to which a society can accept the inequality of power distribution in an organization. China's index is 80, and people generally agree that power inequality in organizations, the relationship between superiors and subordinates tends to be polarized, and subordinates can not resist the authority of their superiors, and subordinates are willing to be instructed and led. Actions beyond power are not advocated. This may be because of China's socialist system, the Communist Party of China in China is a one-party ruling, everyone has become accustomed to this system. Australia's index is 36. In various organizations in Australia, hierarchies are established for convenience needs and superiors are approachable. Managers rely on the expertise and skills of employees and information and advice are often exchanged between superiors and subordinates. Communicati...
