Blogging Assignment 1

   My topic for the essay 1 will be "the change in gender roles and values in Japan". The reason I chose this topic is because I am interested in Japanese gender matters. In Japan, there are many Japanese women working in society. In addition, there are some men taking places of their wives and doing houseworks and nursing. However, this was not possible if it were hundreds of years ago. In my essay, I will write about how gender roles in Japan have changed. Moreover, I want to write about how Japanese people changed their values and what made them change. My thesis statement will be "There have been various changes in Japanese values; as they changed, gender roles also have changed in Japan".
