Reading Journal9-It's the Women, stupid(page 340)

Summary: After 9/11, "The Clash of Civilizations" by professor Samuel Huntington is popular. His prediction in 1996 about war will be happen among the Western and the Eastern after the end of the cold war between Soviet Union and America. However, the author claims that Huntington has the wrong perception about the Muslims east and the West. Huntington claims that it is about the clash among the political values and democracy. According to study, Muslim east and West agree with democracy and claims that democracy would be "very good" for their country. In the gender equality, the Muslim West and the East have their different thoughts. Muslim is more traditional and concervatives but the East are the most liberal. Therefore, democratic ideals is exist among the Muslim East and the West, not for the gender equality.

Opinion: In my opinion, it is true that Muslim country will think that democracy would be the best for their country, but the people are lack of democracy. However, if you look at the gender equality, Muslim east will be traditional but the east is very liberal. Look at the United States, there are so many female politician but the Muslim East thinsks that Male will handle a better job as a politician. Therefore, I think the clash of civilization between the Muslim East and the West has no relevance to the prediction of Samuel Hungtington. The difference is gender, Stupid. This is about the confusing title of this article.
