Hilary's Influence on the East

While the United States is on the verge of experiencing one of the most important changes of its society, the East stands to benefit as well. Our political system has been controlled by white males ever since its existence, and this contributed to the white male privilege that persists in our society. As the election for a new president comes closer, it looks promising that we will finally have a non-white male in charge of the most influential country that the world has witnessed. The United States helped write the constitution for Japan after World War II, and helped women gain rights that were nonexistent in the Japanese society for too long. Obviously, there is a lot of work left in Japan, along with the United States. However, Hilary Clinton becoming president will bring gender equality one step closer not only here, but in Japan as well. It will also force all other nations to have a new and profound respect for women that have been lacking.
