As China realised the need for modernisation‚ the one child policy was implemented in June 1979 to achieve three main goals: 1.

The debate on whether Alexander II was a Tsar Liberator is one which divides the opinion of many historians who examine Russian history. Alexander II introduced many reforms during his reign which revolutionised the political‚ social and economic landscape of Russia and were considered by many as ‘liberating’.

But having said that‚ it would be a bit unrealistic of me to say that I live in a perfectly equal society‚ regardless of the fact that our country is headed by a man‚ who is headed by a woman. Except for the positive effects of modernisation which bought about some kind of progressiveness among our society‚ our country still faces a major problem in treating women‚ let alone “empowering” them.
