Education and Value

School education effects student's value. After Meiji government founded, some new systems like the establishment of prefectures in place of feudal domains carried out. Also Meiji goverment provided the law that showed that women should go to elementary school what we called 'Kokumin school' so going to elementary school became compulsory education for women.
However, this education was for growing 'good wife'. The education between men and women was really different. Women had much sewing and cooking classes than men. This policy of good wife education carried on the educational deliberation in Taisho and Showa period and the policy didn't chande until World War Ⅱ had finished. After WWⅡ, democratization in Japan was in effect and the government enacted the law which provided the equality between men and women. However even if enacting the law, the value of people wasn't changed and discrimination for women still existed.
In my opinion, discrimination for women was really heavy and women's position was low before the democratization. However, it suddenly changed after the WWⅡ. Even if the equality was leagally realized, the value of those people wasn't changed but education was changed. Student who firstly took this equal education couldn't accept the equality but children who took the equal edutcation and saw women's activity in media and somewhere had less discrimination. In these process, I guess Grass-eating boys have almost no discrimination for women.
