The twentieth century was a very depressing century. This century consisted of World War I and World War II. As well as the Holocaust, Great Depression and Hiroshima. It's extremely scary to think about what could happen if we were to go into another World War. With the discovery of nuclear weapons it's terrifying that if one person or country pushes the wrong button the world as we know it could disappear. Although the twentieth century had a lot of negative, there were definitely some positive outcomes for women especially. In the Soviet Union there was a women's movement that put new laws in place. These laws included making marriage a "civil procedure". Divorce was legalized as well as abortion. Women were not forced to take their husband's last name and working women were entitled to maternity leave. We have come a long way as far as equality but I do think that we still have an even longer way to go. I hope one day we realize that we are all the same. We are all human and all trying to live our lives to the fullest while working towards success. I hope that one day war, injustice, inequality and discrimination become a thing of the past. All we can do is hope for the best but with everything that is currently happening in the world it is at times difficult to hold onto this idea of things getting better. There's no denying that the world we live in right now is a scary place and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried for our future.
