Throughout history, male leaders often made society more violent and conflicting. If women governed the world, the world would be more peaceful. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The idea that the world would be more peaceful if governed by women stems from traditional beliefs about gender and leadership. Women are often seen as more nurturing, empathetic, and collaborative, which could theoretically lead to less aggressive policies and a stronger focus on diplomacy over conflict. Historical examples, like New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern and Germany’s Angela Merkel, show how female leaders can emphasize social welfare, healthcare, and diplomacy. These qualities can indeed help mitigate the conditions that lead to conflict, such as inequality and poverty.

These days, a lot of younger people need to compete with people who are older for the same career.
