North Country.

North Country is a real story about how a woman who is a single parent standing out to strive for feminism, going against harassment.

Even in 21 century which is the pioneer to propose the equallity between men and women, the unequal situation still exists. In my point of view, I feel that we should take an active attitude to go against sexual harassment which brings miserable event to those women, especially under a lower stage. When the single mother in the movie decides not to be handled by men and she takes an action of harassment, expecting a life without such unequalities. However, at first her workmates who also confront with the same situation dare not to stand out and support her because they are afraid if they lose the game and may face with worse situation on the job ; also, her father also works at the mine ground takes shame of her. But finally they all stand out because there is a person taking out the first step to stand by her.

When a person, no matter male or female, is under such harassment on job or anything else, I think their family and friends take an important responsibility. Human beings are cooperative, they can't live well without those who can give them the biggest support and those people should stand by them even there is only "I" standing out and encourage to face with the problem in stead of avoidance. Now we can think over why there is still so many likable events happening now even if everyone in every country asks for feminism and holds parade for that. Have you ever thought over it ? Maybe one of the factors is that most people only pursue a smoothly life, no argues, no fights, what they care is just "Could I work here for a long time?" since one person has such thought, another person could be affected by him/her and it keeps on and on, finally, they lose something deep in mind, being strong. The avoidant behavior arouses some people to dare to do what they like more frequently just because no one stops it.

From now on, we should try to make the role who is strong and brave to protect those people under harassment in stead of being the one who just oppresses the young and weak peoples and we need to prevent the same history from happening again and again, rember that human beings are cooperative.
