Road to Equality

For my Each One, Teach One I decided to take a twist on the section on gender equality, and compare it to equal rights movements. My over arching question with this project is
AS DEVELOPED NATIONS MOVE TOWARDS GAY EQUALITY, HOW WILL UNDERDEVELOPED NATIONS REACT?
Underdeveloped countries that have been able to stabilize and globalize by taking initiative for their own economy all while assimilating to what developed nations want. Take for example the Philippines – the product of their success can be attributed to the creation of OFWs and complying to the employment needs of other nations. I might correlate their assimilation to the openness and small successes of equal right movement.
Then, let’s take Russia who would rather not get with the globalization movement. They currently have a president that has positioned himself and taken initiative to ensure any pro-gay movements are banned.
As Friedman suspected, the world is flattening. All mediums of media have been used to create awareness of the injustice that is anti-gay. I wanted to use my final each one teach one, as a form of an idea sparker. Under-developed nations have tweaked their equal rights position on women to comply with developed nation ideals. In the years to come, will this be the same reaction for gay equality?
