이번 호에서 다룰 문장은 Newsweek International의 온라인 기사에서 발췌한 것이다.
우리나라 여성의 지위에 관한 글이다.
여성의 사회적 지위가 오늘날에 이르기까지의 원인을 구체적으로 다루고 있는 글로서,'원인과 결과형(Cause and effect)'의 전개 방식으로 분류할 수 있다.
전형적인 원인과 결과형(Cause and effect)의 글에서는 둘 이상의 사건이 원인 또는 결과의 관계를 갖는다.
그런데 원인과 결과가 동시에 일어나는 것은 불가능하므로 어느 정도의 시간적인 순서 유형을 갖는 것이 일반적인 특징이다.
전문이 길어 핵심 내용만 수록했으니 나머지 부분은 원전을 찾아 읽어보기 바란다.
주어진 글에 대한 지시문을 읽고, 다음 지시사항에 따라 이번 호의 글을 분석해 보라.
1.각 단락의 주제문을 찾고, 원인과 결과에 해당하는 것을 찾아보자.
2.글 전체의 전개 방식을 생각해 보자.

After en during decades of discrimination, South korean women are surging into positions of power and influence.
By B. J. Lee_Newsweek International
[1] There are several reasons for the dramatic rise in female fortunes, but one of the most important is the explosion of grassroots civic activism that's swept South Korea over the past two decades. Women played an important role in the democracy movement that toppled the country's dictators in the 1980s, and since then they've done their best to keep feminism in the forefront of the broader push for change. As the Uri Party's leader, President Roh Moo Hyun has made gender equality a powerful part of his crusade against Korea's old elite.
[2] Another catalyst is education. In the 1970s only 25 percent of South Korean women entered college. Now the number has risen to 72 percent, the highest level in the world. The country's women-only universities are especially influential. Ewha Women's University, with 150,000 alumnae, is the world's largest-followed closely by Sookmyung Women's U
niversity, the second largest. Both are more than a century old. Supporters argue that the women-only atmosphere is conducive to confidence-building as well as good academics. "In Korean coed universities, female students are treated differently from male students," says Ewha president Shin In Ryung. "But all-women universities teach females how to
compete fairly and squarely with others, something they need in the real world." More than half of the honor and top-grade students at universities are women, although they account for less than half the total number of students.
