Essays on Boys And Girls

- Introduction & Thesis Statement There are different theories that have been created regarding the purpose of an education. Education is not only meant to impart knowledge on learners, but is also meant to shape the moral code of values of the individuals. In this way, education systems produce well-rounded individuals who are both knowledgeable and of great service to their societies. In an effort to create the most favorable educational environment, there have been arguments both for and against coeducation of schools. Proponents of coeducation are of the view that such an education enhances responsibility among students, holding ...

Despite the fact that in 1996, Supreme Court Justice Scalia called single-sex education in public schools “functionally dead,” Single-sex education has become an increasingly popular model in schools since the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 was passed. This federal legislation promoted innovative programs for states to implement that included single-sex classrooms and schools (U.S. Department of Education, 2006). Within any educational setting there were many factors that impacted student achievement that related to boys’ and girls’ physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs. A single-sex environment provided boys and girls with a setting that promoted specific gender related ...

Introduction

Parents are dissatisfied with the current system of school education because parents argue that girls suffer from the aggressive behavior of children of the opposite sex. Therefore, from the end of the last century, some schools were experiencing the diversion to separate education classes for boys and girls. In this case, they held lessons separately, but extra-curricular activities and the holidays together; however, there is no complete separation, but separation only during lessons. Scale introduction of single sex classroom is striking in many countries around the world, and there are "experimental" classes. The experiments conducted under the supervision of ...

Today’s school systems are in peril – more and more boys are dropping out of school, and academic performance is diminished across the board. The attempt to homogenize education and make one single education system work for both boys and girls is folly; all it does is leaves both sexes in poor shape for the challenges and demands of the outside world after their education career is over.

I have worked as an educator for the past 18 years, working with thousands of boys and girls of all ages. Through my experience, they are being treated too similarly in ...

In this article, Barrie Thorn uses her daily observations to support her arguments, the author begins by emphasizing the patterns of avoidance between the girls and boy child, she affirms that the observed separation is effected and influenced by the dichotomous and deep gender difference among these children. Arguably, boys and girls have different ways of expressing aggression and conflicts, they both have varying goals and posses’ explicitly different values, generally boys, and girls live in two different worlds. Notably, due to complications, there is a great need to define what Deborah Tanren implies by stating that boys and ...

In much of modern publishing history, particularly as it pertains to children's literature, there has been a significant movement toward marketing childrens' books for particular, gendered audiences. There are "boys' books" and "girls' books", each with their own emphases and particular genres. Boys' books tend to be adventures complete with violence, while girls' books are more fully centered on romance. However, despite these distinctions, I do not feel quantifying these books as being appropriate for a particular gender over another is wise or appropriate; children's literature on the whole has a great capacity for being palatable and enjoyable for both sexes, as ...

Organization: Teen Athletic League

Introduction Arguably, ethics is the heart of any organization in the world today. Regardless of whether the organization is a profit making or non-profit making, ethics forms the base of success, and achievement of goals. Ethical organizations do not just happen, but are built and developed. In building an ethical organization, it is advisable to begin by adhering to organizational mission, vision, as well as creating an ethical organizational culture. In a non-profit making organization, financial gain is not an issue, but rather focusing on ethics among its employees and members is fundamental. In building an ethical organization, all stakeholders ...

Research paper

We have seen a lot of discussion about single-sex schools and their importance in a respect of overall quality of education. And each party of this dispute has a great number of people who support it. And it is really hard to be totally sure which one is a better option: a single-sex or co-educational school because both alternatives have some pros and cons. Some academics say that “there is "no well-designed research" proving that single-sex schools improve academic performance, they have urged the Department of Education to "heed the evidence" and prohibit "sex-segregated classrooms" in public schools. Single-sex education increases gender stereotyping and ...

Thesis: The early conditioning boys and girls receive results in vastly different treatment and life choices later on. Argument: ...

Single sex education pertains to the method of teaching whereby girls and boys are segregated from each other and taught differently and separately. This is in the belief that this educational reform will actually help students perform better academically than they actually do in school. The other form and more traditional method of schooling is co-educational where students are placed in one room and learn together regardless of gender. Single sex education does not necessarily improve a student’s scholastic performance, but there is substantiation that segregating girls and boys lead to gender stereotypes and sexism. Advocates of single ...

The issue of single-sex education vs. co-education has many different aspects involved and followers of either one or the second choice. Personally I am for single-sex education, as I had an opportunity to study is school for girls, and I have to say that I still feel the positive effect it had for me. In particular, I am sure that it maximized my learning experience and helped to form strong self-confidence. To support my viewpoint, I researched the background of the problem, its history and recent studies that compared the two kinds of education, showing the advantages and disadvantages of ...

Compare the young girl’s thoughts on gender stereotypes in ‘Boys and Girls’ to the discussion provided by Stevie Cameron in her essay ‘Our Daughters, Ourselves’ how do both authors regard “being female” in their given circumstances? There are huge differences between these two texts: one is fictional and first published in 1968 and set in an even earlier period (the 1940s when Munro was a young girl), while the other is about a real incident and published in 1990. These differences in genre and date are important and need to be explored, not least because Cameron is writing at a ...

Background

This research paper illustrates ways in which a clinical nursing problem is addressed by various researchers in the medical field. In this research, a PICO question will be used as a tool that will help in developing a clinical question; does exercise vs. diet education reduce obesity in school children? Overweight and obesity are increasing in children and this has become a global concern.

The research and strategies are to enhance their levels of PA, in ...

Gender inequality has been a thorny issue in the education sector for many years. For a long time, there was express discrimination towards the girl child while the boy child was given preference. This problem is still evident in some developing countries. However, most of the developed countries have put up measures and strategies to ensure equality in learning institutions. These measures are designed to ensure that both genders get an equal opportunity to acquire an education. This is because lack of equitable education will directly affect the society as the underprivileged gender will have a less skilled labor force than the ...

Introduction

Gender segregation is the division of people according to the social construction that is, male and female. It may also refer to the tendency of the children in this case to play together with their colleagues of the same sex. Children at tender ages normally below three years tend to be non-discriminative in interaction with same or different genders. It's worth noting that children within same age group will more than likely behave in a certain general manner and even react to different situations in particular patterns. Children normally interact well with peers through social play networks which aid in ...

Wooldridge,(2000) the performance in mathematics is influenced by gender, proficiency of the students in the subject and the ethnicity. According to murphy M. (2000) gender is the greatest factor that influences the performance of mathematics. The research will be Causal ...

Abstract

Gender stereotypes in children is a common phenomenon that is instigated by the environmental conditions, especially social institutions such as schools, family, and religious institutions. The family is the basic socialization agent. However, all these social institutions categorize children into gender-based categories. Nevertheless, despite the widespread use of such initiatives to categorize individuals on gender basis, there has been little research to establish the causes of gender stereotypes in children. This research study hypothesized that, based on the cognitive development and environmental learning theory, environmental and cognitive factors interact to determine the gender stereotype and gender roles in children. ...

Women have recorded a progressive trend in terms of education and schooling over the past decade. 20 years ago, a small group of middle age women has posted secondary education certificate. Today the trend has changed, and more women are doing better than men in education and climbing the career ladder. This assertion should support the fact that educating women is much better than educating men. Statistics reveal that education indicators of women are much more beneficial than men. Women tend to do more in education than men and the gap are forever widening. Girls tend to score better marks ...

1. The presentation and look of the dishes itself was so appetizing that I was easily tempted to try out different foods. Being a student with limited finances I had to spend wisely, but since the range of food available was so wide I could conveniently buy a delicious meal at a low cost. My fair understanding of English gave me a deep insight of the American people. It was so relieving to experience that they are very cordial people who treat others with utmost respect and are very thoughtful. They are helpful and kind both in actions and words. I was impressed ...

A. Brief Overview of “Is Hooking Up bad for Young Women?”

Several authors look at the sex culture in today’s youths in comparison to the baby boomers. Jessica Valenti(2010) for instance argues that the problem with America today is not the casual sex as it is not new but the moral panic that exists. The mass media has driven sociologists and psychologists to investigate young hookups even more closely. Statistics by CDC and the NHSLS show that young adults today are having far less sex than the baby boomers. Hookups are not free for all as portrayed by the media but is rather a safe manoeuvre by young adults ...

Introduction

It is not surprising to know that girls are better students than boys. From common knowledge, this is now a statistically proved claim in most parts of the world, including the United Kingdom. There have been numerous studies undertaken in the past few decades that have focused on this question, and nearly all the results point to the same conclusion: as far as school education is concerned, girls outperform (always have) boys. The aim of this paper is to analyze some of these studies, their methodologies, and the corresponding results, from the perspective of theories in education. Though the ...

Education is a conventional mode of receiving knowledge needed for people to pursue professional aspirations. What shape such aspirations are schools that narrow children’s scope of interests, determine the areas of expertise and, most importantly, provide with knowledge. To make school environment better in terms of efficiency, school officials came to introduce class differentiation years ago. The system of single-class schools had not regained its popularity with American parents until 2000s. On paper, single class schools handle the problem of bullying, however, not necessarily. Better school performance and mental skills development are believed to be the case in such ...

Introduction

Coming of age is a big deal to a lot of young men and women, it gives them something to look forward to when they get to that specific age. For some, it is going to their first strip club and for others, it is hunting trip as well as shooting their first deer that signifies their status as a man/adult. This coming of age ritual is called a Rites of Passage, it is a holy ceremonial activity that people in certain cultures and religions partake in to cement their adult status. Rites of Passage is a very serious and effervescent pastime that people in ...

Careers that involve the application of mathematics, science and engineering skills contribute majorly to the economy. Despite the fact that women have made progress in their education in the past 50 years, the disciplines that involve mathematics, science and engineering courses are still dominated by men. This has been attributed to several factors, like the social and environmental barriers. The negative attitude that women have towards these subjects is the primary reason they chose to study other disciplines. The attitudes are mainly shaped by the societal norms, the legal system, and the professional practice that the women get. ...

Whenever people start talking about raising a child, there are always two points of view. One is that the boys are easier to be raised; the second one is that the girls are much easier to deal with. But it’s not the question of which path is easier, they are both kind of difficult, the point is that they are challenging in different ways. According to Greer “Masculinity is to maleness as femininity is to femaleness” and that says that maleness is a natural condition (sex), and masculinity is the cultural contrast, something that can be influenced and changed. The ...

The differences in the gender begin from the birth of a child with the general question by everyone, “Is it a boy or a girl”? Gender and gender roles are integrated with us since our inception in this world. The concept of masculinity and femininity is known as Gender, and the Gender Roles are the traits, expectations, and behaviors associated with men and women and what it means to be “masculine” or “feminine” (Bem, 152). The gender roles are associated for male and female depending on their gender. Though there are traditional differences in the roles, it is difficult to define ...

When a child is born, he or she gets to the world with no principles, social values, beliefs as well as conduct. However, the situation changes with time. As he or she starts to grow and comes to his or her senses at the advancement of age he or she understands the society he or she was born in and develops an interest in understanding the values and principles that govern the society. A child is likely to behave like the members of the family in which he or she has been born. This means that the society influences each ...

Just how different are boys and girls? In Kathryn Scantlebury's article "Gender Bias in Teaching," she argues that the premise of "treating students the same" regardless of gender is flawed, primarily because there are subconscious differences in how people will treat men and women. Scantlebury then goes on to explore the various gender biases that exist in society and in the classroom, noting the need for self-examination of practices. Despite the fact that these gender biases are indeed well-supported and valid, Scanterbury's assertion that all students should not be treated the same is an overreaction and oversimplification of the ...

The Boys and Girls Clubs of America (or BGCA) is a local based national organization that provides to the young people after school activities. With over 4000 independent clubs currently, the club has continued to offer after school programs to more than four million girls and boys.

The society defines specific roles for boys and girls. This means that boys are required to a perform to a particular degree as well as girls. The notion that boys are stronger and more aggressive than girls ahs made them face many challenges. Whenever the society looks at people to empower, it is the girls that are looked considered (Langan, 2011). The boys are expected to naturally posses and display certain qualities a failure of which they will be considered abnormal. With the current education system where boys and girls compete for top positions, it is expected that boys perform better. This ...

Theories of Gendered Learning

Gendered learning in its basic form implies the learning methods regulated with a person’s gender. Being male or female determines the learning method, choice of subjects and career of an individual. Theories such as Social Learning Theory, Cognitive Development Theory, and Gender Schema Theory, apart from explaining how children acquire gender identities, explain how gendered learning takes place. The overarching idea here is the fact that male and female children and even adults, learn differently. It is apparent that boys and girls score differently in any exams. Therefore, the theorists, in their theories, try to explain this apparent difference ...

When walking into toy departments, it is easy to notice several distinct isles. In most cases, the most distinct feature is the color of the toys and the general make of the toys. In one isle, one can find toys that are packaged in shades of grey, blue, brown and black. In another isle, the toys will be in pink, white and even red. These toys will have been marketed differently from the color to their designs, and this is what draws many people to them. This general presentation will determine which isle a person will visit to buy which ...

Intellectual Elaboration

The Gender Stereotypes within Children has emphasis on how children respond from the given questions about the difference between a boy and a girl. The Labels Against Women talks about a commercial advertisement that represents women empowerment.

An emotion regulation refers to the ability of a person to manage constructively and cope with his or her feelings. It can also be defined as means the process by which a person influence the emotions to have, when and how to experience the emotions. Individuals respond or express emotions in three ways. These ways are behavioural, experiential or physiological. Behavioural response means outward manifestation of emotions while experiential response implies internal reaction to an emotion. On the other hand, physiological response is body reaction to an emotion. Emotion regulation can occur prior to emotional response, antecedent focussed, or after emotional ...

As a newly assigned K-12 teacher in a school district, one must accept the challenges that come from being a newly appointed teacher. While teaching and helping students learn and prepare for their future can be rewarding, the daily tasks of disciplining and keeping order in the classroom can be exhausting. Being a teacher can be difficult because one have to interact with students with diverse family backgrounds and attitudes. (“Peek”)Problems on classroom violence, outdated teaching methods and parents concern on their children’s education are added responsibilities of a teacher.

In the English language, ‘being’ entails a sense of identity, while ‘doing’ connotes action. Gender, for years, has been marked as a sensitive issue in society because it taps many sectors. West and Zimmerman (1987) mentioned the difference between sex and gender, sex refers to biological and anatomical features of being male and female while gender is more socio-cultural in nature. Gender roles are a product of various cultural norms in various countries. The classification of members of society into two distinct categories of such as ‘girl’ or ‘boy’ or ‘woman’ or ‘man’ works in a social ...

Introduction

Naturalistic studies of children are special for those who have an interest in understanding childhood development. Children grow up in a social world within complex networks of relationships with others. It is within these social networks that they learn and develop their power of understanding, ability to communicate, sense of self, adjustment and power of coping with stress and changes. We are able to study children in a situation that have real emotional significance to them. This situation helps them make rational decision and choices that help to develop their critical thinking and decision-making. This also helps to study the aggressiveness ...

Introduction

Society dictates that people, in general, should always look good where the definition of looking good means an individual is skinny, slim, or someone who maintains a healthy weight. This thinking has influenced the youths of today to adapt the same philosophy and opinions that they apply to themselves as well as to others when it comes to defining beauty, confidence, body image, body satisfaction, and self-esteem, among others. Tiggemann and Pickering (1996) assert that mass media contribute to the formation of opinions about what an ideal woman looks like, thus, affecting how the younger generation view the subject as ...

Abstract

Biasness is the extent to which individual indulges in the stereotypical behavior based on the differences that account for various ethnic differences, cultural differences and gender differences. Children in this instance are also found to be indulging in the biasness regardless of their personal adherence and their act of biasness is found to be driven by their surroundings. The act of biasness in children is found to be driven by their familial responses in which the parents, guardians and elders of the children ascend their biased behavior in children as part of their early upbringing and thus, children develop ...

The aim of this essay is to present you with a sociological analysis of a widely shared assumption. The conventional wisdom which is widely shared on behalf of the majority of the American society is the fact that ‘girls seem to perform better at school than boys’. This widely shared social belief depicts the ideology and mentality of a multi-cultural society which seems to criticize people according to their gender. The specific belief which is to be presented in this paper is a belief closely related to the educational field. There have been more than once instances when the educational community has admitted ...

Introduction

In this paper, we look at gender discrimination against women in terms of early childhood investments, earnings in the labor market, education or asset ownership. Gender discrimination is prejudice against a person due to his or her sex. Gender discrimination may arise from traditional stereotyping of roles between males and females and encompasses the belief that one’s sex is superior compared to another’s. This paper relates to a lot of literature on gender discrimination in various fields as labor market discrimination and market interactions. Gender discrimination and sexism arise from issues of power (gender-specific) that is expressed in ...

It was a sunny morning in early September, and I was travelling by bus, heading for my new school. It would be an understatement to say that I was somewhat apprehensive. My previous school had been much closer to home, so even this bus trip was new. But now I was heading for an entirely new school environment where I had no existing friends, and where all the teachers were as yet strangers to me. I found myself feeling increasing anxiety as the school buildings drew nearer, because I was not wearing the school uniform. That uniform was a major ...

1. What are the components and time course of the development of gender identity? Sex identity develops through a methodology of differentiation: associations of biological, social, and cognitive-learning elements that happen after some time. Differentiation implies that an essentially comparative structure develops specially, contingent on the impact of different components. Chromosomally female and male human babies are undifferentiated (have a comparable physical structure) until after the second month of pre-birth development. As development advances, different impacts build the contrast between the genders. Changes in sexual and sex development happen (or don't happen) at particular times or touchy periods, and from ...

The social problems that face society today are overwhelming. From homelessness to poverty, to youth violence many people slip through the cracks and are left to find their own solutions. Because so many people are impacted by these issues it can often be hard to find resources to provide help for all of them. Fortunately organizations such as the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity are doing their part in ensuring the less fortunate get the help they so deserve. Habitat for Humanity is a Christian service, founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. It grew from a concept ...

The short story “Boys and Girls” (1968) by Alice Munro discusses a young girl’s coming of age, and her realization about what it means to be a girl in a society where gender roles preordained and stereotypes are highly prevalent. The author uses the young girl as the narrator who experiences an inner conflict, where she feels divided between what she wants to do in her life and what is expected of her. Munro’s choice of the setting of a rural area, more specifically a farm where sexism and gender based roles play much greater than in urban areas, is very fitting. ...

The research involved a question that was directed towards the relational and physical aggressiveness that is attributed to children. It is expected that the results will showcase that physically aggressive children are incited by hostile behavior that was instrumental in nature. In addition, it is anticipated that the children with relational aggression will prove to be influenced by relational provocations. The research about children and aggressive behavior was necessary because it highlighted the causes for how children behaved. In this context, most studies have always looked at factors that influence aggressive behavior. There has been a void in how relational aggressiveness ...

Kids like to play with toys. They are fun, but they also play an important role in how children learn about themselves, the world, and what it means to be a man or a woman. This type of socialization starts at a young age and continues into adulthood. Many psychologists, sociologists and parents accuse the toy industry of programming children’s sexuality, exploiting gender politics and reinforcing negative and repressive sexual stereotypes. However, the toy industry is in the business of making toys and money. The toy company marketing strategies are not a diabolical conspiracy to brainwash children or influence their sexuality. Parents ...

Abstract

Autism is not a physical disability. It is a neural development disorder that falls under the umbrella of developmental disorders. There are several other types of autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, including Asperger’s syndrome, Rett syndrome, and childhood disintegrative disorder, among others. Children with autism display various attributes that affect the developmental aspect of an individual such as the behavioral, communication, and social interaction. This becomes apparent during childhood and continues on to adulthood. Properly diagnosing whether a newborn baby is autistic is difficult during the infancy period because the behavioral symptoms associated with it have not yet fully been developed ...

Culture is simply the way of living of the people as it gives people a sense of identity, belonging and pride. This explains why people always regard their culture and have such a great esteem towards it. Culture entails several aspects of the community ranging from language, traditions, customs, and festivals among others. It is in this broad concept of culture that the rites of passage exist. There are many transitions that occur in the life of a person. Some of these transitions are trivial while others are major depending on societal consideration. The rites of passage are a cultural mark and the ...

Parents and educators have raised and echoed their concerns for the roles of toys and toy stores in determining and designing gender roles for kids. Most of these parents have shown support for toy stores in which toys are arranged based on themes and not gender. Although several toy traditional toy stores have failed and died out due to the introduction of traditional toys, large toy stores like Toys’ R US have adapted the new trends to survive the flexible demands of the market. A visit to the Toys’ R US stores revealed that, today, they sell a range of ...

Introduction

In almost every country, in the world, it is evident there is gender inequality. Even though, the problem varies in degrees depending on the age groups and across countries. According to Lorber (2010, p.67), there are many good reasons as to why the inequality gap should be closed; this is because it is good for both girls and boys. Gender stereotypes as well as inequalities usually set back Women and girls as well as men and boys. They learn this when they are very young age and a variety of factors influence them. The problem of gender may, however, be ...

Introduction

The use of statistic in articles has been under scrutiny in the recent years. Though there has been an improvement in the statistical use in articles, more than half of social science articles adopt statistical methods that contain numerous statistical errors. Some of the common errors seen include failing to record the statistical methods used or using an inappropriate method in to test the statistical hypothesis. The article analyzed is the absence of democracy and gender inequality in education for the miss-use of statistical analysis and reporting. In the review, the things that were considered are looking at the ...
