INTRODUCTION

Everyone remembers stories beginning with “once upon a time” and ending in “happily ever after.” Some people see fairytales as antiquated ideologies that are not beneficial in the modern era. Others believe that they are harmless tales intended to spark children’s imagination. Fairytales can establish ideologies about good and evil and right and wrong. They are, also, filled with pointed gender role ideals and gender stereotypes that are, today, ethically questionable. In the last few decades, there has been a literary movement of taking classic fairytales and attempting to update them and eliminate many stereotypes. This leads to ...

Teenage boys may feel that girls are aliens, because they seem different, but in Neil Gaiman’s short Sci-Fi story, “How to talk to girls at parties”, the girls really are from another planet. The author humorously recounts the experience of two teenage boys, Vic and Enn, whose lack of experience around girls and nascent sexuality, cause them to ignore the visible signs that the girls they meet at a party are not from this world. Throughout the story, Enn, from whose perspective the story is told, is so focused on trying to talk to the girls he meets ...

The lecture deals with the complex role of gender in children’s play. It questions the relevance of gender to the issue and the ways to address it in the current circumstances.

These theories include three main models of gender formation: Biological Model, Socialization ...

The question of defining one’s gender has long been an issue. Contrary to the modern biological reduction that purports itself to be self-evident, people across the millennia have found different ways of being male or female. As always, art has been one of the greatest ways culture has had to depict this. Particularly, the lead young female characters in two short stories by women authors in the twentieth century will allow the reader to see one precise way of construction of the female gender, and the male one by subtraction. In Alice Munro’s “Boys and Girls” and ...

The articles “Roll Back the Red Carpet for Boys” by Donna Laframboise and “Our daughters, ourselves” by Stevie Cameron talk about gender inequality in the eyes of the public, but the truth is that both boys and girls are victims of discrimination. I support the equality and believe that boys should be treated as well as girls are and that girls should not be over-protected. There is the emotional appeal in the article “Roll Back the Red Carpet for Boys” because the author, who is a journalist, writes about the difficulties that young boys face during the process of ...

Abstract

Social attitudes have a considerable impact on how people behave towards gender. During the growing up years of children, their attitude towards gender are shaped largely by how parents relate to them. By mere assigning household chores, young boys and girls learn to associate the meaning of their gender with their roles. It was through the modelling and encouragement of parents and other members of the family that young people learn to act according to their gender. Accordingly, the stereotypical attitude towards gender have a detrimental effect in the development of both girls and boys. Girls tend to abide ...

A) Most recent researches have revealed that the once widely held belief that men are naturally more intelligent and competent than women, especially when it comes to numeric and computational ability, has no genetic evidence to prove it. It is true that traditionally boys always scored better than girls on mathematics tests, but this has more to do with the fact that the boys had better access than girls of their age to quality education. As a result, this difference in the level and extent of information and instruction that both genders had access to, affected their performance later ...

In fact, there are considerable differences in physical activity, emotions, interests, perception between men and women.

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

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 ...

Chapter One

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

In this context, most studies have always looked at factors that influence aggressive behavior. There has been a void in how relational aggressiveness ...

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.

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 ...

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. ...
