    Minjin Kim Richard Jong ASAM 320 March 29, 2015 Female Roles in Society Men and women are by no means same. They both have certain gender roles that the other can’t duplicate. It does not mean that one side is better than the other; therefore, people should treat both men and women equally. Even though people can observe that women’s education allow women to live a better life, and more and more women succeeding in their life, some culture still defines women’s role unequal. Throughout the history, women play an important role in our society.

  • Parents Influence On Gender Roles

    1073 Words  | 5 Pages

    Introduction Parents play an important role in guiding the development of their child in the early years, before the influence of teachers and peers comes into play (Diem-Wille, 2014). This influence that parents have on their children would naturally affect the child’s perception of gender roles and stereotypes. Following the approach of the Gender-Schema Theory, the child learns about gender in his or her society by observing behaviours of the people around him or her and then classifying the information as characteristic of different genders (Bem, 1983). The family environment and experience would therefore be central to helping the child construct schemas about gender roles since parents’ actions and attitudes are part of the information that the child receives from the environment that is integrated into the schema (McHale, Crouter, & Whiteman, 2003).

    Good morning Mrs Snyman and Mrs Sibisi, I am very grateful for this opportunity to share my thoughts and opinions on the novels I have read and why I think they should be included in the library. The four novels I strongly believe should be included in the library each focus on gender stereotyping in their own different but relevant way coming all together to conclude to the fact that as females it is punishing for us in a world where males are given more opportunities and hold more power over us. This widely held but fixed image of females is real and in some extreme cases women of strict cultures and religions often suffer if they do not abide to their expected roles.

    Religion and gender are two very important factors in people's lives. It is well known that religion can have big influences on our identities. It has been found that religion influences many people's beliefs about gender roles (Bartkowski & Read, 2003). Gender roles can be defined as the parts that men and women are typically expected to play in society in different cultures. These roles can dictate how men and women are expected to act in society, as well as what type of attitudes and personality traits that they are typically expected to display in their culture (Nugent, 2015).
