Sports and gender             The UNESCO international charter on physical education and sport affirms that “the practice physical education and sport is a fundamental right for all.” Gender has been an important category of analysis in the understanding of sports. The concept of gender has in the past been used when determining the inclusion or exclusion of women in sports. These views seek to reflect the biological difference between the two genders claiming that men are inherently strong, aggressive and competitive making them better suited to sports as compared to women.

The thesis of this paper is to answer the question of whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete against female athletes in sports.

By nature, humans will continue to evolve and adapt to their immediate surroundings, and child development is no different. The development of children is categorized into infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, and emerging adulthood. Each of these stages brings into perspective various complexities in physical, social, and cognitive dimensions (Black et al., 2017). Although some developments occur naturally, others are nurtured; both set the foundation for our lives and how we reason, interact, and act on issues. Just like any other child, I went through these developmental phases. The first two years were the ones of my dramatic growth and changes. As a newborn, the person who immensely influenced my development was my mother. At this stage, I had a keen sense of hearing but poor vision.

Each day my mother tucked me to sleep, she…

Aspects of Interpersonal Communication in the Film “The Break-up” Communication is central to the existence and survival of human beings, mainly in their relationships. It involves the act of creating and sharing thoughts, opinions, and feelings amid people as they try to reach a common ground. Essentially knowing how to communicate to a specific audience is significant in helping to sharpen critical thinking skills and reading the verbal and nonverbal cues.

That time I Loved you  When I was six, my family moved out of the small house in Main Street of the town to a mansion in a brand new subdivision. The location was so new that there was mud in place of grass. Thus, with the help of my siblings, we planted several vegetable and flower patches in an attempt to brighten the area. After a month, landscapers came to lay the sod whereby they plunked it on top of our pansies, and in no time, pea pods, supported by popsicle sticks, grew during the summer. Afterward, I understood something about subdivision life that I could never wrap my mind around until I read That Time I Loved You by Carrianne Leung. The setting of the book is during Scarborough’s suburban development in 1970. For instance, the comparable houses that were described as ‘three Two storeys and a bungalow, repeated as a pattern and arranged carefully on the streets’ (AUTHOR).

Literature review:The effect of gender and the nature of social conformity Gender is the role we are socialized to by society in terms of being male or female. It is crucial to note that gender affects not only our attitudes and beliefs about us and others but also about how we behave when we relate to other people. Indeed, this has been an area under intense research for years, and there appears to be a link between gender and how we change our attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to fit with people we most identify with. For example, men are more likely to agree with male behavior to be perceived as part of the group and have a sense of belonging. This is because they feel pressured to appreciate that fellow men have a high status in society and should behave and think in a certain manner. However, the effect on our conformity in the social sphere varies from one person to another. Various researchers have delved into this field and found interesting perspectives about how gender affects the conformity of…
