GENDER EQUALITY Bennett, S. E., & Bennett, L. L. (1992). From traditional to modern conceptions of gender equality in politics: Gradual change and lingering doubts. Western Political Quarterly, 45(1), 93-111. This book talks about the disappearance of gender difference turnout during the 1980s, which was an essential development in American politics. The book illustrates the various research studies which all showed an improved voter turnout for women by 1987, as compared to the gender parity that existed before the ratification of the 19th Amendment just before the 1920 elections. It also talks about the many changes in women’s involvement in society and politics during the past quarter-century. Squires, J. (2007).The new politics of gender equality.Macmillan International Higher Education.

It talks about the rising number of women…

Anthropology: Sex and Gender It is worth noting that sex and gender have been a critical concept in the anthropology discipline. Perhaps, sex is grounded on the perceived biological differences while gender is perceived to be cultural constructions that are observed, performed, and understood in the society, and it’s based on the perceived biological differences. Anthropology, which is the study of human behavior, has created sex and gender imbalances in society. This proposal aims to investigate the political leadership and differences created by sex and gender inequality in society. In many societies, political leadership has been grounded on a gender basis, which in turn has continued to create social differences in society. Studying human behavior based on political leadership helps to understand the role of men and women in society and the differences therein. Notably, women have been neglected and discriminated in leadership positions in society, which in turn has created a big gap in the political landscape. However, there has been social and political integration, which in turn has changed the perception of people towards leadership in society. Thus,…

Environmental, Biological Factors and Gender Gender behavior or the differences seen when considering gender behavior will focus on both biological and environmental influences. The biological factors will focus on the sex chromosomes that the child will have as well as their sex hormones. The sex chromosomes can be used to determine whether the child is a boy or girl since a girl will have XX chromosomes while the boy will have XY chromosomes. The environmental factors will revolve around socialization, that is, who the child socializes at school or home. The primary biological factor that will govern gender behavior or lead to gender differences will focus the sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes will contribute to the development of gender identity. Gender identity is highly essential since it will be linked to gender roles that have been established by society. The gender differences when it comes to gender behavior will focus on gender roles that have been established following the development of gender identity. Certain roles will apply to a particular gender. Girls will be expected to wear dresses while the…

Variations of Socialization Based on Gender, Ethnicity, Class, and Religion Introduction Socialization is an essential issue in the world at large. Socialization is referred to as a process of life that enables individuals to interact with one another (Cole, 2020). This is highly beneficial to them since they gain skills and self-identity through growing physically, mentally, and general growth in all spheres of life. Socialization is also important since it helps people to improve in terms of cultural heritage. Human beings, therefore, need to socialize to know various issues concerning their culture. Religious Socialization Religion is profoundly affected by Socialization. For instance, it helps youth in developing their beliefs on religion and is also referred to as the theory on religious specialization. Parents mostly help the youth in their religious beliefs by encouraging them to attend church activities and committing themselves in studies on spiritual matters (Lisa, 2015). Parents also assist the growth of their children during childhood by living harmoniously and keeping their families together through religious beliefs. Religious specialization works in two ways both parents and children can…

factors influencing thoughts and behaviors related to gender Different factors influence thoughts and behaviors related to gender. For example, a choice for a child to play with a doll or a truck or to be involved in an active play or passive play is more contributed by innate desires developed by biological factors. In most cases, female kids are mostly attracted to playing with dolls, while male kids are primarily invited to playing with the truck. This could be contributed by biological factors in that women are useful in children nurturing while men are good in physical works. In some other cases, most male kinds are found to be associated much in active play as compared to females. This shows that there is an internal force that controls the behavior of the young ones. In my view, gender identity is mostly influenced by biological factors. One can be able to identify if a child is a male or a female when observing its behavior without consulting any other person. Prompt 2 There are different language development theories that have been…

Continuing impacts of traditional gender Gender role is defined as the human character encompassing a series of attitudes and behaviours that are amicably considered appropriate desirable or else acceptable for people that is based on their sex.

Gender Violence Breaking the silence in gender-based violence involves learning how to share and talk about it to initiate ways and movements to an end. Cultural attitudes and beliefs contribute to the silence of gender violence. The breaking of silence is achieved by forming strong activism movements and has raised awareness, but challenges are still there. According to Hamby, women report cases of violence to enforcement agencies than men.  Women are likely to street harassment that is likely to result in sexual assault and rape. The #me too movement in the US was started as a movement against sexual harassment and assault. Women empowerment helps in helping a woman to know their rights and able to fight the sexual harassment and assault in the workplace and also helps end the victimization on women about gender violence. The rape myths are there to maintain a male advantage in the male-dominant culture with the assumption that those men involved are deviant and lack a sexual partner. Women are victimized by the myths that they exaggerate and makeup account of rape.

Zerophilia Film-Gender and Identity Introduction Gender identity is a phenomenon that, when raised carelessly in a contemporary world, would perhaps result in constant debate. The formation manifests itself at an early stage of one’s lifetime based on the subjective feeling of leaning towards baby-girls/ baby- boys. Boys would prefer to play with boys. Similarly, girls would play with girls, and so is the assigned tasks. Basing on the film   Zerophilia, the essay will explicitly discuss how each one is defined by gender and whether it shapes the way humans react in so many concepts. Later, the study will emphasize how different groups in the community view gender. Gender definition Human beings tend to belong to specific gender formation based on a personal realization of being either male or female. The concept is generally derived from the early stage of sex orientation by the community. The outward manifestation is probably seen from the behavior and the tasks they are assigned to perform. ‘Zerophilia’ is a film production released in October 2006 in North American which tried to explain ‘Zerophilia’ as a…
