Presentation Transcript

  1. Gender

  2. Sex is biological • Gender involves culture, roles, expectations and norms • Gender Identity: cultural norms that affect how we see ourselves, starting at birth.

  3. Gender Socialization • Gender socialization begins with the family where a child first sees roles in their homes. It then continues throughout schooling. • Studies show that males are called on more, and get more praise in and outside of school.

  4. Media Roles • Female roles are more often than not for younger thinner women and are more likely to be in bathing suits or small tight clothes. • Males are more often than not referred to as the hero and are not supposed to be emotional.

  5. Functionalist • A functionalist would look at the sexual division of labor, where the male is “the bread winner” and the female has the “expressive role” based on what society believes.

  6. Conflict • Through this perspective, a sociologist would argue whether such a division of labor is or is not beneficial to society.

  7. Interactionist • From this micro perspective an interationist looks at gender stratification (the unequal distribution of wealth, power, and privilege between men and women) on a day to day level • i.e. men are more likely to interrupt women in conversation and supposedly have more power in the work place

  8. Jobs • Males are more likely to be a principle, doctor, journalist, construction worker, or have a significant TV role. • Females are more likely to be a nurse, teacher, housewife, or any pink collar job. • Females are more concerned with their physical appearance than males because of what is portrayed on social media
