Functionalism and Gender • Functionalists argue that any pattern of behavior that does not benefit society will become unimportant. • Division of responsibilities between males and females survived because it benefited human living. • Example: Early Humans: men hunted/protected because they were expendable. • Today, traditional division of labor has created problems for modern society.

  3. Conflict Theory and Gender • According to the conflict theory, it is the men’s advantage to prevent women from gaining access to political, economic, and social resources. • If men can prevent women from gaining their potential, men can maintain status quo. • Example: Taliban women • Conflict theorists see tradition gender roles outdated. They are inappropriate for the industrial and postindustrial era.

  4. Symbolic Interactionism and Gender • Symbolic interactionistsfocus on how boys and girls learn to act the way they are “supposed to act.” • Gender socialization: the social process of learning how to act as a boy or girl. • Taught through interaction with peers, parents and media. • How do parents contribute to gender socialization? • In what ways do schools reinforce gender socialization? • http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2009-12-17-texas-school-hair_N.htm • How do peers contribute to gender socialization? • How does the media contribute to gender socialization? • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CWMCt35oFY&feature=player_embedded • How do sports contribute to gender socialization? • http://www.mediaed.org/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=208 • http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2011/01/14/portraying-athletes-his-and-hers-sports-illustrated-covers/
