Gender/Socially Constructed
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page research paper that examines the concept that gender roles are socially constructed. The terms "gender" and "sex" are often used interchangeably by the public, which implies that the sex of an individual necessarily determines the way that they will behave and that the social norms regarding gender expectations are biologically controlled. Contrasting to this view, social scientists have shown that the only fact that is biologically determined is the ability to be either a mother or a father. Gender, that is, male or female behavioral norms within a given culture, are socially constructed, not biologically determined. If gender roles had a basis in human biology then men and women would behave similarly across culture boundaries and this is not the case. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Gender: Nature Or Nurture?
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Gender issues span a significant range of concerns based upon performance, intelligence and aptitude; however, the very fundamental components of such social struggle stem from whether nature or nurture commands greater credit and why. Patriarchy has long assumed that the male gender is, by nature, regarded as superior over its female counterpart; while this mentality has been somewhat reversed in certain global communities, it still takes precedent in many others that refuse to alter centuries-worth of tradition. Of the myriad occasions for the nature/nurture argument to exist, sports and language represent two where the student might apply a combination of both aspects. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
