Girls can be as or maybe more competitive then boys. And those are the girls who should be playing on the same sports team as boys. But all girls might not be physically on that level and its dangerous to allow them to play on the same team. They can get hurt and its easier to just allow them to play on their own team with other girls. Research shows that when boys get hurt they can shake it off.
Skeletal maturity affects boys and girls differently when it comes to their ability to perform motor skills. Boys who are more skeletal mature tend to have the ability to perform motor skills better, while for girls it tends to play less of a factor with the ability of their motor skills (Pangrazi & Beighle 2010). The two children I picked from figure 2.6 were the heavier girl on the end and the taller more muscular girl second from the other end. The heavier girl may have a hard time keeping up with the running back and forth of a game of soccer. She may also have a hard time keeping up with the speed of some of the other children.
Since the early 1990’s, girls have begun to outperform boys at most levels of the education system. According to Pirie in Item A, the modular courses and continuous assessment found in education today has been seen to favour the systematic approach of girls, compared to the old O level exam which typically favoured boys. These changes within the education system are seen as the main result of gender differences in education, nevertheless, external factors such as the impact of feminism and changes in the job market may also have influenced the increase in girl’s attainment. Firstly, it may be argued that the way pupils are assessed has favoured girls and disadvantaged boys. Gorard found that the gender gap in achievement was stable from 1975 up until 1988 when it increased rapidly.
At an early age boys tend to be more aggressive than girls, due to the ability to socialize being easier for girls than for boys thereby, creating gender difference in antisocial behavior. Also at an earlier age girls are more apt to show empathy and guilt than males. This difference may also include parenting and the way the parents respond to a difficult child, the mother being more empathetic to the child than the
She did this with 651 participants of varying age. Two minutes later the participants were stopped again and asked to recall the physical characteristics of the woman. All age groups performed similarly but younger age groups were significantly more confident in their recall, suggesting that perhaps it is older participants lack of confidence in recall which perhaps leads them to be easily influences by misleading information. However, it is not just the elderly who can be misled by inaccurate information therefore affecting the reality of the EWT, Robert and Lamb investigated interviews of 161 children who had filed in allegations of abuse. In 68 interviews, the researcher had distorted the child’s report or had added in misleading information.
Annie Dillard’s, “Stunt Pilot,” is a compelling story of her personal adventure through the air with renowned stunt pilot, Dave Rahm. Dillard takes one through the scenic journey she evoked on that day at the air show in Washington. Later, Dillard is granted the opportunity of a lifetime when she embarks on a flight with Rahm to explore the natural wonders of the mountains. Through her use of description, Dillard is able to successfully compare the craft of stunt pilots to the arts while effectively appealing to the readers emotion at the same time. First, Dillard recollects the moment she became entranced with David Rahm’s performance at the air show.
Another factor contributing to women’s ACL injury rate is their increased anterior translation. This mechanism is related to the natural laxity within female ligaments that allow for the tibia to move anteriorly before its’ supporting muscles are able to control the movement (Duarte). Co-activation of the hamstrings and quadriceps help to decrease the amount of tibial movement during landing, pivoting, rapid deceleration and acceleration (Duarte). However, women athletes tend to respond by more so activating their quadriceps. Through these deficits in strength and engagement of the hamstrings, the maximal quad contraction exceeds the strength of the ACL, subjecting it to overloaded tension and stress
Straight Edge William Dowell in his essay “Life on the Edge” does an excellent job explaining to us his feeling that people in America, more so than other countries, are much more prone to take risks because their lives are boring. His repeated use of vivid words keeps the reader interested, he used quotes from real life risk takers, as well as using actual statistics are just a few ways he incorporates his writing skills to help prove his point. Dowell’s use of statistics and numbers was of great use in his essay. It was leverage to prove that more people have taken up riskier extreme sports within the last few years. “Snowboarding has grown 113 % in five years and now boasts nearly 5.5 million participants.
Department of Education that show that girls outshine boys in reading, writing, science, math, and have a lot higher educational aspirations. She also gives us data that shows that girls are starting to beat boys in enrolling in college, and that girls are more engaged in academically then boys. She implies that all of this has been happening because the educational doesn’t “favor” boys over girls anymore. I agree with that statement, but I also don’t think that the educational should let boys be “left behind” either. Yes, boys are bad at school; I can say this because I’m a boy and I see everything first hand, my peers are less and less interested in school and college, they often talk about just either dropping out of high school and getting a job, graduating and just work and not go to college or simply join the military.
Young adults become much more sensitive to peer pressure than they were earlier or will be as adults.”As teens become better at thinking abstractly, their social anxiety increases.”(Nixon 2014) You can easily persuade and adolescent by the majority vote. In the case of an adult, they already have the common sense to do what they know is right.”So even if all they do is sit around with their friends, teens are hard at work acquiring important life skills.” (Nixon 2014) The difference between teens and adults is that adults have more street knowledge rather than kids who are barely thrown into reality.”Teens are more likely to change their decisions or alter their behavior in response to peer pressure.” You cannot really alter an adults decision with peer pressure, but teens are very susceptible to that type of pressure. In the case of an adult pressuring a teen, you do not see the teen really pay attention to the “Parental figure.” “Teenagers engage in more risky behavior than adults. There are two “blind spots” that adolescents have when it comes to assessing risk that work together to increase their risk-taking behavior.” Adults have more experience assessing riskier situations than teens. Adults have a better knowledge of the streets, although teens think they know everything adults are much more intelligent.
