Some people believe that girls and boys should play on the same sports team. In my opinion I don’t believe that is a good idea. Guys tend to be more competitive than girls. Boys are naturally stronger than girls and can hurt them while playing. And because having a member of the opposite sex would distract players and doesn't allow them to reach their full potential.
They create a danger or risk that helps keep the society paranoid. By doing this they exploit the instinct for most people to search for safety from a strong leader, turning them to the dictator (Niiler, 2011). A bully is defined as a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people (“Bully,” 2012). Bullying also can be different in boys than in girls. A boy is more likely to use physical threats or violence whereas girls more likely target other girls verbally.
The jealousy is seen by evolutionary psychologists as an adaptive response and it is therefore useful. Similarly, the jealous individual in the relationship could also cause their partner to commit an infidelity. It is noted that men are more likely to experience jealousy because of their fear of cuckoldry. Women, on the other hand, are worried about sharing or losing their investments and resources. Both men and women have evolved retention strategies to deter mates from infidelity.
The testes release testosterone and the ovaries release oestrogen. These hormones are linked with sex-specific behaviours such as aggressiveness and spatial awareness. A study by Dabbs et al (1995) showed a possible link between prisoners’ testosterone levels and the crimes they had committed. Those with high levels of testosterone were more likely to have committed crimes involving sex and violence than those with lower levels. The biological approach does seem to be supported by the tragic case study of David Reimer.
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
This renders that males are more capable of aggressive, violent behavior. (Jana L. Bufkin). Since women are sometimes excluded from obtaining broad bases of power in American society, therefore male are predominately considered in engaging in criminal activities. However, men are far more likely than women to victims of violent crime, with the exception of
As males are less investing, they compete within themselves through intra-sexual selection to achieve the dominant position of the alpha male and so have exclusive access to females. Evidence which supports this refers to ‘sexual dimorphism’ which is the difference in size between males and females. Males tend to be physically larger and stronger than a female which is consistent with the claim that they must compete for access to females. Therefore dimorphism is evidence for intra-sexual selection and polygymy as it suggest males fight for females. Inter-sexual selection refers to the selection of characteristics between the genders which females take upon.
Repeatedly teasing someone who clearly shows physical and emotions signs of distress is also recognized as bullying. Although the problem with bullying happens with boys, girls are more apt to utilize the more subtle indirect strategies, whereas boys are more likely to engage in direct bullying. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me", too bad that saying isn’t true. Being called names and having people target your for how you look, talks or act is hurtful to anyone. Girls are more likely to use this type of bullying.
2012. This article basically covers the Impact of Child Maltreatment and family violence can have on boys and young men, and how society tend to tolerated or in some cases even encourage among boys than girls. The article also give statistics showing that twice as much males are abuse when compare to female. I want to talk about abuse on a wilder skill and not just something that happen to one gender because some people might not know that young boy can also be sexually abuse. "Abuse, Interpersonal."
Hormones such as testosterones stimulate the development of secondary sex traits and raise the prospects for aggressive and sexual behavior. Testosterone begins to show its affect in utero and can affect the brain and development. When pregnant rhesus macaques monkey where injected with testosterone hormone, the fetuses resulted in an enlarged clitoris and masculine behaviors (Berkovitch, 1999). While an increase in testosterone increases a male’s aggressive and sexual behavior social factors can also influence the way the behavior is expressed. Lower ranking male talapoin monkeys mate less than dominant males not because of testosterone levels but because their behavior is suppressed by the dominant
