Well, for most women subordination to men was the norm, from childhood young girls were taught that the father was the head of the family. It could be argued that most women didnʼt mind being placed below males
In reading the article “Can We Talk”, self-disclosure in a relationship means a lot to both men and women when communicating and interacting with each other. I’ve been married twice- not to the same person twice and being self-disclosed to them was a nightmare. Things that I would share with them would get told to their friends, my family or strangers in general. I cannot say I had a good experience being self-disclosed. The article talks about the gender role between men and women role during intimacy and how affectionate they can become.
Traditionally, the female stereotypic role is to marry and have children. She is also to put her family's welfare before her own; be loving, compassionate, caring, nurturing, and sympathetic; and find time to be sexy and feel beautiful. The male stereotypic role is to be the financial provider. He is also to be assertive, competitive, independent, courageous, and career‐focused; hold his emotions in check; and always initiate sex. These sorts of stereotypes can prove harmful; they can stifle individual expression and creativity, as well as hinder personal and professional growth.
Projects such as the Effective Provision of Pre-School Education (EPPE) and Peers Early Education Partnership (PEEP) have been instrumental in highlighting the long term impact that high quality early years provisions can have on young children. “Communication in childcare is the one of the greatest ways to provide the best care for the child on both ends - for parents and providers. Not only is this the best way to provide the best possible care for the child, but it makes for a great relationship between parents and providers” http://www.myparentime.com/articles/articleS198.shtm Training and Development Practitioners have many teaching responsibilities to children, families and professionals. Using training and development helps to develop the skills, attitudes and practices of a competent teacher. It helps practitioners to provide new ideas and thoughts about practice and to feel confident about areas of work or knowledge that needs updating.
Discuss Kohlberg’s theory of gender development. Kohlberg’s Gender Consistency Theory basically argues that the development of a consistent gender identity can be seen as part of the child’s more cognitive development. Young children find concepts such as conservation hard but older children do not. Similarly as children get older they understand that there can be different perspectives on a situation to their own. The child responds to the influence of other people but is actively engaged in developing its own concept of its and others genders.
That is, men and women, as well as boys and girls, are more alike than they are different” (Hyde, 2005, p. 581). To prove her hypothesis she focused on specific categories for possible similarities such as, cognitive variables, nonverbal and verbal communication, social and personality variables, psychological well-being, motor behaviors, and moral reasoning. My opinion of gender, prior to reading the article, men and women are far more different than others tend to want to believe. Women tend to be more driven by their emotions whereas men are driven more on their skills to problem solve and physical capabilities. That is not to say that there is not a sense of equality, but based on my personal observations a female has the tendency to be more capable of carrying out and following through with tasks more than a man.
Almost all people think that getting married the one who he or she loves is natural. But there are some situations when someone cannot get married to him or her because it is socially unacceptable. The definition of marriage for different people means different things. Marriage has some forms, but nowadays the same sex marriage is the most discussed topic. So in this essay I’m going to compare the traditional marriage and the same sex marriage.
E2- One current law that influences working practices in a setting for children is the children act 1989. The children act 1989 is especially vital because it increases the importance of putting the child first. One way this law influences working practice in a setting for children is because the act makes one of the following statements ‘What’s best for the child must always be the first consideration.’ C.Meggit childcare and education 2012 pg.118 which influences practice as in the setting it is always vital that practitioners put each individual child’s needs first which is also stated by the early years foundation stage as they state ‘a secure foundation through learning and development opportunities which are planned around the needs and interests of each individual child and are assessed and reviewed regularly’https://www.education.gov.uk/publications/eOrderingDownload/EYFS%20Statutory%20Framework.pdf Which promotes individual learning and putting the childs needs first. . Another law that influences the working practice in a setting for children is the equality act 2010.
This implies that all people can be placed into either category, when it isn’t in fact this simple. Sex is an attributed status, whereas gender must be learned. The learned behaviours of what it is to be a ‘woman’ in society is one engulfed in many inequalities. In this analysis of gender issues, I would like to particularly focus on women and gender equality. The question to be looked at is ‘What does it mean to be a woman?’Although there has been some progress in the past 30 years, particularly in women’s education and employment equality, there are still many inequalities and also more inconspicuous issues affecting the women of today including domestic violence and rape and sexual abuse and I would like to look further into this.
People are willing put down one another with derogatory connotations especially during times of anger when one is more willing to act on impulse rather than to contain one’s self. Society has created many different stereotypes over the years; some may be more popular than others while some can be found only in certain regional areas. Stereotypes run deep worldwide and are inevitable due to human nature; these simplified conceptions cause people to act in certain ways towards one another. Within the I Want a Wife essay written by Judy Syfers, she describes what a man wants in his perfect wife and how she should act and conduct herself in his home. This is an example of gender stereotypes where the women/wife is expected to do everything in the home a mother would do and still raise the children without any help from the husband.
