Gender Roles In Education
Having an education can lead to many things in life, but for some children getting that education can be a challenge within itself. Many children grow up without a male figure in their life and struggle to find a positive male role model they can look up to. Having a male in the classroom can help aid this problem many children face at home. A male teacher is something many children, especially boys can benefit from because some boys naturally look to men as role models, so when comparing a male and a female teacher, something the man might say or do can have a greater impact on them. But look around, the teaching industry is dominated my females and it is rare to see a male teachers in elementary and middle schools.

    Although I would like to say that the genders are treated equally I feel that parents are more skeptical of male teachers, especially teaching younger grades (K-3). In the teaching community both genders have equal tasks and responsibilities; teach and protect students. I have seen both male and female teachers in Meadowbrook and they are treated the same by their co-workers. Students tend to listen better to male teachers because they see them more as authority figures (from what I have seen). But, overall, I believe that as long as you’re becoming a teacher because it is your passion it doesn’t matter what gender you…

    A large number of female teachers have an adverse effect on boys, according to an essay Left Behind Boys, the effect is "so-called ‘boy crisis'" (Li). The female teacher is not easy to manage the boys, so it causes a situation that boys always make a wrong impression on everybody. However, "boys are struggling more than girls in school," according to the survey report, "while becoming intellectually and physically weaker" (Li). It doesn't mean that boys are not bright, and it just shows that boys cannot fit in school. Most of the boys are pretty naughty, they prefer to run anywhere rather than keep silence; then, they are also to be pinpointed "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" (Li). Therefore, boys cannot control themselves when they…

    Gender Roles In Society

    Gender roles are expectations of how a person should act, dress, and talk based on his or her sex. A majority of people conform to these roles at an early age, and will continue to carry these beliefs, often unconsciously, around with them throughout their lives, and these beliefs can affect people negatively. The message that gender roles send is that in order to be part of society, you must fit into the predisposed mold for your gender, or most importantly, what society deems as acceptable. But at the same time, try to incorporate individuality and establish a sense of self.…

    Today’s television shows have made an effort to stray from the classic American family and the gender roles within it. While gender roles aren’t as evident as they use to be, that’s not to say they do not exist. The Brady Bunch is a perfect example of gender roles existing even in a non-traditional family in the 1970’s. In a more current show, Full House, we also see a non-traditional family without a mother, but after looking closer I found that gender roles are still there.…

    Gender roles develop over time, it starts from a very young age and continues as you grow older. Gender roles can be affected by stereotypes and how society thinks you should behave. As a female that is still young and growing I still have issues with stereotypes telling me I should be passive, subordinate, and nurturing, also that I should be doing stuff a woman should be doing for example taking care of the kids/ watching them, doing all the house hold work, and cooking for the husband and kids and have food ready for when they come home. I’m not even close to these stereotypes and how society says I should be, I’m actually and young woman who loves to play sports and play video games, I am kind, caring, and nurturing person, but I also have…

    Women: soft, emotional, loving, motherly, and a supporter. Men: aggressive, hard-working, fatherly, leader, strong, and inexpressive. These two genders are very different and are in fact opposites. When women try to break the stereotype, it does not typically go well. There is a borderline within gender that should not be crossed. In a 2004 film entitled “Million Dollar Baby” directed by Clint Eastwood he is trying to define the rules of gender. Eastwood creates a movie where the main character is a female and the female is trying to dominate a male dominated sport, boxing. The movie “ Million Dollar Baby” portrays that Clinton Eastwood is trying to protect male masculinity in the sporting world by showing the rise and fall of women in a male dominated sport.…

    In society today, women are being degraded, mistreated, and abused has sadly come to a point to where it has been tolerated and a part of everyday life. If we do not see it every day, we are constantly surrounded by it and goes unnoticed by us because it has simply become “normal”. For those of us who have listen to hip hop and rap stations on the radio, understand first hand that almost every song that comes on include the words bitch and ho, referring to us women. We sometimes don’t realize that we constantly supporting the music that “repeatedly reduces me [women] to ass and encourages pimping on the regular” (Morgan 455). Just like we are some kind of property to the male sex, we are their “bitches” like we have become some belonging that can be easily thrown away and forgotten just as easily as it was for us to become seduced. Now I’m not proclaiming that all men and women are this way, I’m simply putting a spotlight on an issue that I feel has taken a turn for the worst and has come to be part of the society that we continue to live in every day.…

    Growing up children don’t really understand too much about finances and how their parents work them out. Looking back, I can conclude that my parents had it all figured out and did what worked best for them. Obviously each family and its financial situation is different, but based on a married couple, both employed, with children, financial decision s should be made equally and, if possible, finances should be divided up evenly. Both partners should have say so in how finances are handled. After all that’s what a partnership is about right?…
