Men Vs Women - Comparison and Contrast essay
Men vs. Women
By Angelica G. Sto. Domingo
Ever thought why and how are people different from each other? Their basic differences (which can also be their similarities) are intelligence, opinions, body structure, religion, responsibilities, priorities, goals, and personalities. But the most obvious of all these is their difference in gender (Sozdinler, 2008). According to Sozdinler, many ancient and modern philosophers say that people are born in equal conditions. They may have the same intelligence and opinions, such as believing in God, living a righteous life, helping people, etc. These similarities apply between men and women, such as many married couples who share their duties equally and similarly. For example, they both go to work to help each other with their financial needs, and then they help each other in nurturing their children.
But, besides of these few similarities, men and women have more differences which are mostly caused and thought of by the society.
Obviously, men and women are very different physically. First of all, men do not have to go through certain changes that women experience, just like menstruation, and they cannot give birth, which is the most painful thing women will ever experience. And second, men have better builds than women because they were made bigger and stronger. This is why it is believed that a man's body can endure more than a woman's ("Men vs. Women", n.d.).
They are also different emotionally. Women tend to be more emotional and rational than men, like whenever they are in relationships, they put their mind, body, and soul into making decisions. Meanwhile, men are far less emotional and react on impulse during situations for the sake of having a reason to do so ("Men vs Women (Comparison & contrast)", n.d.). Another one of their many differences is their intellectuality. Aydin (2011) stated that "almost all scientists accept that a person's language learning ability, comprehension ability, and emotional quotient are
