Importance of Your Biological Sex as a Determinant of your...

â€Å"How important is your biological sex as a determinant of your gender expression? Is gender a socially constructed performance†? Throughout society, gender roles are often perceived to be typical male or female stereotypes. This can be seen through almost all television programs and often refers society expecting males to love cars, sports, drinking beer, be masculine and work in a type of trade. The same goes for women, society perceives women to love shopping, work in offices, nurture or care for children and love to express feelings. This essay will explore how gender roles are actually quite different than expressed through media, shown through sexuality, culture, workplace related issues and gender roles. Sexuality: In society,†¦show more content†¦Colemen J (2011) suggested that Females often show characteristics that represent kindness, for example nurturing, whereas males often show characteristics of a gatherer for the family, for example earning income to keep the family alive. In today’s society, stay at home dads are still a minority, however gender roles are beginning to change. Some women are more inclined to be working from 9 till 5 while their husbands or partners are staying at home caring for their child. Behavioural: Our behavioural aspects also can impact our gender impression. Rape is often perceived as a outrageous act between a man forcing sexual intercourse upon a woman, however this is not always the case. As stated by the centre of disease control and prevention (2012) from 2004 to 2006 approximately 105,187 females and 6,2526 males reported being victims of sexual assault. However men are still a very small minority, having 42,661 less cases reported within the two year survey they still fall victims to rape. This can come in two different forms, male on male rape and female on male rape. Rape often occurs when one wants to express their dominance. when a female rapes a man, they are seeking dominance as well. This shows that females who rape show traits of male gender expression. (gender roles, stay at home dads, women working 9-5 Workplace - women do lots of jobs that men would typically do eg, labourers.) Workplace: Often throughout our workplaces, typically men are portrayed to workShow MoreRelatedCOM3702 Portfolio10930 Words   |  44 PagesHISTORY OF COMMUNICATION POLICY 4 2.1.1 Paradigms of communication policy 4 2 1.2 Emerging Communication industry policy 5 2.1.3 Public service media policy 6 2.2 FREEDOM OF MEDIA 7 2.2.1 The need for freedom of expression 7 2.2.2 Threats to it 7 2.2.3 If, how and why such threats can or cannot be motivated 7 3.

So long as the sex relationship remained unregulated, it was maternity alone which could be known. Paternity could not be determined. It is logical to say that at some stage of human development, the necessity arose for demarcating possession and ownership of material belongings as a natural consequence of human behavior and the human male was seized with the idea of knowing his children. This was not possible if sex promiscuity continued to be the rule.
