Okay, so I watched a video on this in health class today...haha. All right, the question is: are men and women born differently? Or has our society made it seem that way? Why do girls automatically play with Barbie dolls and boys like violence? Why do women remember landmarks better than guys, and guys can work better with maps? Just little things like that...are we truly born different? Womens' rights activists say our society just makes it seem that way. Scientific stuides prove otherwise. I don't know what to think about this yet...what do you have to say about it?

QUOTE Yes, but does that ultimately change the way we think, and enables us to have certain skills in things compared to the opposite sex? Well.. not necessarily.. i mean, yes, there will be differences, but i think that society stereotypes far too heavily and thus also influences their development.. i mean, if say a boy and a girl were each placed in separate environments disjointed from society, their development would likely be similar Its like constantly hearing things about oneself, and then slowly becoming what you hear.. whether we like it or not, we cannot deny that everything we encounter in our surroundings affects us in some way and changes the people we are |
