Unit 3 Gender DifferenceGender Roles from a Cultural PerspectiveOver the past few decades, it has been proven innumerable times that the various types of behavior, emotions, and interests that constitute being masculine and feminine are patterned by both heredity and culture. In the process of growing up, each child learns hundreds of culturally patterned details of behavior that become incorporated into its gender identity. Some of this learning takes place directly. In other words, the child is told by others how to act in an appropriately feminine or masculine way. Other details of gender behavior are taught unconsciously, or indirectly, as the culture provides different images, aspirations, and adult models for girls and boys.Recently, for example, a study of American public schools showed that there is a cultural bias in education that favors boys over girls. According to the researchers, the bias is unintentional and unconscious, but it is there and it is influencing the lives of millions of schoolchildren every year. Doctors David and Myra Sadker videotaped classroom teachers in order to study gender-related bias in education. Their research showed that many teachers who thought they were nonsexist were amazed to see how biased they appeared on videotape. From nursery school to postgraduate courses, teachers were shown to call on males in class far more than on female students. This has a tremendous impact on the learning process for, in general, those students who become active classroom participants develop more positive attitudes and go on to higher achievement. As a matter of fact, in the late 1960s, when many of the best all-women's colleges in the northeastern United States opened their doors to male students, it was observed by professors and women students alike that the boys were "taking over" the classroom discussions and that active participation by women students had diminished noticeably. A similar subordination of female to male students has also been observed in law and medical school classrooms in recent years.3 Research done by the Sadkers showed that sometimes teachers unknowingly prevented girls from participating as actively as boys in class by assigning them different tasks in accordance with stereotyped gender roles. For instance, one teacher conducting a science class with nursery school youngsters, continually had the little boys perform the scientific "experiment" while the girls were given the task of putting the materials away. Since hands-on work with classroom materials is a very important aspect of early education, the girls were thus being deprived of a vital learning experience that would affect their entire lives.Another dimension of gender-biased education is the typical American teacher's assumption that boys will do better in the "hard", "masculine" subjects of math and science while girls are expected to have better verbal and reading skills. As an example of a self-fulfilling prophecy, American boys do, indeed, develop reading problems, while girls, who are superior to boys in math up to the age of nine, fall behind from then on. But these are cultural, not genetic patterns. In Germany, for example, all studies are considered "masculine", and it is girls who develop reading problems. And in Japan, where early education appears to be nonsexist, both girls and boys do equally well in reading.The different attitudes associated with the educational process for girls and boys begin at home. One study, for example, showed that when preschoolers were asked to look at a picture of a house and tell how far away from the house they were permitted to go, the boys indicated a much wider area than the girls, who generally pointed out a very limited area close to the home. Instead of being encouraged to develop intellectual curiosity and physical skills that are useful in dealing with the outside world, as boys are, girls are filled with fears of the world outside the home and with the desire to be approved of for their "goodness" and obedience to rules. These lessons carry over from the home to the classroom, where girls are generally observed to be more dependent on the teacher, more concerned with the form and neatness of their work than with its content, and more anxious about being "right" in their answers than in being intellectually independent, analytical, or original. Thus, through the educational process that occupies most of the child's waking hours, society reinforces its established values and turns out each gender in its traditional and expected mold.从文化角度看性别角色1 在过去的几十年里，已经无数次地证实了这样一个事实：构成男子阳刚之气和女子阴柔之气的各种不同类型的行为、情感、和兴趣都既是遗传又是文化熏陶的结果。

性别差异英语作文Gender Differences。

Gender differences have been a topic of debate for many years. Men and women are different in many ways, including their physical, emotional, and mental characteristics. These differences can be attributed to biological, social, and cultural factors.One of the most obvious gender differences is physical strength. Men are generally stronger than women due totheir larger muscle mass and bone density. This difference can be seen in sports, where men dominate in events requiring physical strength and endurance. However, women have certain physical advantages, such as greaterflexibility and a lower center of gravity, which make them better suited for some sports.Emotional differences between men and women are also apparent. Women are often considered more emotional andempathetic than men. They tend to be more in touch with their feelings and express them more openly. Men, on the other hand, are often more reserved and less likely to share their emotions. This difference can be attributed to social and cultural factors, as men are often taught to be stoic and unemotional.Mental differences between men and women are lessclear-cut. Some studies suggest that men are better at spatial tasks, while women are better at verbal tasks. However, these differences are not absolute, and there is a great deal of overlap between the sexes. It is also important to note that these differences may be influenced by cultural and environmental factors, such as education and upbringing.Gender differences can have both positive and negative effects. On the one hand, they can lead to greaterdiversity and complementarity in relationships and workplaces. On the other hand, they can also lead to stereotypes and discrimination. It is important to recognize and appreciate the differences between men andwomen while also promoting equality and respect for all individuals.In conclusion, gender differences are a complex and multifaceted topic. While there are observable differences between men and women, it is important to recognize that these differences are not absolute and may be influenced by social, cultural, and environmental factors. By promoting equality and respect for all individuals, we can create a more inclusive and harmonious society.。

Gender Differences: A Cross-CulturalPerspectiveGender differences have always been a topic of interest, with various studies and perspectives aiming to understand the nuances and complexities involved. Cultural backgrounds play a crucial role in shaping gender roles and expectations. In Western cultures, for instance, the traditional gender roles often depict men as strong, assertive, and leaders, while women are seen as nurturing, caring, and submissive. However, in Eastern cultures, the gender roles are often more fluid and interdependent, with both men and women expected to exhibit qualities of leadership, assertiveness, and nurturing.The workplace is one arena where gender differences are particularly evident. In some industries, such as technology, men tend to dominate the higher echelons of leadership. However, this is not to say that women are absent or unable to excel in these fields. In fact, studies have shown that companies with gender-diverse leadership teams tend to perform better. This highlights theimportance of fostering an inclusive culture that values diversity and promotes equal opportunities for both genders. Education systems also play a crucial role in shaping gender roles. While girls are often encouraged to pursue fields like humanities and social sciences, boys aresteered towards STEM subjects. However, this trend isslowly changing as more girls are encouraged to pursue STEM fields, and boys are being given the freedom to exploreother areas of interest.In conclusion, gender differences are complex and multifaceted, shaped by a combination of cultural, social, and biological factors. It is important to recognize these differences and work towards creating an inclusive society that values and respects the contributions of both genders. Only then can we truly achieve gender equality and unlockthe full potential of our society.**性别差异：跨文化视角**性别差异一直是人们感兴趣的话题，各种研究和观点都旨在理解其中所涉及的细微差别和复杂性。

英语作文男女差异Gender Differences。

Gender differences have been a topic of interest and debate for many years. It is widely recognized that men and women have distinct characteristics and behaviors that are influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. While some argue that these differences are innate, others believe that they are primarily shaped by societal expectations and norms. This essay will explore the various aspects of gender differences and their implications.One of the most prominent differences between men and women lies in their physical attributes. Men are generally taller and stronger than women due to biological factors such as hormones and genetics. This physical advantage has historically led to men dominating certain fields such as sports and manual labor. However, it is important to note that this does not imply that women are inferior or incapable. Women have their own unique strengths andabilities, such as better endurance and flexibility.Another significant difference between men and women is their cognitive abilities. Research has shown that men tend to excel in certain areas such as spatial reasoning and mathematical skills, while women often perform better in verbal and emotional intelligence tasks. These differences may be influenced by both biological and environmental factors. For example, hormonal differences during prenatal development may affect brain structure and function, leading to variations in cognitive abilities.In addition to physical and cognitive disparities, men and women also exhibit divergent behavioral patterns. Men are often more assertive, competitive, and risk-taking, whereas women tend to be more nurturing, empathetic, and cooperative. These differences can be attributed to both biological and social factors. Evolutionary psychologists argue that these behavioral traits have evolved to fulfill specific gender roles. For instance, men historically engaged in hunting and protecting their families, which required assertiveness and risk-taking. On the other hand,women took on caregiving roles, requiring empathy and cooperation.Furthermore, gender differences are also reflected in career choices and occupational preferences. It is widely observed that men dominate fields such as engineering, technology, and finance, while women are more likely to pursue careers in education, healthcare, and social work. These disparities can be attributed to a variety of factors, including societal expectations, cultural norms, and personal interests. Despite efforts to promote gender equality in the workplace, certain gender biases and stereotypes continue to influence career choices.While it is important to acknowledge and understand gender differences, it is equally crucial to avoid generalizations and stereotypes. Each individual is unique and should not be limited or judged based on their gender. Society should strive to provide equal opportunities and eliminate gender biases in order to foster a more inclusive and egalitarian environment.In conclusion, gender differences exist in various aspects of life, including physical attributes, cognitive abilities, behavioral patterns, and career choices. These differences are shaped by a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. It is essential to recognize and appreciate these differences while promoting equality and challenging gender stereotypes. By doing so, we can create a more diverse and inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.。

Unit 3 Gender Differences新编大学英语第二版第四册教案

Unit 3 Gender DifferencesUseful Information“Gender differences” is a term used to refer to both biological and social characteristics that distinguish men and women. The social characteristics include such things as differences in hair styles, clothing, family responsibilities, occupational roles, acceptable behavior and other culturally learned activities and traits. All of these differences are linked to the non-biological notions of masculinity and femininity which vary from one culture to another.Sexual or physical differences are determined at birth. Females have two similar sex-determining chromosomes (XX), while males have two dissimilar sex-determining chromosomes (XY). Both sexes have male and female hormones, but the average man has about ten times as much testosterone as the average woman. Most scientists agree that these biological differences affect, at least to some extent, physical behavior and development. In other words, in most cultures men are bigger, stronger and more aggressive than women. Obviously, physical activity and social roles accentuate these biological differences. Heavy labor builds muscles and the responsibility of providing for a family reinforces the natural aggression of men in any society. The child-raising activities of women, on the other hand, reinforce their gentle and nurturant behavior. However we do recognize that women are capable of highly muscled bodies, as is evident in some women athletes.Many of the traditional stereotypes associated with women were questioned by the feminist movement that began in the West in the early 1960s. This movement (also known as the women’s liberation movement) favored increased rights and activities for women throughout society. Feminists stressed that it was not primarily biology that determined women’s roles and status in society, but social prejudices. According to the feminists, women were usually socialized and educated differently from men because it was assumed that women were physically and intellectually inferior.The theories and analyses that came out of the women’s movement sparked innumerable studies on educational and employment practices. These studies revealed the sexist biases (prejudice or discrimination on the basis of sex) of teachers, employers, schools, universities, textbooks, laws, and other official documents. It was shown that the way girls are treated in the home and in school plays a major role in reinforcing stereotypes. It was demonstrated that if treated similarly, boys and girls have the same potential and can accomplish similar goals.Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, efforts were made to reduce sexist attitudes in educational systems and in the workplace. Girls were encouraged to study medicine, law, mathematics, engineering, etc. and to follow careers normally associated with men. Laws were passed prohibiting sexist discrimination in hiring practices in order to give women equal job opportunities.The impact of the feminist movement was felt even at the level of everyday language. Since the 1960s, the English language has evolved considerably in order to be more inclusive of women. New words have been invented and pronouns are used differently. Virtually every grammar book published since the late 1970s has a section on avoiding sexist language and sexist pronoun use. Various ways are now used to avoid inequality of the sexes, such as: 1) A person should insist that his/her rights be respected; 2) People should see that their employer treats all employees equally; 3) Everyone received their share of food; 4) The chairperson of the department insisted on nonsexist language in all publications.Despite social reforms and changing attitudes, there are still many unanswered questions regarding gender differences. Do women feel compelled to act more like men in order to overcome stereotypes? Can or should men and women ever be truly equal in any society?Part One PREPARATION1.

As far as I know, most boy students in China do better in math and science. It is fully demonstrated by the number of boy students who have won prizes in the Olympic Science Contests and by the ratio of boy students to girl students in science departments in colleges and universities.—I don’t think I can answer the question by a simple “yes” or “no”.With more girls receiving higher education and going to graduate school, it won’t be difficult to find girls who are really good in math and science courses. As we can see in our university, there are quite a few female math professors and also female professors specialized in science and engineering. Besides, many boys are found to have developed excellent l anguage and reading skills. However it’s true that science and engineering departments have more boy students while departments of humanities have more girls. Anyway if we look at and compare the current numbers of boys and girls in these departments with the numbers in the past, we can find the trend is changing.2) Chinese culture also has stereotyped gender roles. Boys and girls are taught and expected to behave differently from each other both at home and at school. If they don’tfit into the traditional gender mold, girls are said to be like boys and boys like girls. The following are the ways that culture or education affects gender roles.—Boys and girls are provided with different kinds of toys to play with: dolls and pretty things are for girls while toy cars and guns are for boys.—Boys are expected to play outdoors and girls, in most cases, indoors.—Girls are expected to be clean and neat, and well dressed and boys should be strong and tough, and can deal with difficulties.—Males, especially in the country, are expected to be better educated than females and they should be more career-oriented to support the family and females are expected to support their husbands. There’s an old saying “having no skills and intelligence is a good virtue of women”.—Women are expected to be quiet and shy while men are expected to be powerful and more aggressive.—Women are expected to take good care of their children and do most of the housework while men are expected to be successful in their careers.—Women are expected to go home immediately after work while men may get back late in the evening after having dinner with their friends or colleagues.Vocabulary1) genetic 2) assign 3) noticeably 4) approved 5) Bias6) deprived 7) constituted 8) participation 9) unintentional 10) postgraduate2. conscious – unconscious positive – negativeencourage – discourage superior – inferiordirectly – indirectly biased – fairsexist –nonsexist limited – unlimiteddependent – independent appropriately – inappropriately3. 1) C 2) D 3) A 4) E 5) B 6) C 7) F 8) B4. 1) turn out 2) carry over 3) calling on 4) put away 5) fallen behind 6) take overPart Three FURTHER DEVELOPMENTEnriching Your Word Power1) B 2) C 3) B 4) A 5) C 6) B 7) B 8) B 9) C 10) B 11) C 12) A2.

Characteristics of Men or Women at WorkDirections: Below are various characteristics of men or women at work identified by a British consultancy which runs courses on women and men at work. Work in pairs to decide whether you think the features below describe men or women at work (choose M or W in the column on the right).Characteristics Identified at Work M/W1) Their body language tends to be challenging. They often sit withlegs splayed apart, giving the impression of being in control.2) Their body language inclines towards self-protection.

Gender difference is not the excuse of sexdiscriminationLawrence Summers, Harvard University President,was being criticized for saying that women lack the "natural ability" to do as well as men in science and engineering.When referring to gender difference and sex discrimination,I think physiological difference between femal and male should be objectively recognized,but the right and ability on pursuit of knowledge are coordinate.In a keynote speech at a conference on diversity, Summers hypothesized that the shortage of women in certain disciplines could be explained by innate differences in mathematical abili ty. In my opinion, I don’t think gender was relevant to any career aspirations, but having so many options may be why women are underrepresented in fields like science and math. Women,I think, tend to have a broader array of career options than men.So women perform about the same as men in math classes, but are still less likely than men to seek a career in science, technology, engineering or math.Also, study suggests the reason may be a lack of role models, resulting in females in the field feeling like they don't belong.Undoubly,there are many differences between men and women,and furtherstudy of the major resons of the representation of women among science and engineering faculty are needed.However, sex discrimination is absolutely wrong. To conclude, do so-called differences in mathematical ability matter at all? The debate on the issue has so far missed the central point: scientists are made, not born.At every level of the scientific enterprise, from grade school through grad school and beyond, our society is failing to make as many women scientists as it could—perhaps because we are too mesmerized by the idea that scientists have to be born.。

Introduction:Gender differences refer to the distinctions between males and females in terms of their physical, psychological, and social characteristics. These differences have been a topic of interest and debate for many years. While some argue that gender differences are mainly the result of socialization and cultural expectations, others believethat biological factors also play a significant role. Inthis essay, we will explore the various aspects of gender differences and their impact on individuals and society.Body:1. Physical Differences:Biological characteristics: Males typically have alarger body size, more muscle mass, and greater physical strength compared to females. This can be attributed to the influence of hormones such as testosterone.Reproductive functions: Females have the ability to bear children and experience menstruation, while males do not possess these reproductive capabilities.Health disparities: Research has shown that males and females may have different susceptibilities to certain diseases and conditions. For instance, females are more prone to autoimmune disorders, while males are more likely to develop cardiovascular diseases.2. Psychological Differences:Cognitive abilities: Studies have indicated that males and females may have different cognitive strengths. For example, males tend to perform better in spatial tasks, while females excel in verbal abilities.Emotional expression: Females generally expressemotions more openly and are more empathetic, whereas males tend to suppress emotions and exhibit less empathy.Risk-taking behavior: Research suggests that males are more inclined to engage in risky behavior, such as extreme sports or reckless driving, compared to females.3. Social Differences:Gender roles: Societal expectations and cultural norms often dictate specific roles for males and females. For instance, women are often expected to be nurturing and caring, while men are expected to be assertive and competitive.Occupational segregation: Certain industries and professions are dominated by one gender. For example, nursing and teaching are predominantly female occupations, while engineering and technology fields are predominantly male.Wage gap: Despite advancements in gender equality, asignificant wage gap still exists between males and females. On average, women earn less than men for doing the same job.Conclusion:Gender differences encompass a wide range of aspects, including physical, psychological, and social characteristics. While some differences may be attributedto biological factors, others are shaped by societal expectations and cultural norms. It is important to recognize and appreciate these differences, while also striving for gender equality and challenging stereotypes.By promoting inclusivity and equal opportunities, we can create a society that values and respects individuals regardless of their gender.。

Gender differences have been a topic of interest and debate for centuries. Whether it's in the workplace, in relationships, or in social settings, there are clear distinctions between men and women that can be observed. These differences can be attributed to a variety of factors, including biology, socialization, and cultural norms. Inthis article, we will explore some of the key differences between men and women and how they manifest in various aspects of life.Biological Differences。

One of the most fundamental differences between men and women is their biological makeup. From a young age, boysand girls are exposed to different hormonal influences that shape their physical and psychological development. For example, the presence of testosterone in males and estrogenin females leads to differences in muscle mass, body fat distribution, and reproductive systems. These biological disparities can influence behavior, cognition, and emotional responses in men and women.Cognitive Differences。

男女差别英语作文Gender Differences。

Gender differences have always been a fascinating topic of discussion. They are deeply ingrained in our society, culture, and biology, shaping our perceptions, behaviors, and interactions. However, it is important to note that these differences are not absolute, as individuals within each gender exhibit a wide range of variability.One of the most apparent gender differences lies in physical attributes. Biologically, men and women differ in terms of body structure, reproductive organs, and hormonal balances. These differences contribute to various physical traits and abilities, such as muscle mass, strength, endurance, and even voice pitch. For instance, men tend to have more muscle mass and strength, while women have a higher percentage of body fat and are often more flexible. However, these differences should not be used to judge the capabilities or worth of either gender.In terms of psychological differences, men and women also exhibit distinct tendencies. For example, studies have shown that women tend to have a more developed sense of empathy and are better at reading emotions. This is likely due to hormonal and neurological factors that influence brain development and function. On the other hand, men tend to excel in tasks that require spatial reasoning and systematic analysis。
