CULTURE AND GENDER ROLE DIFFERENCES

In this course we will examine the relationship between culture and gender, culturally related beliefs, expectation and ideology for the role of gender, gender of various forms, socialization of gender, and relationship between men and women. While explaining gender difference and its reproduction, focused on the power relationship between the two men and women, an important culturally sensitive theory was introduced. M. Ryan, - N.

Margaret Mead (1935) is one of the first anthropologists to study cultural differences by sex. In New Guinea, she discovered three tribes - Arapesh, Mundugumor and Tchambuli - their gender roles are very different. Both men and women are gentle and nourish in Arrapes. Both women and men spend a lot of time with their children and can show you in a loving way what we usually call maternal behavior. However, in Arrakesh, the role by sex is different, in fact, both males and females are consistent with those commonly referred to by female sexual roles by Americans.

Gender social construction is the concept of gender and gender work in society in feminism and sociology. According to this view, society and culture create gender roles defined as ideal or appropriate behavior of people of a particular gender. The roots of social constructivism movement in psychology are related to the criticism of objectiveism assumed by the concept of positivism / empirical knowledge (Gergen, 1985). The most common variant of social constructivism is the gender role theory, Alsop, Fitzsimons, and Lennon (2002) believe it is an early social constitutionalism. Concerns about power and hierarchy reveal inspiration from the Marxist framework like Foucault's work on the use of materialistic feminism and discourse
