Post 10: Becoming Members of Society: Learning the Social Meanings of Gender By: Aaron H. Devor

The article by Aaron H. Devor explains how society affects our stereotypes about gender. Devor first explained how sexual identity began at a very young age between 18 months and 2 years. After that, the children gradually understand which specific gender group they belong to. Depending on the culture, we have different perceptions of how each gender is perceived, so we also depend on the culture of our children. Society plays an important role in the definition of masculinity and femininity. Because children accept the values ​​of the surroundings. Therefore, children try to comply with the gender identity established by society. Characteristics of men and women are generally considered opposite to each other. Male attributes include competitiveness, enthusiasm, and territory. On the other hand, women are maternal, caring and sensitive. Gender identity can also be seen in their body attitudes and personal goals through personal speech. These behaviors are clearly related to society and their perception of these sex roles.

I absolutely agree that Devor believes that society forms individuals' way of understanding sex. American society found that women are not necessarily attributes of human relations. More and more women are seen as winners of larger breads among the head of the company and family. Men play a father at home and prove that caring for children is as good as well. However, in the 1950s American society did not necessarily accept these same examples. Our society has become more open and more open to the role of gender than simply restricting specific traits and tackling specific gender. Each generation also plays an important role in the open social attitude towards gender issues. Americans are becoming more proficient in accepting homosexuals and transgender people. I hope that gender discrimination will disappear. Generally, I really like to read this article, and how insightful it is.

Aaron H. Devor believes that gender is culturally defined in his book "Becoming a member of society: social significance of learning gender". He said that as we grow we can lead social clues to play us a role of male or female. Since roles and occupations are different depending on gender, its role is not considered as a standard. He said that we can help our playing toys play our part even in our childhood. Individuals and the general society also play a role in helping us to play the role of gender. We associate the feeling of "self". It is the intersection of the individual "I" and the public "I".

To become a member of society: Learn the social significance of men and women: We are walking life Aaron H. Devor talks about the role of men and women, society has different men and women performance and compensation Requires us to admit or adhere to punishing us or peeling comes from social norms. When a child or a later adult learns the rule of a society, they see themselves from what they have learned from the surrounding people. 384 "" Everyone is a man or a woman.
