This document discusses altruism and gender roles. It defines altruism as concern for the welfare of others, which is a virtue in many cultures and religions. Altruism is distinguished from feelings of duty and can involve sacrificing something without expectation of reward. There is debate around whether true altruism is possible. The document also discusses gender roles, defining gender as social roles rather than biological. It states that gender roles are distinct in each society, with children socialized into expected roles for adult women and men. Those who violate traditional gender roles may be regarded negatively.

1. ALTRUISM AND SEX
ROLES

2. ALTRUISM
Is a concern for the welfare of
others. It is a traditional virtue in
many cultures, and a core aspect of
various
religious
traditions, through the concept of
others toward whom concern
should be directed can vary among
cultures and religious. Altruism is
the opposite of selfishness.

3.  Altruism
can be distinguished from
feelings of duty and loyalty. Altruism
is a motivation to provide something
of value to a party who must be
anyone but oneself, while duty
focuses on a moral obligation
towards a specific individual
or
collective. Pure altruism consists of
sacrificing something for someone
other than the self with no
expectation of any compensation or
benefits, either direct or indirect .

4.  Match
debate exists as to whether true
altruism is possible. Arguably, the act of
sharing, helping or sacrificing may be
primarily motivated by the gratification it
returns. This seems to assume a different
understanding of benefits, through, from
the traditionally assumed
meanings
(which are external-recognition from
others, reciprocation etc.- rather than
internal), making this a problematic
argument.

5. The
term altruism may also
refer to an ethical doctrine
that claims that individuals
are morally
obliged to
benefit others. Used in this
sense, it is the opposite of
egoism.

10. GENDER
ROLES

11. The Philippine bill defines gender as “
the
socially
differentiated
roles,
characteristics,
and
expectations attributed by cultures to
women and men” – in other
words, “gender” is a fluid, purely
social construct, and not rooted in the
biological complementariness of the
two sexes.

12. Gender roles are distinct in any
society. In each society, there are
definitions of what women and men
of that society are expected to do in
their adult life. Children are
socialized to internalise these roles.
Girls and boys are prepared for their
different but specific roles.

13. Most times when a man is seen
doing women’s tasks, other
members of society regard him
as a coward, docile, or stupid.
When a woman does what is
presumed a man’s task, such a
woman is regarded as too tough
or being “more than a woman”.
