The document discusses the development and deconstruction of traditional gender roles in society. It argues that gender roles originated from the physical differences between men and women but became exaggerated over time, limiting half the population. As agriculture reduced the need for women's work and religion began discriminating against women, their societal role decreased. While gender roles have improved significantly over the centuries, tensions still exist and the document advocates for treating all people as equals.

Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, responsibilities, identities, and expectations assigned to men and women by society, as opposed to sex which refers to biological and physiological differences. Gender is influenced by social and cultural factors rather than biology alone. Sociological perspectives on gender include functionalism, which views traditional gender roles as serving important social functions, and feminism, which argues that patriarchal societies promote gender inequality that benefits men over women. Evidence from different cultures demonstrates that gender roles vary significantly across societies and over time, supporting the view that gender is socially constructed rather than innate.
Radical feminism
Marxist theory views capitalism as the basis for women's oppression. Under capitalism, men comprise the bourgeoisie class that owns the means of production, while women make up the proletariat class that must sell their labor. New forms of production allowed men to gain wealth and power, leading to the establishment of monogamous marriage and the patriarchal family structure. Marxist feminism argues that capitalism is the primary cause of women's oppression and aims to reform or abolish capitalism. Radical feminist theory views patriarchy and male domination of social roles and institutions as the fundamental cause of women's oppression. Radical feminists seek to completely eliminate patriarchy by transforming society and traditional gender roles.
Sociological perspectives of gender
1. The document discusses sociological and psychological perspectives on gender. It outlines four sociological theories - functionalist, conflict, symbolic interaction, and feminist theory - that seek to explain how gender roles emerge and are influenced by society and social interactions.
2. It also examines psychological theories like evolutionary theory, biosocial theory, social learning theory, and gender schema theory that analyze how biological and environmental factors shape gender identity development and influence behavior.
3. Overall, the document analyzes how both social and psychological factors contribute to the social construction of gender and influence people's understanding and expression of their gender.
feminist theories lecture.ppt
The document discusses various theoretical perspectives on feminism. It begins by defining feminism as a movement aimed at establishing equal rights and legal protection for women. It then outlines several waves and theories of feminism, including radical feminism, liberal feminism, socialist feminism, cultural feminism, and eco-feminism. For each theory, it provides details on their core beliefs and aims, such as challenging patriarchy, promoting legislation for equality, or valuing feminine qualities. The document concludes by discussing feminism's influence on the field of social work.
Gender role
1) Gender roles are behavioral and social norms that associate certain behaviors with particular sexes in a society. Traditionally, masculinity was viewed as powerful and in control while femininity was nurturing and relationship-focused.
2) In the past, gender roles were more strictly divided, with men as breadwinners and women as homemakers. Now, roles are less rigid as more women enter the workforce in a variety of fields.
3) However, gender discrimination and stereotyping still exist and negatively impact human resource practices and employee performance if not properly addressed. HR managers have a role in developing equitable workplace policies.
gender as a social construct
This document discusses the social construction of gender. It argues that gender roles are created by society and culture, rather than biology alone. Gender socialization occurs through various institutions like family, media, school, and religion. Gender-based harassment in schools polices gender boundaries and links masculinity to bullying. Depression rates may also differ between boys and girls in high school due to academic and social pressures as well as biological changes. Adolescents' views of adulthood can be constrained by gender expectations. Body image is affected by multiple social factors during puberty. Finally, teachers' own gender biases can impact their perceptions of students' abilities in math and other subjects.

How gender roles are constructed by society by giving different identity of masculinity and feminity.
Religion and gender.pptx
1. Women generally exhibit higher levels of religiosity than men according to surveys. This is referred to as the "feminization of religion".
2. Explanations for this gender difference include women having a lower tolerance for risk, and socialization in patriarchal households leading women to be more religious.
3. Many religions have historically supported gender inequality and associated women with notions like sinfulness. However, Jesus treated women more positively. Debates over practices like the hijab often relate more to power and culture than religion.

This is the presentation which was presented in PPT CONTEST on TCP PRESENTO 2020 organized by Thiagarajar College of Preceptors, Madurai.
Radical Feminism: Its Pros and Cons
It is a short study done by Rajendra Ojha , Graduate Student of International Relation. This study is taken focusing past, present and future ( likely to be ) scenario of radical feminism and Patriarchy Society.
Masculinity Presentation
This document discusses masculinity and "lad culture" among young men. It begins by defining masculinity and exploring concepts like hegemonic masculinity. It then examines the history and characteristics of "lad culture", including its roots in Paul Willis' study of working class youth in the 1970s and its spread through lads' magazines and social media. The document also looks at expressions of lad culture in high school and university settings and debates both sides of whether lad culture should be curtailed or is a valid way for males to express themselves.
Social Reproduction Theory and Cultural & Social Capital
This presentation outlines Social Reproduction Theory, which asserts that schools reproduce the social inequities, especially in terms of socioeconomic class and race, that exist in the larger society. In addition, it addresses the concepts of social and cultural capital arguing that culture and education are central in the affirmation of differences between social classes and in the reproduction of those differences.
Conflict Theory
This document discusses several sociological theories:
- Marx's conflict theory focuses on class struggle between the bourgeoisie and proletariat, with the ruling class justifying exploitation through false consciousness. Revolution would arise from class consciousness.
- Weber believed religion allowed capitalism to emerge, with Protestants valuing hard work. Conflict theory views conflict as natural due to competition over scarce resources. Schools legitimize inequalities.
- Social reconstructionism aims to create a better society through education emphasizing social reform. Freire saw education as a means for oppressed groups to resist oppression through critical thinking.
Functionalism
Functionalism views society as a structure of interconnected parts that work together for the benefit of the whole, similar to the human body or a clock. Key institutions like law, education, and religion serve important functions in maintaining social order and enforcing shared norms and values. Functionalists argue these institutions allow for social stability and change by socializing individuals, dividing labor, and discouraging deviant behavior. Early functionalist theorists like Evans-Pritchard and Firth studied non-Western societies and distinguished between social structure and social organization.
Gender Inequality
This document discusses gender inequality across several domains. It defines gender inequality and outlines 4 themes of feminist theories about its causes. Namely, that inequality results from social organization rather than biology, and that greater equality could be achieved through more egalitarian social structures. It also discusses gender and power dynamics, noting that women and children are often in disadvantaged positions due to factors like physical strength differences and objectification. Finally, it discusses the importance of education for development goals and economic standards, but also notes that schools can reinforce gender roles.
PATRIARCHY
Patriarchy refers to a social system where men hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege, and control of property. It is derived from the Greek words "patria" meaning father and "arkhos" meaning rule, referring to rule by the father. In a patriarchal system, men make all family and societal decisions, hold all positions of power and authority, and are viewed as superior. Property and titles are inherited through the male lineage. Patriarchal societies emphasize different roles and values for male and female children and historically focus more on male figures in areas like education, politics, and history.
Gender in Global Perspective
The document discusses sociological perspectives on gender, including functionalism, conflict theory, and feminist theory. It summarizes research by Margaret Mead and George Murdock on gender roles in different cultures. It also outlines different types of feminism such as liberal, socialist, and radical feminism and how they view patriarchy and gender stratification in society. Symbolic interactionism holds that gender roles exist because people derive meanings about each other through social interaction.
Pakistani women and their political empowerment
Pakistani women face many barriers to political empowerment and participation. Culturally, women have a secondary status to men and are largely restricted to domestic spheres. Politically, women make up only a small percentage of seats in national parliaments globally and in Pakistan. Multiple interconnected factors influence women's participation, including economic conditions, education levels, domestic responsibilities, lack of political experience and training, gender norms restricting mobility and decision-making, and patriarchal traditions viewing politics as unsuitable for women. Prior experience, education, resources, and ambition can help women gain political power, but masculine political cultures within parties also constrain women's equal status and opportunities.
SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES OF GENDER INEQUALITY
This document discusses sociological perspectives on gender inequality. It begins by differentiating between the concepts of sex and gender, noting that sex refers to biological attributes while gender refers to social and cultural roles and expectations. It then examines the process of gender socialization through key socializing agents like family, education, peers and media. Finally, it explores several sociological theories that seek to explain the origins and persistence of gender inequality in areas like the workplace, family roles, politics, health and violence. The document aims to provide an overview of sociological understandings of gender as a social construct and the social forces that contribute to gender inequality.
Socialization
1. Socialization is the lifelong process through which individuals acquire identities and skills needed to function in society. It occurs through social interaction and differs across cultures.
2. Major agents of socialization include family, schools, peers, and mass media. They socialize individuals on norms, values, and roles according to factors like gender and race.
3. Socialization is a continuous process that occurs throughout the life stages of infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood as individuals take on new social roles and statuses. Resocialization may occur voluntarily or involuntarily.

Gender inequality & development
This document discusses gender inequality and development approaches over time. It covers topics such as:
1) The human development approach focuses on improving quality of life through health, education, and standard of living. Economic growth alone does not guarantee development.
2) Early approaches included trickle-down theory and growth with social justice. Recent approaches include human development, gender and development, and women's empowerment.
3) Gender inequalities exist due to discrimination and social norms. Reducing inequalities requires conventions, economic and legal reforms, and women's empowerment and agency.
The Social Construction of Gender
The document discusses the social construction of gender. It argues that gender is not determined by biology or genetics, but is constantly created and re-created through human social interaction. Gender roles and expectations are legitimized by societal institutions and enforced through informal social sanctions as well as formal punishment. The social construction of gender creates inequality that benefits men as a group and subordinates women as a group.
Gender inequality
Gender inequality has been a prevalent issue in India. Historically, women have faced discrimination through practices like dowry, sati system, and purdah system which lowered their social status over time. Today, gender inequality manifests in various forms like higher female mortality and sex-selective abortions, lack of equal rights to property, employment and education opportunities. Social and cultural factors like patriarchal norms, son preference, and women's traditional roles in the family have perpetuated inequality. While laws have aimed to promote equality, implementation remains a challenge and gender disparities persist in many areas of health, education, employment and political representation in India.

Hegemonic masculinity
This document provides an overview and schedule for a module on contemporary understandings of masculinity, men, and male sexuality. It discusses theories of masculine socialization, hegemonic masculinity, and how definitions of masculinity and male sexuality are changing. Small group activities are included to discuss these topics in local contexts and analyze how images objectify men. The goal is to understand shifting constructions of masculinity and their impacts on men.
Social stratification and education
This presentation discusses the relationship between education and social stratification. It begins with introducing the topics of education, social stratification, and how education affects child development. It then examines how education can enable social mobility but also potentially create inequalities. The major sociological perspectives on how education relates to stratification are also summarized, including functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. In conclusion, while education can reduce inequalities, it also sometimes contributes to social stratification depending on the context.
Max Weber's theory of social stratification
Max Weber's theory of social stratification analyzed how social class, status, and political power interacted to determine people's life chances. Weber argued that social class was based on economic interests and wealth, while status groups were communities linked by shared lifestyles and prestige. Weber also identified three ideal types of authority: traditional authority based on longstanding tradition, charismatic authority based on personal attributes, and legal-rational authority based on bureaucratic rules and procedures. Overall, Weber emphasized analyzing stratification through multiple, interrelated factors beyond just economic class like Marx had.
Deconstruction ppt
This document discusses the concept of deconstruction. It outlines four conceptions of meaning - idealist, humanist, structuralist, and post-structuralist/deconstructionist. Deconstruction decentralizes meaning-making systems by exposing how they posit a privileged center or origin of meaning. It observes that all signifying systems operate through binary oppositions where one term is favored over the other. The goal of deconstruction is to dissolve these hierarchical oppositions and reveal the instability of truth claims based on the privileged terms.
Social construction of gender
Gender is a social construct that defines social relationship between men and women. Women belong to the feminine gender because during the process of growing up, certain culturally constructed feminine traits are inculcated into them, right from the birth.

GENDER AS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT
The document discusses gender as a social construct and how it relates to educational practice. It explains that gender roles are cultural expectations about appropriate behavior for males and females. Gender bias arises from patriarchal societies that view men as dominant. Educational practices should promote equal access for all genders and prevent gender-based violence through approaches like human rights education and teaching respectful relationships. The goal is to address how social constructions of gender can influence education.
Deconstruction
Deconstruction is a strategy for analyzing texts developed by Jacques Derrida that focuses on ambiguities and contradictions in language. It originated from thinkers like Rene Descartes and Fredrick Nietzsche who questioned the objective truth of language. Structuralism, which sought to understand how language systems work, preceded deconstruction. Ferdinand de Saussure's study of language introduced concepts like the signifier/signified and langue/parole that deconstruction examines. Deconstruction analyzes binary oppositions in texts and seeks to reverse the relationship between dominant and non-dominant elements.
Gender presentation
This document provides information about sex, gender, gender identity and expression. It discusses the differences and relationships between sex assigned at birth based on biological attributes versus gender identity. It also addresses transgender experiences and the process of transitioning socially and medically. Intersex identities are also noted. Myths and stereotypes about transgender people are presented and rebutted. Respect for personal gender identity and avoidance of invasive personal questions are emphasized.
Literary Criticism: Deconstruction
This document provides an overview of deconstruction as a literary theory. It discusses how deconstruction questions the objective truth of language and focuses on ambiguities in meaning. The founder, Jacques Derrida, viewed it as a strategy for reading that looks at what is not present in a text. Deconstruction analyzes binary oppositions and aims to give privilege to the non-dominant part. It has been criticized for making literature seem like "word play" and obscuring meaning.

Gender and racial ethnic socialization
Gender and racial-ethnic socialization involve specific messages and practices taught to children regarding their gender or racial identities. Gender socialization teaches children what behaviors and roles are appropriate for their sex. Racial socialization includes direct statements and modeling of behaviors related to one's racial or ethnic group. Both processes are important throughout life, with socialization occurring in families, communities, and workplaces. Socialization helps shape personal and social identities from childhood through adulthood.
Aztec Social Structure
Aztec society was highly structured and based on agriculture, trade, and religion. It was dominated by the nobility class and priests who performed human sacrifices atop pyramid temples to please the gods. Society consisted of three main social classes - the nobility and priests at the top, commoners in the middle, and slaves at the bottom. Gender roles were also clearly defined, with men involved in physical labor and warfare while women focused on domestic duties. Education was available to all classes and emphasized religious rituals, history, and skills appropriate to each gender.

Gender sensitivity
This document discusses gender sensitivity and how to promote it in education. It defines sex and gender, noting that gender is socially and culturally determined while sex is biological. Gender sensitivity means gender awareness and showing how gender shapes roles in society. It provides recommendations for promoting gender sensitivity, including training teachers and officials, developing gender-sensitive curricula and guidelines, addressing gender in policies and organizations, and strengthening partnerships between schools and parents. Teachers should understand gender roles, attend training, promote gender-responsive schools, conduct research, and treat all students equally to help address issues of gender sensitivity in education.
Gender discrimination india ppt
The document summarizes various forms of discrimination and exploitation faced by women in Indian society throughout history, from female infanticide and child marriage to domestic violence, dowry system, and sati practice. It discusses the patriarchal social structure and religious customs that promoted gender inequality and treated women as inferior. The presentation aims to highlight how women have been oppressed in areas like inheritance, mobility, and work and calls for contributions to uplift women's status and bring happiness in their lives.
Deconstruction: Literary Criticism
The document discusses Derrida's deconstructionist view of language. Some key points:
1) Deconstruction holds that language is ambiguous and unstable rather than a clear tool of communication, as meanings can slip and change based on emphasis, tone, and context.
2) The meanings of words and phrases are not fixed but rather fluid and dynamic, with any signifier able to reference multiple signifieds.
3) For deconstruction, literature similarly consists of overlapping and conflicting meanings that are undecidable, as different readers will derive various interpretations from a text.

Beyond Economics: Women Negotiating Trauma, Violence, and Assimilation as Ref...
South Africa has been a leading country in ratifying laws and policies to address the unique experience a female refugee has in comparison to males. However, despite South African refugee regimes’ efforts to increase awareness, bring gender equality within its refugee laws, and provide resources to the female refugee population there are still components to a female refugee’s experience in assimilating to their new country that need greater attention. This paper addresses the lack of emotional and psychological support given to female refugees. Through the combination of ethnographic research conducted at one of major refugee regimes in South Africa, the Cape Town Refugee Center, and in depth interviews with female refugees, the idea that a refugee regime such as the CTRC is providing a comprehensive approach to aiding the refugee population was directly challenged. In this work five women who embody and represent the experience of many female refugees in South Africa, tell their story about what life has been like navigating their past and current emotional and psychological traumas as a female refugee trying to integrate into their society. In this work another facet in helping an extremely vulnerable population—female refugees—is being introduced as a means to ensure a more successful integration. If this can be done than these women are capable of becoming an asset to their new communities versus a burden to the economy and society of their host country. In a world that continues to have increased instability and an ever-growing refugee population the issue of how to properly and successfully absorb refugees is key to any country’s success. In this work the research addresses the great importance of refugee regimes allocation more resources to helping women refugees work through the immense amount of physical, sexual, psychological, and emotional traumas that they have endured.

Gender roles in_latvian_society
This document summarizes a study on gender roles and equality in Latvia. It finds that traditionally, women take on more household responsibilities like cleaning, cooking and childcare while men are responsible for tasks like farming and providing for the family. However, attitudes are changing as more women take on professional careers and single mothers must take on all family responsibilities. The document also examines gender roles and expectations in families, schools and government. It concludes that while traditional gender roles exist, being different does not mean being unequal and that an ideal society achieves harmony without discrimination.

SociologyExchange.co.uk Shared Resource
This document discusses changing family patterns in the UK, specifically increasing divorce rates. It provides statistics showing that divorce has increased dramatically since the 1960s. It examines several explanations for this change, including changes in divorce laws that made divorce easier and more accessible, declining social stigma around divorce, secularization reducing the influence of religion, rising expectations of marriage being based on love and personal fulfillment, and improvements in women's social and economic position reducing their dependence on husbands.

Gender sensitivity
1) Most societies are patriarchal, where men are primarily responsible for the family and hold positions of power.
2) In patriarchal societies, women are economically dependent on men and have reduced status and decision-making power. They also face discrimination like lower pay and barriers to career advancement.
3) Gender sensitivity involves recognizing that gender is a social construct and treating people equally regardless of gender. It is important for individuals and organizations to adopt non-discriminatory attitudes and policies.
