 We widely accepted societal expectations
about how males and females should
behave.
 Gender roles are cultural and personal.

should think, speak, dress, and interact
within the context of society. Learning
plays a role in this process of
shaping gender roles.

about the gender attributes, differences, and roles of
individuals or groups. Stereotypes can be positive or
negative.

marry and have children.

provider.

progress.
