This document discusses theories of gender development and gender inequality. It outlines three main theories of gender development: social learning theory, which posits that parents reinforce gender roles; cognitive-developmental theory, which describes stages of acquiring gender roles from birth through adolescence; and gender schema theory, which involves learning gender identity through mental frameworks. The document also discusses gender as a social construct versus sex as biological, gender stereotyping and ideologies like traditional and egalitarian views. It frames gender inequality as rooted in how societies are organized and the unequal distribution of power between men and women.
This document discusses gender and development. It defines gender as the socially constructed roles, behaviors and attributes assigned to men and women in a society. Development refers to qualitative changes that increase function and maturity. Several theories of gender development are presented, including social learning theory, cognitive development theory, and gender schema theory. Gender stereotypes are defined and examples are given. The concepts of gender equality, inequality, and power are explored. Examples of gender inequality such as freedom of marriage and discrimination in divorce rights are provided. The document concludes by noting the gap in education attainment between men and women in Bangladesh.
Transgender people are individuals whose gender identities do not correspond with their biological sex. Transgender is an umbrella term that includes people who identify as transsexual, transgender, transvestite, genderqueer or non-binary. Transgender people face many social and legal challenges including discrimination, lack of access to healthcare and education, and difficulty exercising basic civil and legal rights.

This document discusses gender roles and socialization within families. It states that families are the primary institution where gender roles are taught from a young age. It also outlines different family structures and notes that the nuclear family stereotype is a myth, as families come in many forms. The document explores various types of communication within families between parents and children, as well as couples, and how this socializes children's understanding of gender. It acknowledges more diverse and inclusive approaches to gender are emerging in families today.
The document discusses how gender is a social construct determined by culture and society, rather than a biological category. It defines gender as the sociological expectations, roles, behaviors, and identities assigned to men and women in a given culture. Gender construction begins at birth and is reinforced through parenting, work roles, and life experiences that shape one's feelings, skills, and ways of being to fit masculine or feminine norms. This socialization process constitutes how gender is socially constructed rather than flowing automatically from biological sex.
This document discusses gender education globally. It begins by defining the differences between gender and sex, with gender referring to socially constructed roles and sex referring to biological characteristics. It then discusses concepts like gender equality, gender roles, gender stereotypes, and gender differences. Several sections explore how global goals around education for all and reducing poverty have established frameworks for assessing gender equality in education internationally. Key indicators for measuring gender disparities in education are also presented.
This document discusses a lecture on gender as a social construct given by Syed Yousaf Shah at the Institute of Nursing at Dow University of Health Sciences.

This document provides an introduction to concepts related to gender identity, gender expression, and biological sex. It defines these terms and discusses their differences. It also addresses the prevalence of intersex individuals, myths and misconceptions, and theoretical considerations for counselors. Gender identity refers to one's internal gender, gender expression is one's outward presentation, and biological sex refers to physical characteristics. These do not always align. The document aims to educate on this topic which is important for multicultural counseling.
The document discusses gender differences in social behavior and their underlying sources. It notes that from birth, infants are classified as male or female and treated differently by society based on gender roles. It then outlines several key gender differences in areas like emotional expression, aggression, leadership evaluations, and friendships. These differences arise from both biological factors like prenatal hormone exposure as well as societal factors like gendered socialization and treatment from a young age.
The document discusses the concepts of gender, sex, and socialization. It traces the evolution of approaches to promoting gender equality from Women in Development (WID) to Gender and Development (GAD) to the current approach of Gender Mainstreaming (GM). WID focused on women's practical needs but reinforced stereotypes. GAD examined unequal power relations and gender relations but was difficult to implement. GM aims to institutionalize gender sensitivity by integrating a gender perspective into all policies from the start. However, effectively applying gender mainstreaming remains a challenge.
This document discusses gender equality and gender stereotypes. It begins by defining gender stereotypes as beliefs about the characteristics of males and females. Children learn some stereotypes at a young age, such as girls not being good at sports and boys being messy. It then discusses stereotypes regarding physical appearance, behavior, occupations, and personality traits.
The document defines gender equality as men and women having equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities without limitations from stereotypes or gender roles. It provides examples of areas where inequality is observed, such as in family, society, religion, and education. For instance, in education boys are often encouraged to study science while girls are pushed toward arts.
Finally, it discusses ways to promote gender
This document discusses gender issues and equality. It states that gender equality means that access to rights and opportunities is unaffected by gender, and that men and women should receive equal treatment and not be discriminated against based on gender. The World Bank is committed to making gender equality central to fighting poverty. Research shows that gender equality is important for reducing poverty. The Bank also believes that helping women and men become equal partners in development and giving them equal access to resources are important development objectives.
The document discusses various ways that societies distinguish members based on gender, age, wealth, religion, and location. It notes that traditional expectations place men in masculine roles as breadwinners and women in feminine roles focused on homekeeping. However, it also discusses how urban environments and increasing women's employment have challenged traditional gender roles. The document examines differences in how men and women are perceived and treated in society and the workplace.
The document discusses the social construction of gender and gender inequality. It defines sex as biological differences between males and females, while gender refers to the social and cultural roles assigned to each sex. Traditionally, men have had more access to privilege and power than women. The document examines how gender roles are socially constructed and reinforced through socialization and institutions. It also explores feminist perspectives on gender stratification and the theoretical analysis of the social sources of gender differences.

This document discusses gender development and inequality. It introduces gender as a social construct defining roles for men and women, as opposed to sex which is biological. It then outlines three theories of gender development - social learning theory, cognitive developmental theory, and gender schema theory. It defines gender stereotyping as beliefs about male and female characteristics. Gender equality is described as equal entitlements and opportunities for human development. Four themes of gender inequality are presented: men and women are situated unequally in society due to social organization rather than biology; no significant biological differences distinguish sexes; and inequality could be reduced with more egalitarian social structures. Gender refers to differing roles and power between men and women in society, with men generally holding more status, experience

It concludes by discussing steps that could be implemented to promote gender equality, such as education
This document discusses gender as a social and cultural construct rather than being based solely on sex. It defines gender studies as the analysis of gender discrimination and disadvantages faced by different genders, particularly women, in various fields in Pakistan. The aims of gender studies are to promote open-mindedness about issues faced by both genders and to provide equity and equality. Key areas of focus include problems faced by disadvantaged genders in formal paid labor sectors as well as informal domestic work, and how understanding gender can help address challenges for minorities, the disadvantaged, oppressed, impoverished, and victims of violence.
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 document discusses power relations in participatory needs assessments (PNAs). A PNA is a process that engages stakeholders to identify community needs. There are complex power dynamics between stakeholders due to differences in influence, resources, and access to decision making. Facilitators must ensure equitable participation, especially for marginalized groups. Methods like mapping and interviews can identify needs while promoting stakeholder engagement and empowerment. Attention to power imbalances is needed to create lasting, transformative change through participatory processes.
This document discusses gender and sex differences from multiple perspectives. It defines gender and sex, and notes there is a difference between the two. Gender roles are learned behaviors influenced by both nature and nurture. Studies show atypical gender roles in males are influenced more by environment, while atypical roles in females show more heritability. Children are rewarded for gender-typical behaviors starting at a young age. Homosexuality may be linked to left-handedness, older siblings, and gender atypical behaviors as a child. Treatment for gender identity disorder in children aims to address psychological issues without changing sexual identity.

This document discusses sex and gender from a cross-cultural anthropological perspective. It explores how gender roles vary across cultures and how biology interacts with cultural constructions of gender. Key topics covered include the cultural construction of gender, multiple gender identities in some native cultures, the gendered division of labor, and factors that influence gender stratification like gender ideologies. Examples from cultures such as the US, Mbuti, and Minangkabau are provided.
The document discusses human sexuality and gender roles. It notes that sexuality includes gender identity, roles, and orientation, and is a central part of human existence. Biological factors like sex and hormones influence gender development, while psychological and social factors also shape gender roles and stereotypes learned from a young age through family, peers, media and society.

Social Stratification: Class, Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and SexChristina Sookdeo
Defining social stratification and discussing it's most common divisions such as race, class, gender, ethnicity, and sex. Also looks at the impact each has on education.
1. Develop basic understanding and familiarity with key concepts- gender, gender bias, gender stereotype, empowerment, gender parity, equity, and equality, patriarchy and feminism;
2. Understand the gradual paradigm shift from women’ studies to gender studies and some important landmarks in connection with gender and education in the historical and contemporary period;
3. Learn about gender issues in school, curriculum, textual materials across disciplines, pedagogical processes and its intersection with class, caste, religion and region; and
4. Understand how gender, power and sexuality relate to education (in terms of access, curriculum and pedagogy).
Gender refers to the roles and responsibilities of men and women that are created in our families, our societies and our cultures. The concept of gender also includes the expectations held about the characteristics, aptitudes and likely behaviours of both women and men (femininity and masculinity). Gender roles and expectations are learned. They can change over time and they vary within and between cultures. Systems of social differentiation such as political status, class, ethnicity, physical and mental disability, age and more, modify gender roles. The concept of gender is vital because, applied to social analysis, it reveals how women’s subordination (or men’s domination) is socially constructed. As such, the subordination can be changed or ended. It is not biologically predetermined nor is it fixed forever.
This document provides information about gender awareness and development. It discusses key concepts like differentiating between sex and gender. Gender is socially constructed while sex is biological. It also discusses gender roles and stereotypes that arise from confusing sex and gender.

The document aims to equip participants with knowledge of gender concepts and their effects on women and society.
This document discusses the social construction of gender, sex, and sexuality. It defines key terms like sex, gender, gender identity, and sexuality. It explains that while sex refers to biological differences, gender and gender roles are socially constructed. It discusses gender socialization and the different roles, expectations, and levels of power afforded to different genders in micro, meso, and macro levels of society. It also examines theories of gender stratification like symbolic interactionism, structural functionalism, and feminist theory.
This document provides an introduction to key concepts related to gender, including:
- The differences between sex and gender, where sex is biological and gender is socio-cultural.
- Common gender roles, stereotypes, and the gendered division of labor within societies.
- Key gender concepts like gender discrimination, gender gaps, and strategic/practical gender needs.
- The importance of gender awareness and taking gender into account in planning and policy.
This document discusses concepts related to gender sensitivity and gender roles. It defines sex as biological attributes and gender as socially constructed roles and expectations of masculinity and femininity. Gender is a spectrum rather than a binary, and gender roles vary between societies. The text advocates for gender sensitivity by avoiding assumptions and using inclusive language. It provides examples of traditional gender roles and stereotypes, and how socialization through parenting and media reinforce these norms. The document also discusses concepts such as patriarchy, masculinity, and violence against women in the context of challenging gender discrimination and inequality.
Gender refers to the social and cultural roles, responsibilities, and expectations placed upon individuals based on their sex. It is a social construct that varies by culture and over time. Gender is distinct from sex, which refers to biological and physiological traits. Gender roles influence access to resources and health outcomes. When individuals do not conform to traditional gender norms, they often face stigma and discrimination negatively impacting their health.
This document was adopted from the Resource Center Team within the Office of Diversity & Inclusion of Amherst College as a guide to common, shared language around identity.
This project emerged out of a need to come to a common and shared understanding of language in order to foster opportunities for community building and effective communication within and across difference.
This is a list of carefully researched and thoughtfully discussed definitions for key diversity and inclusion terms. It is by no means a comprehensive list, but it is a good place for us to start. We understand that language around identity, privilege, oppression and inclusion is always changing, evolving and expanding.
If there is a term that you feel should be included here, or possibly redefined, please let us know. You can email The Office of Equity & Inclusion (OSEI), at osei@georgetown.edu.
Gender is a social construct that varies across cultures. In Tanzania, gender roles and expectations are significantly shaped by cultural and social norms. Through socialization processes like family, education, religion and media, boys and girls learn to conform to distinct gender roles that often perpetuate male dominance and female subordination. Some cultural practices that contribute to gender inequalities include son preference, restrictions on women's access to resources, and traditional practices like female genital mutilation that can endanger women's health and limit their opportunities. While certain cultural traditions have been oppressive towards women, positive elements can also be retained by reforming harmful aspects.
This document discusses gender sensitization and related topics. It begins by defining key terms like gender, sex, and gender roles. It explores how gender roles are socially constructed and can vary by culture. It then discusses topics like gender stereotypes, discrimination, mainstreaming gender for equality, and challenges like the gender wage gap. Violence against women and gender-based issues are also examined. The importance of gender sensitivity, women's empowerment and education are emphasized for promoting equitable societies.
This document defines and discusses sex, gender, and sexuality. Sex refers to biological characteristics typically categorized as male or female, though some are intersex. Gender involves social and cultural roles of masculinity and femininity. Sexuality encompasses sexual orientation, attraction, behaviors, and relationships. The document emphasizes that gender and sexuality exist on spectra rather than binaries, and promoting diversity and inclusion benefits society.
This document defines key concepts related to sexuality, gender, and sexual health. It discusses sexuality as encompassing biological, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions. Sexual rights are outlined, and a sexually healthy adult is described as someone who appreciates their body, develops meaningful relationships, and expresses sexuality throughout life while respecting others. Sexual orientation, identity, activity, and development across the lifespan are also addressed.
The document provides an overview of course content for a class on gender and youth in value chains. The course covers topics such as gender analysis frameworks, gender mainstreaming in value chain management, and related policy issues. Assessment will be based on continuous assessments (50%) and a final exam (50%). Key concepts discussed in Chapter 1 include the differences between gender and sex, gender roles and identities, and approaches to promoting women's development including Women in Development (WID), Women and Development (WAD), and Gender and Development (GAD).

Gender and Development
Research from around the world has shown that gender inequalities tends to slow down economic growth and make the rise from poverty more difficult.
This document discusses the concepts of gender, gender roles, and development. It defines key terms like gender, sex, and gender roles. The main points are:
1. Gender refers to the social and cultural construction of differences between men and women, including norms, behaviors and expectations. Sex refers to biological differences.
2. Gender roles and expectations are learned through socialization and can vary across cultures and over time. Gender is socially constructed while sex is biological.
3. Gender dynamics refer to relationships and interactions between men and women that are informed by socio-cultural ideas about gender and power relationships. Gender is constructed through these dynamics in society, schools, and other institutions.
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.
This document provides an overview of key topics in gender studies, including definitions of sex, gender, and sexual orientation. It discusses both biological and social constructionist perspectives on gender, as well as different feminist theories regarding gender inequality, including liberal, socialist/Marxist, and radical feminism. The core ideas of these feminist theories are outlined, such as their views on patriarchy, capitalism, and the role of the family in perpetuating women's subordination.

DevianceDeviance and Social Control
Deviance: behavior that does not conform with cultural norms or social standards
· Deviance depends on a person’s culture and subculture; deviant actions may not be considered deviant in a different place or time.
· For example, actions such as smoking indoors, playing loud music, or being nude in public can be considered deviant or not, depending on when and where they happen. Deviance and Crime: Formal and Informal Sanctions
Informal sanctions: forms of punishment for mild violations of social norms
· Examples of mild violations: cutting in line, eating with your fingers at a nice restaurant, texting during a film in a movie theater
· Examples of informal sanctions: nasty looks, rude comments, isolation from social groups
Formal sanctions: forms of punishment for serious violations of social norms that are written laws
· Examples of serious violations: murder, rape, theft, speeding
· Examples of sanctions: fines, jail time, criminal recordTheoretical Perspectives on Deviance
· Functionalist perspective
· A functional society needs deviance to reaffirm current social norms and to set boundaries for social control and morality.
· Conflict theorist perspective
· Deviance and crime are caused by social and economic factors created by a wealthy elite class of people in power who maintain the status quo in society, decide what is deviant, and determine who gets criminalized for deviant behavior.
· Symbolic interactionist perspective
· Deviance is behavior that is learned from social interactions with other people, either as a response to others’ reactions or by modeling their deviance.
Social Stratification
Social stratification: society’s way of categorizing people by socioeconomic status, ranked by tiers based on factors that reflect an unequal distribution of resources
· Sociologists recognize that social stratification is a society-wide system that makes inequalities apparent.
Class system: a way of describing the level of someone’s social standing based on their individual accomplishments and social factors
· Examples of class systems in the U.S.: lower, middle, and higher income
· Primary characteristics of each class serve as social boundaries between them.
· Socioeconomic status (SES) in a class system determines individuals’ life outcomes.
Wealth: the value of assets owned by a household
· Wealth enhances one’s life chances by creating opportunities and desired stature, command over labor and businesses, and the abil.
1) The document discusses a talk on gender sensitivity given by Mr. Ganga Narayan Jha. It defines key terms like gender, sex, and patriarchy.
2) It explores gender roles and stereotypes that societies impose on men and women. For example, women are often expected to perform domestic duties while men are expected to be breadwinners.
3) The document also addresses how to make society more gender sensitive by challenging stereotypes and ensuring equal opportunities for both men and women.
The document provides guidance for youth groups to reflect on who they are, what positive change they want to see, and how they will work together to achieve that change. It asks the groups to consider:
1) Their defining qualities or characteristics.
2) The positive changes they want in their local communities.
3) Concrete actions they will take together to encourage more youth involvement in their causes.
This document summarizes the key issues around climate change and disaster preparedness in the Asia-Pacific region. It notes that the number of natural disasters has increased dramatically since 1950, with 90% related to extreme weather. The poor are most vulnerable to disasters, as they suffer the greatest losses and have the lowest capacity to cope. Many countries in the Asia-Pacific lie in hazard-prone areas and experience frequent disasters like typhoons, floods, droughts, landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes. Disasters can severely impact development and leave lasting psychological impacts.
This document discusses addiction as a disease. It states that addiction affects not only the addict but their entire family. Addiction is described as a brain, spiritual, and emotional disease characterized by an overpowering need for mood-altering substances. The disease follows a predictable course and is chronic/permanent unless arrested through treatment. Recovery requires abstinence, personality change, and achieving support.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Editor's Notes
Marginalization (economic sphere) Not equal pay for work of equal value Women last hired, first fired No/little opportunities for career advancement (training available or accessible to men only) Work at home not given any economic value, not considered as work Work outside the home that are considered extension of their home roles are valued less Subordination (political sphere) Few women in decision-making (incl. At home) Glass ceiling for women – promotions slow, some leadership positions not for women - 10% women in most legislatures Politics too dirty for women – di masikmura ng women Gender Stereotyping “ kinakahon” – men’s place, role, work, dress, color, etc. not women’s place, role, dress, color, etc. From womb to tomb – malikot sa tiyan/baby boy, maganda ang nanay/baby girl – boy’s games & toys/girl’s games & toys Prevents women from full enjoyment of rights and expression of her talents Like the air we breath – oftentimes subtle so we are socialized into it without realizing it – defined by our songs, textbooks, church sermons, advertisements Multiple burden 8 hr. work outside the home – 8 hrs. housework required by defined gender roles – little time for rest & recreation Men not expected to do housework (some do housework, but only when they want to.e.g. pasikat sa friends na marunong magluto ng pasta) Violence against women Whole range of violent acts – green jokes, sexual innuendos, sexual harassment, acts of lasciviousness, rape Women treated as sex objects Men socialized into thinking than women are virgins (they expect of their girlfriend, wives, daughters) or vamps (the women who provide them sexual favors) Some places (parks, bars,etc. or work (night work, work that requires travel) not for women - No woman is safe until all women are safe. Negative effect on personhood Women develop low self-esteem, no self-confidence No control over their bodies Women set low expectations of themselves, will not want to achieve more, will not want to outshine her man Will feel that without a man, she is nothing (pressures for women to get married, when married – must keep her man at all costs)
