Faml 160 blog #4

 

This part of the week's blog is on the gendering which is a word that has different meaning today than compared to even just a few years ago. a quick online look gives the definition of gender “is meaning reflecting the experience, prejudices, or orientations of one sex more than the other. Gender on the other hand is something we express sometimes intentionally and sometimes without thinking. This can be done in a number of ways such as way we dress or move, or hairstyle or how we interact with others”.  Both of these definitions come from online.

Some of the difference can be broke down into two definitions with one being female and the other being male. With characteristics listed under each in some being responses and or observations.

Female                                                                          Male

Social                                                                           startle response

Nurture                                                                        aggressive

read emotions                                                             competitive

nonverbal                                                                     spatial orientation

cooperative

creative

relationship orientation

 

Within the areas mentioned was a study that toy companies tried to get genders to take toys designed for the opposite gender. the study indicated that firms had spent extensive amount of money, but boys still go for the action figures, combat type toys, cars or trucks while the girls go for dolls and home making type items. Toys R Us was a story that the professor indicated had went bankrupt because they started trying to follow this procedure and it was not being viably economically.

An interesting chart given was the interaction of two different sloping curves with the female and male located on their own individual curve with part of the descending slope intersecting the up sweeping slope of the male curve being intersected by the down sweeping slope of the female. this intersection area although the slopes were low on either side are common traits between the two sexes. At the top of the slopes or the peaks we find the I just listed in the above chart to be formed.

We live in a world where we can talk about gender differently. When we talked some time ago referencing research if you draw conclusions about the family structure, we would look at someone comes out of being a child that's one of the reasons we would want to look and study and children just see there is physiological or environmental caused them to change who would want to do this while they were fairly young in order to get the things nailed down to either physiological or environmental.

Girls have a tendency to start forming words even at a very young age compared to boys. One of the experiments that I found fascinating was one where the professor talked about kids around 1 year old where the mother put them on the other side of a piece of plexiglass. The boys would get up and run into the barrier to try to get to their moms. The girls on the other hand, would go up to the barrier and start to cry. This would get the attention of their moms and usually the mom would pick them up while the boys tried to keep being aggressive and justice get through the barrier. The girls were showing communication skills to get their mother to come to them

 

 As can be noted in the above chart women are more likely to see things other than just a relationship it's not just an individual women have more white matter in the brain compared to the male counterpart. The white matter Contains nerve fibers which are extensions of nerve cells. This function allows learning and brain functions, modulating the distributions of actual potential and coordinating Commission communication between the different brain regions. Gray Manor is more prominent in males. Gray matter makes up so outermost layer of the brain. White matter and Gray matter are similar in that they both are essential sections of both the brain as well as the spinal cord. This gives males more of an opportunity to focus On one subject (or item) at a time. The female on the other hand can focus on multiple items and their interaction with each other.

Thus, an important aspect that is with the male and female in partnership they will each have a slightly different perception slash angles of referencing and can lead to a comprehensive comparison of the two views.
