Girl scouts vs. Boy Scouts When I was about 9 years old, I was excited that I might be able to become a Boy Scout. I had always heard what they were about. I wanted to do the things they did, like go on hiking trips, earn cool badges, and make friends. I begged my dad to let me try Boy Scouts. One day after school, my dad and I went to the local Boy Scout troop to see what they were about. I learned so much about Boy Scouts that day, what they did and what their upcoming events are. I was very excited to join because it was everything I was hoping for. Unfortunately I did join because I learned that the entire family had to be committed to Boy Scouts if I wanted to join, but we won't dwell on that. Move forward seven years to me when I was…
the boys have hard time in their classes because they get overwhelm. A lot of young teens are more involve in sports. Boys need classes that they can do physical things like football and basketball. For a human body to stay healthy they need exercise. More importantly when most boys and girls begin high school they try to do their very best in the school year so they won’t have to make up for it later on in the year. In high school if you don’t pass your 9th grade year you will…
Annually, my high school will host a Boys Vs Girls rally in honor of Valentine’s Day. Despite participating both freshman and sophomore year, during my junior year I chose to challenge the festivities because I found a perspective of the event that it seem more harmful than lighthearted. As a junior, I was able to see how such a rally perpetuated sexism and failed to provide adequate representation for gender nonconforming or transgender students. Over two years, I saw that both males and…
haired or brown haired men in the world is unending. There is a variety of men, but they all have a common base that makes them who they are in life. Growing up as boys, men pursue similar paths with common traits and habits that distinguish them from women. Their ingredients are virtually the same. Similarly, when making pizza, cooks need at least some type of cheese, flour, and sauce to start before they can be more creative and cook a tasty pizza. Men have their own recipes for…
Parent vs. Children Conflicts Do you and your parents always see eye to eye with each other? I bet that most of you said no. Parents and their children do not always have the same outlook or impressions as each other. Sometimes the mom wants something for their daughter that the daughter does not want for herself. Other times the daughter wants something that the mom does not want for her daughter. When parents and children bump heads, or have a different perspective of things it causes…
fundamentally a cultural ritual that begins in childhood, and understanding the interpretation correctly will require a certain type of response. Deborah Tannen suggest that men and women differ in cultural language patterns, specifically with regards to conversational rituals. To elaborate Tannen suggest that men use language to negotiate their ‘status’ and to protect their independence. That is, men (boys) perceive that there is a hierarchical structure social order and not every man (boy) is…
Sociologist may associate biological influences on gender with the human behaviour and the structure of the human anatomy however; some sociologist may base their sociological influences on gender with cultural and environmental factors. This associates with the “nature vs. nuture” argument, as I will be exploring and comparing sociologist views on whether biology has more of an influence on gender or sociology. From a sociologist’s point of view, sex is referred to the biological approach and…
audiences. Mass media is the reason that a lot of information is learned about other countries. The information learned about other countries through mass media is not always good information that that country wanted to let out of its borders but sometimes it has no choice. In the case of this documentary, information is exposed about China’s one child policy and how offsetting it is to not only the economy but to the culture in China. Due to the one child policy in China, there will soon be…
nameless young boy and his love for his friend’s nameless sister through first person narration. There are many themes that this story addresses, but I argue that romance is the most crucial theme here. The theme of romance is spread by the boy’s idealization of Mangan’s sister which causes the contrasts of expectations and reality. As the story progresses, his idealizations falter and eventually he is fully aware of his true surroundings and reality. James Joyce uses this first-person…
the messages was also observed. Many of the girls’ cards used words such as “perfect”, “pretty”, and “cute”. They also contained a lot of play on words including substituting “fairy for the word “very” or “purr-fect” instead of “perfect”. These trends with the messages on girls’ cards correlated with stereotypical conceptions that girls are supposed to be fragile and sweet, but smarter than boys, which is why a lot of the cards contain a lot of word play. In comparison, cards designed for boys…
