Gender is not something we are born with, and not something we have, but
something we do and something we perform. This means that gender comes off
naturally, the things that we do can identifies what gender we have in. Some of it can
acquire on social interaction and some are hereditary. Social interaction in a way that
whatever a child sees in his environment, it can affect his gender as he grow older,
either he copies it or not but as we all know, children are great imitators, they copy what
they sees so its better to keep an eye on them if you don’t want them to have that kind
of attitude. It is also hereditary in a way, in my own opinion, like if someone is
considered as gay or lesbian, the following generation like literally inherit that kind of
gender status as what I have observed to the people I’ve known. And sex by the way is
a biological categorization based primarily on reproductive potential, whereas gender is
the social elaboration of biological sex. This means that sex is the categorization of
what we are born with, biologically. It categorizes as male and female, no other sex
included. Sex is based only on what chromosome you are born with either it is male or
female. However, in this 21st century, there are lots of procedure that can give you an
opportunity to change what sex you fond the most.
Dichotomous beginnings are the stage where the male and female builds there
selves from the moment of birth. These are linguistic acts that set up the baby for life,
launching a gradual process of learning to be a boy or a girl, a man or a woman and to
see all others as boys or girls, men or women as well. This is the process which the
parents introduce the gender roles of their babies that they will eventually carry the
settings as they grow older. This is where they identify whether it is a girls work or just
for boys. It is perhaps at this early life stage that it is clearest that
gender is a collaborative affair , that one must learn to perform as a male or a female,
and that
these performances require support from one’s surroundings.
Yes. As what I have observe the great labor force are well dominated by men
whereas the female remains in their respective homes taking care of their children and
her husband. Most of the men go to the farm and do the task in any different occasions,
some higher class go to the city and work but mostly are on the farm as our area are
large in agricultural land. Also, way back then where my older brother are still staying
with us, he alone go to the farm while my sister-in-law stay in our home taking care of
their daughter. It is same as my father way back when we are younger, he do all the
hard work together with my brothers while me and my mother is just preparing their
food. When it comes to the house chores, it is always our duty- me and my mother- to
make our home orderly and neat as well as cooking our foods.
