Gender
GENDER IS STANDARDIZED BY THE OVERT EXPRESSION OF ATTITUDES THAT INDICATE TO OTHERS THE DEGREE OF YOUR MALENESS OR FEMALENESS; IN OTHER WORDS YOUR "GENDER IDENTITY AND OR ROLE" . IT IS THE MAKEUP OF SOCIAL CONSTRUCT, A TERM THAT HAS BEEN INVENTED TO EXPLAIN A SOCIAL AND BIOLOGICAL DISTINCTION BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN.
In Kerber’s “Introduction: Gender and the New Women’s History,” the author defines gender and sex. Gender involves the meaning that a particular society and culture attaches to sexual differences. Gender in its basic definition is the binary that Western society has drawn: the relationship of men and women. The author defines sex as the biological differences that are unchanging in one’s life (Kerber 9). She explains this as a social construction based on anatomical and hormonal characteristics (gender), which have been defined by society and culture. These have been the societal standards that have been reinforced since the beginning of colonial American History (10).

The Industrial Revolution has shaped and developed the Modern world we live in today. Unlike other impacting events the Industrial Revolution specifically has determined the way - our society functions socially, politically, economically and so on. Gender Roles are the Leading aspects in which religion, politics, work fields, and even education system have used to define who and what is institutionalized as proper to run or work in our systems.
Three examples of how the Industrial Revolution is seen across the globe is - gender stereotypes, as well as work places such as elementary school teachers and principals as a contrast to high school teachers and principals or even the drastic privilege differences in households seen today.
Nothing can be changed in society unless wanted and worked toward. I believe that Gender roles as shown through the development of Industrialization although has advanced us technologically, has also made us ignorant to and or at least set us back from analyzing history and coming to the realization of the inequality we as people place of humanity as a whole as a result of our egotistical prejudgments.
We as people only have one world and we are all presented with the same amount of lives, one. The way in which one lives their lives may not seem as something significant but in the long run effects humanity as a whole. The way in which gender roles come to play and interconnect with others is that they serve as the basis of defining who and what you are capable of attributing to society.
By redefining how you as a person see the world and or at least the other gender you are already making a difference which sadly has taken years of history and even still struggle now to get people to realize as well.
Society may not see it through little acts towards improving society but by establishing and or working towards a better social justice community we as people are not just giving media another story to cover, but we are fighting to make up for the inequality that not just history has shown us but that we see everyday of our lives in our: homes, work place, schools, streets, environments, political powers, etc.
To understand global issues is to become aware that if we do not change the way we live, we as a society cannot and will not progress if at all soon enough.
Issues that come to play in the roles of gender are : discrimination in employment, stereotypes placed on race, justification placed on rape, Discrimination in college admission, ..etc.
Global issues difficult to address in the form that ideologies, religion, power, etc will always be in conflict over what is moral and immoral to propose. Similar to the idea that some people believe global warming does not exist over people who do, humanity similarly continues to neglect that the world is reaching to its point at which we will no longer have the time or option to change our opinions or actions rather will be faced with the delayed realization that what they’re actions have all attributed has resulted with what we see around us.
Gender Roles are what have defined and served to determine the people of power we see in these positions today from - the government, to our workplaces to even fields such as science or religion. By establishing an understanding for the psychological development of these defined norms you are becoming educated in one of the root causes for why and how society is built the way it is. Being aware is only the first step to acknowledgment and being part of an even greater solution - positive reinforcement.
