Margaret Wente’s (2010), achieve, among couple of other questions with some imaginary answers, something new to be pointed: more girls, compared with boys, have higher education. Now, we understand, somehow, why some boys are saying "these girls..." as if girls are an alien species with which humans have been trying to communicate. And girls refer to the boys as a newly discovered tribe. Shortly, maybe girls are better at learning foreign languages and boys are brightest in mathematics. If so, that’s why in the world is a significantly lower proportion of woman

    Gender Roles In Garcia's The Decline Of Latin Women

    Similarly to Garcia, Brooks compares girls school record to boys, statistically proving that girl do better in school than boys do. He informs the reader that the data is from the Department of Education, establishing his ethos as this becomes a credible source. Brooks counter argues himself and implements the possibility of males educational decline on social consequences, however “Among African Americans, there are 200 females grads for every 100 male grads.” (Brooks, 411) So whatever is causing this gap between the two genders is present in different social classes and cultures.…

    Boy Troubles Chapter 1 Analysis

    According to Hodgetts, much of the standardized tests represent the outperforming gender as females. In addition, she highlights the media depicting higher rate of “suspension, expulsion, behavioral problems, and early school-leaving” have been the common image towards male students (Hodgetts, 2007, 466). However, Hodgetts provides a glimpse of why boys have been referenced as underachievers. She further details the possibilities by comparing the girls as passive with “passive“ subjects such as reading, listen, or copying material whereas boys are more categorized for their active persona for active subjects such as math and science. With this logic, many of the boys fail to adhere to the complexities of passive subjects thus revolving around the negative phenomenon of academic underachievement.…

    Maria W Stewart Rhetorical Analysis

    In Maria W. Stewart's lecture in Boston in 1832, she conveys her position on the injustices of slavery and the cruelty that slaves experiences through the use of diction, figurative language, and her own personal experience. Altogether, these create a sense of injustice and desparity for the cause of the African Americans and their freedoms and aspirations to be something more than just servile labor. Diction is a major influence in this lecture. With a variety of words, such as "chains", "ragged", "drudgery and toil", "exhausted", "death", and "cruel", Stewart appeals to the feelings of people in an attempt to make them understand the hardships and extreme injustice that encompass the life of a slave. To continue, there is also another set…

    Stereotypes In STEM

    Stereotypes In STEM

    Literature has been done on Asians in STEM, but lacks the separation of gender. The pervious literature has shown that Asians hold familial expectations and approval in high standing, due to their collectivist culture. While we know that Asian parents are more likely to support their children in science subjects (), we don’t know whether this changes depending on gender. Therefore I hypothesize that Asian women will have less familial support to participate in STEM than their male counterparts. I believe that there will be a negative correlation between females and familial support, because traditionally men worked, and women stayed at home, and through (so and so’s study) we know that women in STEM are still held to traditional gender roles.…

    Analysis Of When Bright Girls Decide That Math Is A Waste Of Time

    Jacoby discusses an unreasoning belief in young girls that math and sciences are "masculine" subjects. She states that an adolescence girl’s fear of choosing science and math in high school that makes them have "unfeminine braininess" to boys. Jacoby brings up a recorded incident: “in early schooling, some boys, experience this syndrome a form of panic, akin to a phobia, at any task of involving with numbers” but it is not in girls. However, in high school, boys outpaced girls in solving math (122). She compares the two incidents and explains the illogical reason: brainy girls appear as unappealing to boys so girls downsize their interest in professional courses.…

    Analysis Of Hearn's Critique

    Critique involves “a critical reflection to the topic, encompassing a self-reflexivity of the author and a commitment to the political emancipation of both women and men” (Hearn, 1998, p.801, ‘Theorizing Men’). This discursive practice is by far the most direct and effective way of putting the topic of men into question. By application of this discursive practice into sociological writings, we could expect to see how the theorizing of men begins with the attempt to change them. Therefore, if the violences of men on women could be studied using the critique practice, we would be able to better understand the lived experiences of women. Epistemological Issues…

    Comparing Male And Female Brains

    Females start to produce more words and tend to have a higher vocabulary than males. Females start to talk at a younger age. In addition, boys are better at mathematics than girls. It is proven that girls continue to show higher grades at math throughout school, until they get to the age of fifteen, around freshman year, but still boys show better skills at mathematics. “Gender differences favoring boys appear at adolescence and increase during the high school years, but only in areas involving mathematics problem solving” (Cook par.4).…

    Analysis: Why Boys Are More Important Than Men

    There has always been a debate about academic achievement between girls and boys. Studies have almost always demonstrated that girls do better than boys when it comes to reading. In the article Motivating Boys to Read: Inquiry, Modeling, and Choice Matter by Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey; Fisher and Frey argue “the difference is probably not due to ‘that pesky Y chromosome.’ Perhaps it is time to challenge the prevailing myth of boys and their disinterest in reading.” They studied 115 ninth graders but then narrowed it down to only 3.…
