    Chorus Candlelight Concert Report

    A study by Charles A. Elliot shows that gender indeed plays a role in the judgement of musical performances, relating instruments to perceived masculine/feminine associations (Elliot 53). While the study is somewhat different because it shows performances of instrumentalists, the same way of thinking can be applied. When an audience member sees an all-female chorus, they judge it differently than an all-male or integrated chorus. This is due to initial expectations that they believe will be fulfilled in the…

    The Importance Of Gender Segregation In Schools

    It is a popular belief that schools segregated by gender would improve the overall intelligence of the two gender binaries, however there is not enough evidence to support this [accusation]. In The Gender Gap at School David Brooks argues that gender segregated schools would cause a substantial improvement among male students’ success in receiving education. He claims that boys enjoy lower intellectual books than girls due to difference in how the brain works. This idea is supported by a survey between 400 women and 500 men, where the men preferred to read the books like Catcher in the Rye and Slaughterhouse-Five, women read Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice. Brooks says that boys have trouble processing negative emotions compared to girls,…
