Additionally, domestic violence happens very often and most of people consider it—not as a crime—but a norm of marriage. And the reasons for it? The reporters of DHS Program give us some instances: disrespecting in-laws, neglecting the house or children, arguing with husband, going out without husband’s consent, etc. and even not cooking properly—putting less or more salt—is enough to be beaten (Hindin, Kishor, and Ansara, 27).

For years now, there has been an ongoing debate whether women or men are funnier; whether it is a woman who makes the better joke or a male who makes the best cartoon caption. Throughout the popular press article, “The Humor Code” by Peter Graw and Joel Warner, they talk about the experience they had when researching their book. When researching their book, they met with humorists all around the world, seeing that most were male. When they moved on to a behind-the-scenes look at the New Yorker…

much right to the tastes and preferences of an individual” (Sayers 24). This is the central theme of both essays, although the second essay takes on a more religious tone. Sayers believes that if people can be seen as individual humans before their gender they would be more likely to choose to take part in activities or occupations they do well at rather than the social norm for male or female. Sayers acknowledges that there are differences between the sexes, such as the general female…

The Aztecs and the Mayans had similar yet different ways to define the gender in their cultures. The Aztecs culture was divided into many classes and while it was hard for individuals to move up the ranks there was a few that had the opportunity. For the most part many of them started as farmers and remain in that position through out life. The ones that were into trade had a better opportunity to become affluent. Their parents did most of the education during the early years of life and school…

The consensus that ‘sex’ refers to biological components that define men from women while ‘gender’ refers to cultural constructs influencing masculinity and femininity is groundbreaking. Distinguishing ‘sex’ from ‘gender’ has cultivated radical ramifications that have reshaped studies of the human body and behaviour - particularly in the fields of anthropology, and science: both medical and social.
