Sex and gender may seem to go hand in hand but overtime I learned they are completely different. Our sex is biology, it is the biological characteristic that gives us our reproductive organs, where we are categorized into groups, male and female. James M. Henslin author of Essentials of Sociology a Down-To-Earth Approach explains gender best, “Gender in contrast, is a social, not a biological characteristic. Gender consists of whatever behaviors and attitudes a group considers proper for its…
First, I want to talk and discuss about “Race.” In this world, we have many countries with many types of people like: Korean, American, Vietnamese, Indian, and etc. there is not only cause they lived in different countries, for they have different about culture, skin, and language of each countries. I am a Vietnamese person and living in there for seventeen years before I moved to U.S. When I came to America, I saw a lot of difference from culture to race of people. There are people with white,…

From the beginning until now, the mankind is divided in two different gender which Henslin defines as “The behaviors and attitudes that…
females’ levels were uneffected by age (Riechert, Chastel, & Becker, 2012; Figure 2). To fully test prolactin’s effect and to be releastic on the survival age of the average bird, we chose a younger participant. The 10 control groups and two sets of 10 experimental groups will each be given their own aviary with appropriate sized nest boxes for each pair. The housing size of each box is 5〖 1⁄2 〗^ ' ' x 4^ ' ' x 8 3⁄4 ' ' and includes a two pivot nail side door to allow for cleaning (Figure 1)…
professional sports, the Olympic games, and other elite sporting events alike will be open to a whole new category of competition. As new competition arises, there will have to be measures placed to regulate these events. It is argued by Müller (2016) that sex is an arbitrary measure of who should be competing against each other in sports. Elite sporting agencies such as the IOC have no leniency when it comes to male and female competition. They are strictly prohibited from competing against…

This is because individuals belonging to many groups have a higher tendency to conform than individuals belonging to fewer groups.This is because individuals who are apart of more groups are exposed to more kinds of stimuli…

Depending on the context, these characteristics may include biological sex, sex-based social structures, or gender identity. When in context of different sex hormones like Estradiol and Testosterone, it can be thought that biological sex is able to draw the line between the two. Though it may seem safe to think when separating the two, there are some similarities between Estradiol and…
was designed to gain a better understanding of sex differences in feeding in Gorillas. The main focus of this study is to assess whether males or females spend more time feeding. It is predicated that male gorillas will spend a greater amount and proportion of time feeding, due to their larger size. Methods: Observations were made at the Calgary Zoo during scheduled laboratory time (Thursdays, 2:00-4:45pm) November 19, 2015 and November 24, 2015; a group of Gorilla gorilla (gorillas) consisting…
constraints of hugging a stranger, we thought they would probably be opposite genders and those walking in groups. Furthermore, we hypothesized that the female confederate would receive more hugs from males, than the male confederate from women. To test if the woman or male…
Early studies of sex-dependent wayfinding strategies such as that of MacFadden, Elias, and Saucier (2003) have been influential in establishing a broad acceptance that men rely more strongly on cardinal directions and distance descriptions. Men also tend to possess higher…
