    • 3 Pages

This puts a lot of pressure on girls and women and affects their self-esteem and overall well-being. On the flip side, we tell boys that they can misbehave and break rules to be better as men. “Bad” boys are what young men strive to be for most of their life. I…

Their young have a rather long maturation period compared to other animals, so they rely on their mothers to nurture them until the can reach around full size around a year old. The Sifakas are a…

    As I don’t go to many outwardly social events, I am choosing to write about the social climate at my gym. I think that the gym is mainly a front stage, with little back stages that you can retreat to. Many people come to the gym to manage how others see them by showing off how their body looks or how hard they work, they are performing for the crowd. In the gym setting, personal space is a very strange thing, with everyone having their opinion on what personal space constitutes as. I also…

    This ad is related to women and what they think about men versus women in sports. Nike is supporting this ad which could also be considered biased. The advertisement conveys that women want to be or are better than men at sports. Or that the specific “new” shoe they are advertising will give the women an advantage over men. The ad mainly appeals to younger women, approximately around (10-30) because normally the majority that runs marathons and just runs to stay healthy, are young. The women…
