What does identity tell us about someone? Can they be identified without having an identity? In my opinion, identity is not something that identifies our race, gender or sexuality. I believe that when identifying someone, it comes within that person, meaning you identify someone by their thoughts and actions. Not everyone has their own identity because they can be someone who follows another person’s footsteps, but that identification technically does not belong to them. For example, I read a…

Shakespeare’s Macbeth, a recurring theme is gender roles. For the duration of Macbeth the idea of how males and females behave are consistent. Macbeth derives its drama from the character’s ability to exploit one another based on their short comings in their particular role, either as a man or a woman.

the literature on this topic, I realized a very important question: why are there so few male teachers? Gender inequality, amongst teachers at the elementary level, paints a grim picture for the recruitment and retainment of male teachers (Anliak and Beyazkurk, 2008). This is perplexing, given that many other professions are approaching a gender balance more and more. Although it has been found that male teachers do have the potential to play a crucial part in young boys lives, there are some…

Although this can create some misunderstandings because in these categories, there is an “ideal” image of what a man or women is supposed to look and act like. This leads to a misrepresentation of males and females in which there are many subdivisions of the appearances and personalities of females and males. Furthermore, Jhally explains what Goffman called “Gender Display”. As Sut describes, this is when people perform this unnatural process by sending signals to others so that they will…
