More Than a Test Score How standardized are standardized tests? When a test is standardized, this means that a particular group of students will take the same test that will be fully scored and analyzed all the same way. The score that each student receive will then be compared to other students that have taken the same test. In most schools in the United States, we force students to take these test in order to ultimately evaluate a student’s intellectual level in a certain subject. They not…

I, Leo Davidson, was born in Vermont, on March 23, 2002. I grew up with my parents who were great role models. I’ve never been held back, and my grades are on average. While growing up, I came into conflict with the “norms” in my community a lot. I’ve never been a “people’s” person and don’t plan on becoming one any time soon. At my school, there is no bullying, and nothing extraordinary has ever happened. We haven't solved world hunger, and we haven't found a new energy source. We are just a…

the rules of society and how they govern the culture (Ridgeway & Correll, 2004, p. 511). Gender norms fall under the purview of social structures and the normative gender beliefs serve as a framework for behavior and self-evaluations (Ridgeway & Correll, 2004, p. 512).

As children we have basically been targets for clothing, toys, hairstyles, how we should act, i.e.; we have all been successful targets as of this. We have basically become what they portrayed us to be regardless if you are a male or female. We judge individuals as much as we may not want to, due to how the media and society portrays individuals to be. For example, if you go to your friends dorm…

The way that men and women communicate has a big impact on social norms. Although some of the differences are just biological, like how men tend to have deeper voices, most of them have to do with traditions of a certain culture. The difference in communication strategies of both genders in a society reveals a lot about their beliefs and the roles each gender plays. These strategies originate from our basic survival to use each gender’s strengths and weaknesses. However, their communications…
