A common saying goes, “Knowledge is power”, but this idea is not always true before starting a research endeavor. In fact, research demands as much of an unbiased view as possible. Sometimes, it is required for researchers to try and rid themselves of all known information.

Whites attitudes towards interracial marriage was the outcome of white’s habitus. The separation of races effects the fact…

The Socio-Cultural Construction of Gender Identity I. Introduction Gender Identity is one of the most intriguing and intricately challenging topics among developmental scientists today. However, it is only recently that this topic became of interest to research and studies. Such studies go on to analyze and experiment with infants, children as well as adolescents and adults to find the root of this social-cultural ‘handicap.’ Where do these types of associations come from? Why do they exist?…
