institutions that help teach gender roles in society today, however there is no stand-alone institution that accounts for everything.

With new ideas of gender roles and a changing culture it is important more now than ever to understand why things are set up as they are and examine why competition occurs between those of different genders. A main reason why these competitions occur is the need for equality…

Throughout time men and women have been assigned different gender roles, or different expectations for males and females that society creates. These roles then influence how we treat males and females. A trend that we have noticed is that mothers are treated differently than men and nonmothers. “Mothers experience disadvantages in the workplace in addition to those commonly associated with gender” (Correll, Bernard, Paik 1297).

breadwinners; but it seems to always exclude the fact that men need women in order to allow creative and emotional expression. Philippa Pearce, author of Tom’s Midnight Garden and Katherine Paterson, author of Bridge to Terabithia, explore the fundamental roles women play in a man’s life.

the gender roles they were taught in the society and culture we grew up in. Well this little girl is climbing a tree and most likely going to rip her tights. She loves wear dresses and loves the feeling of looking down from the tops of trees.

Some children have the voice to speak and not let gender roles interfere…
