Findings The survey was passed out to a total of 68 people, of which, 37 were female and 30 were male. Originally, we wanted to pass out at least 100 surveys to ensure a representative sample, however, many of the barriers, as previously mentioned, took place. Nevertheless, we found some interesting results. For females, we gathered that 21.6% had tattoos while 78.4% of our sample did not. For those who had tattoos, 13.5% reported only having one and 8.1% had 2 to 3 on them. A majority of the…

Sex and gender may seem to go hand in hand but overtime I learned they are completely different. Our sex is biology, it is the biological characteristic that gives us our reproductive organs, where we are categorized into groups, male and female. James M. Henslin author of Essentials of Sociology a Down-To-Earth Approach explains gender best, “Gender in contrast, is a social, not a biological characteristic. Gender consists of whatever behaviors and attitudes a group considers proper for its…

Why are women oversexualized for their bodies and slut-shamed for the media they post online while men are applauded? Women should have the right to choose how they represents their bodies without the harsh judgement from society. Female celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Amber Rose, and Fifth Harmony, are constantly shamed for the amount of clothing they wear when they post pictures on Instagram, or when they perform on stage. What about male celebrities such as Justin Bieber and Zayn Malik?…

Anne Fausto-Sterling in the reading “Dueling Dualisms” does a great job in illustrating the social construction approach experienced in the society today. Fausto-Sterling, believes that sex and gender are both socially constructed and take place in the human’s biology, which then play a role on the persons’ physiological aspects as well (Fausto-Sterling 127). This could be seen in the example Fausto-Sterling incorporates of Maria Patino’s case, where the phenomenal athlete was banned from the…

The role of the women in healthcare has evolved considerably from antiquity to modernity. Whether women earned the title of nurse, doctor, caregiver or obeah women, their place in history is one of influence and silent courage. Women have been perceived as being in the shadow, or in positions of low standing in relation to that of men. They are spoken of as being the “weaker” and more docile of the sexes; yet have still managed to operate in positions of power and influence. In the struggle for…

In the beginning of exploring my social phenomenon that is known as the sexual double standard. The social phenomenon that I can say I took apart in at a young age. Knowing that I was in a group that was constructed off of this social phenomenon is one of the reasons I decided to learn more about it. The fact that I grew up believing in the double standard, and was part of the reason why it became a social phenomenon. I felt guilty when I finally became aware of the issue in high school when a…

but the culture forces the women to compromise and sustain the relationship. Their marriage success ratio is also high. Another aspect to consider, is the concept of homosexuality.

The behavior of nest sanitation includes the removal of eggshells, fecal sacs, non-viable hatchlings, and undigested food (Ibáñez-Álamo, Ruiz-Raya, Roncalli, & Soler, 2014). This costly expense is not found in every species, and perhaps has adapted in part to its reproductive advantage (Tinbergen, 1963). Many studies have tested to see if removal of excrements decreases parasites and predators. These hypotheses have received mixed support between studies on the same species as well as between…
