Display Rules are described as the unwritten instructions that direct people in controlling their emotional expressions, depending on the situation. Emotional expressions can be expressed (verbally and facially) or regulated. Expressing emotions means to show true feelings regarding something, while controlling emotions are related to limiting expression of true feelings as a result of the condition surrounding the child. Previous findings have found that children are better in controlling their…

were born biologically a female yet identifies as gender fluid, thus having two names and having to use gender-neutral pronouns (they/them). Gender fluid is “referring to a gender identity that changes with time and/or situation as opposed to a fixed sex-role or gender queer expression.” (Winter, Claire R. 2010) In other words, being a gender fluid individual can be defined as a persona who can identify at any time to be male, female, neutrois (genderless), or a combination. This had one…

have become a lot more female centered. However, there is always room for improvement in any area; I feel we are leaps and bounds ahead of how things used to be. Today I will thoroughly explain how things have changed for the better, for the female sex since Katha Pollitt’s essay was written over twenty years ago. As a mother of a preschool-aged little girl, I have seen my fair share of Disney movies. Movies such as Tangled, Mulan, Frozen, and Brave are some of the many movies that have come…

Monster’s University is not a feminist film. Feminism is about “social, political and economic quality of the sexes” (Hobbs & Rice, 2012, page 6), something that this film does not show. It also happens to be a film that does not make an attempt to combat gender binaries and fails at representing all genders of its target audience, which is people of all ages due to the film’s G rating (Parentpreviews, 2015). It is not merely the fact that the cast is primarily male that prevents it from being…

As research has shown, physical and health benefits abound from participation in athletics. These benefits are not the only factors for participation. In a study conducted by Nathalie Koivula, differences in motivation and actual participation were analyzed and shared. The motives for participation as they related to appearance, competition and excitement, fun and enhanced competence are also evident. Koivula’s study points out the evidence of the impact of social construction of male-female…

in the explicit discussion about masturbation. When looking back, putting aside personal or religious beliefs concerning the topic, it would appear that masturbation would serve as a countermeasure against teenage pregnancy and the transmission of sex-related diseases, but when politics enters the discussion, everything rational gets tossed out the window (Canino, J. T., 2003). The act of masturbation is a natural act, familiar to all males and females. But for some silly and profound reason,…

Throughout the reading of Sophie, Jean-Jacques Rousseau claims to attempt to illustrate the similarity and difference between men and women 's education and nature. It is difficult to ascertain exactly what comparisons between the sexes Rousseau is trying to make as he repeatedly claims to men and women being equal, and then contradicts this immediately after by making his assertions that they are nothing alike. The entire reading is juxtaposed in a way that the main point Rousseau is trying to…

Psychology and its Relations to Physiology, Anthropology, Sociology, Sex, Crime, Religion and Education. In chapter seventeen of the book he writes about, adolescent girls and their education, and compares with the opposite sex. In the chapter we see that the adolescence in woman is looked at from a biological standpoint, a medical standpoint, Nubility of Educated Women, Fecundity of Educated Women, and then just simply education alone. Strength, mortality, brain, senses, agility, mental…

Depression is an important issue to study in adolescents because of its increasing prevalence. 12.5% of adolescents aged 12-17 have suffer from depression; 19.5% of women and 5.8% of men (National Institute of Mental Health). This is a significant percentage of the population and is especially important to study because depression is frequently linked to suicide in adolescents. Risk taking is also widely seen in the behavior of adolescents (Jessor, 1991). This risky behavior can be defined in a…

For a long time, the documentary films are male dominated in that most of the producers, directors, and actors are men while the women are given limited roles. In such a position, the women may not have a significant impact in the documentary film industry. This indicates that there is inflexibility to change since many women may not be allowed in the film industry as directors or producers. In fact, most of the men that thrive in the film have made it worse for the women especially when…
