I don’t know about you but when I go out, the last thing in my mind is, What would happen if I get kidnapped or something along those lines. Nope, I just go on with my day, and seeing unfamiliar faces every day, not caring who they are or what they do. I see cars, and not even once do I think “I wonder what they are up too.” Nope, I just go on with my day, but like all of you. I don’t see what’s really happening, I am unaware of the world in the shadows sometimes. I’m not aware that, the moment…

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.

medicine. Women were denied the privilege of attending universities and medical schools. They were exposed to science on a very basic level; as it was perceived that “they were not fit for the task of pursuing higher education”.reference? “Moreover, women’s pursuit of higher education was contrary to their maternal destiny”.

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.
