In W10, It is talking about gender and Race, Ethnicity

gender

Gender and sex can be thought of as the same word because they have similar meanings. However Gender and sex are different words. Sex is a word in biological sense and A gender is a word associated with society. As we have become related to society, men and women can be distinguished according to their gender. For example Traditional Gender Characteristics are that masculine characteristics are dominant, independent, rational, assertive, analytical, brave, active, insensitive and feminine characteristics are submissive, dependent, emotional, receptive, intuitive, timid, passive, sensitive. Traditional Gender Characteristics feel that men are superior to women.

Why?

According to Structural Functionalism, it argues that males are superior to females in consultation with each other to make society more stable. On the other hand, Conflict Theory argues that males are superior to females by the relationship of power between men and women. Perhaps for these reasons, Traditional Gender Characteristics are likely to arise.

Race and Ethnicity

Race is a human population that is believed to be distinct in some way from other humans based on real or imagined physical differences. And Ethnicity, while related to race, refers not to physical characteristics. But it refer to social traits (nationality, tribe, religious faith, shared language, shared culture, shared traditions).

Racism is basic human dignity and a violation of human rights. So racism should be eliminated. However racism is not disappeared. Because people feel a reluctance in others that Something else yourself. And Expressions of Racism is divides into various way that Individual-Level Racism, Structural racism, Cultural racism, Historical racism, Racial profiling, and Color-blind racism.

  1. Government and some organizations effort to eliminate racism. But people's consciousness is most important thing. Law can't get enough of removing racism. Because racism can occur everywhere, everytime. Police cannot catch all racism. So people need to get rid of racism thought. It can be person's liking but racism must not be followed.
