AMS Gender Issues

In Chinese culture, the Confucian attitude towards society seemed to prevail. Women lacked a voice, education was bereft of importance, and writing lacked substance. However, Lu Xun, one of the most prominent writers during the May Fourth movement, was a leading figure in helping shed the image of Confucian literature. His satirical style brought to light some of the major issues occurring in Chinese culture including the common attitude towards scholars, the sexist society as well as the everlasting belief that superstition and fortune were important. In “Kong Yiji,” Lu Xun chronicles the troubled times of a scholar, and despite his intellect becomes mocked by the villagers and ultimately is cast off. Lu Xun explores the gender inequality in his short story “Ah Q,” with the main character being attacked for disrespecting women. “Medicine” is inundated with many traditional Chinese superstitions, yet each superstition has an ironic outcome as nothing goes to plan. Moreover, Lu Xun’s parodies not only created a more realistic perspective of modern beliefs, but his parodies completely reject the traditional Confucian beliefs, paving the way for new Chinese voices.

Regardless of how diversity is defined, it is an issue that is sweeping the nation. By the 21st century, racial and ethnic minorities will constitute 25% of the U.S. population, affecting the makeup of the U.S. labor force (7). By the year 2000, women will constitute 47% of the total workforce and the average age of the workforce is expected to increase from 36 in 1986 to age 39 (7). If the corporate society does not address the issue by learning how to manage diversity, they will fail.

Gender is defined as being a male or female and determines the personalities, genetics and body functions of an individual. Nowadays people have taken something so simple and have almost changed it completely. Men now want to be women, and women want to be men. We live in a world where many people feel as if they are born into the wrong body and need to change their physical appearance to Appeal to others and feel comfortable again. Gender identity is not the same as it used to be and has been taken to a level that is almost life changing.

I took the Gender-Science IAT test. My results showed that I had a slight automatic association for males with science and females with liberal arts. I was a bit upset with my results considering the fact that I am a female in science. I don’t feel negatively towards females in liberal arts, males in liberal arts or males in science I’m just a tad bothered that the stereotype of males being good at science and math and females being good at the arts still exists in me.

One out of 265 (0.3%) of credential transactions reviewed by the Document Management team contained an error that was not detected. Specifically, a customer provided documentation showing her legal name was changed, but the credential was processed and issued with the incorrect name. Credential transactions that contain errors that are not detected can cause a credential to be issued with inaccurate customer information, resulting in non-compliance with regulations.

Sex and gender play a big part in american society today and are often misconstrued. These two topics have become progressive as people are starting to express their gender and sexuality in ways other than what is and has been considered the norm. Many people believe that sexuality and gender are synonymous with one another. Gender is socially constructed while sex is biologically determined. In society’s past, Americans often strayed away from discussing controversial topics, but with the rise of different ways of addressing people, it is deemed more important to understand. Along with the blurred lines of gender and sex comes sexuality, who someone is attracted to sexually. When people stray from society’s heteronormative mindset, they are often faced with many more challenges than the average hetero man or woman. People often have the preconceived notion that if something does not concern them, then they should not be involved in it. A person who could be your neighbor, co worker, or even child, may have to deal with the troubles of people confusing their gender identity with their sex. While also facing challenges that deal with the sex of the person they choose to love. Learning the difference between gender and sexuality will open the eyes of many people and see how the two are different but relate to one another very much.

I decided to take the Gender-Science IAT test. I thought this test would be relevant considering the material so far covered throughout the discussions. My results revealed that I didn’t associate either gender with science or liberal arts. I wasn’t surprised by these results, as I’ve always believed that both genders can study or work within those fields. However, I am aware that I may have that belief and could still have ended up with different results.

West and Zimmerman claim that gender is not something we are but something we do.

Gender identity is the personal conception of being a man or a woman and the society creates standards and comes up with gender roles basing them on existing norms and traditions which will in turn influence gender identity. For instance, most societies associate strength and dominance to be masculine roles while caring and assisting or subordination known to be feminine roles. This clearly makes gender identity be bred within the society. One’s identity is important as it influences his or her life through events like life experiences, how one is being taken or treated, how to do one associate or socialize with others, the type of job one will have to do and also opportunities that may come up favoring a certain type of gender identity. One is also likely to face obstacles or discrimination due to his or her identity.

The “binary gender model” as a concept seems to be a dated mindset that was far more prevalent for previous generations, compared to today's open and accepting society. As many discussions on the topic have stated, to have two set genders with expected interests could be unhealthy when raising your child, due to the fact that it could intimidate them into thinking that was the only option, forcing a life of both uncomfort and confusion. That being said, today's society is one of innovation and has a particular emphasis on the acceptance of any gender-questioning individuals and as the “Ted Talk” stated, many different vehicles towards aiding families through the process of confusion in regards to the child’s gender.1 These vehicles include

What is gender nonconforming? Is it the same thing as being transgender? The answer is no. According to GLAAD (2017), gender nonconforming and transgender are umbrella terms, therefore, gender nonconforming people do not always identify themselves as transgender and not all transgender people are gender nonconforming. Gender nonconforming is a term used to describe people whose behavior and/or appearance is different from prevailing expectations of masculinity and femininity (GLAAD, 2017). Transgender is a term for people whose gender expression and gender identity are different than the gender they were assigned at birth (GLAAD, 2017).
