Gender And Its Effects On Society

Has our society been consumed by the idea that those whom fall under a different morality deserve less respect or acknowledgment? Is there any reason behind humans wanting to correct the things they don’t understand, or is it merely the ignorance behind wanting to serve as superior. As gender plays an enormous roll on moral ideas, men and women find voice through literacy for it’s the purest form that can cause the most effect on society.

When analyzing the institutions of work and family, one can see the influence that gender has on levels of discrimination, particularly against women. In this essay, I will examine these gendered institutions and the resulting effects this can have on families. This discrimination is particularly evident in the gendered division of labor. While this division is considered “traditional,” the splitting

to learn as they grow up is that some things in life are predetermined, even who and what people are. The truth is no one has any control of their identity because society chooses who and what people are, Society separates the rich from the poor, the messiahs from the outcasts and strong from the frail.

When I was young, my mother and my stepfather owned their own fencing company and brought in good money for my stepbrother and I.
