Gender Inequality Within The United States Of The English Department Of Ku.

Deborah Tannen, who is a professor of linguistics, says in her essay, "How Male And Female Students Use Language Differently", that after she made her book, “You Just Don’t Understand: Women and Men in Conversation” that one of the unintended benefits was that she gets to reevaluate her teaching strategies and see how male and females act differently in class. As you read through her essay you can tell that Deborah Tannen wants her readers to think about why males tend to speak more in discussions than females and the reason for this difference in the classroom and also how we can improve the classroom for both men and women.Although Tannen tends to get off topic and doesn 't have much evidence to back up some of her claims, she states

While I was one of 3 girls in my junior year Academic Math course, the experience I felt proved to me just how horrible sexism and harassment in these areas can be. I loved speaking in class and shooting for the right answer even when no one else put their hand up, but my teacher, a male much older than me, picked on the boys that sat at the front, hiding behind their binders and disregarded me constantly, and when I went to confront him about it, my teacher and my male peers told me to “stop trying so hard” and calling me “bossy” on many separate occasions. This also created a hierarchy between the boys and girls in the class.

Through her use of the rhetorical devices of personal experience, ethos, and comparison, venerated Georgetown linguistics professor Deborah Tannen persuaded me to concede with her argument that males and females communicate differently in the classroom, as indicated in her 1991 article How Male and Female Students Use Language Differently. In this composition, she emphasizes that because of intersexual differences in utilizing the spoken word in class differently, instructors, including herself, consider reevaluating their teaching strategies. In her case, revising the approach involved building experience through closely monitoring her classes and collaborating with colleagues.

She states that men tend to participate more in the classroom setting because they like having the “center stage” , while women tend to talk more when they are in smaller groups because they like to tell secrets. What is different about men and women according to the article is that men usually bond by exchanging insults, although women usually bond by “talking about troubles.” Different teaching styles can lead to more diverse classroom conversations like how open-ended questions can lead to more participation from women. Tannen decided to do an experiment with her classroom to observe

think social institutions have different influence and shape gender inequality depending on where you live and where you're from. Such as in Africa they have high discrimination in social institutions, due to how their government is run. There they believe that men have the power and women are the “weak ones” who need to stay home and cook and care for their children. Even for a women to give birth to a daughter in other countries is looked down upon they want to have a son so that he can take over the father's farm and whatnot.

Do different teaching techniques give one sex an advantage over the other in the classroom? Should class teaching strategies be based on the sex of the students? Deborah Tannen’s article, How Male and Female Students Use Language Differently, compares and contrast how men and women learn and converse differently in the classroom. The author pin points the different types of educational practices that are used in school that allow one gender to dominate the other. Tannen uses many examples to support her main points of the article; the difference of male and female conversational style.

Furthermore, it has recently been proved that teachers in co-educational classes frequently favour their own gender. For example, males can dent the progress and confidence of females by refusing to choose them to answer questions or demonstrate in class. A prime example in co-educational schools, including my own, is the refusal of choosing girls in PE

Gender inequality is amongst us all in any given society. Although gender is not as simple as may seem. Gender comes into play with many different aspects such as sex, gender and gender roles. The interactions between race and gender create stereotypes about men and women gender is part of our social structure, just as race and class. This is an unfair society where not everyone have the same opportunities especially women and people who don't are belong to a certain group of people because of their color or race. Everything evolve except the mind of many people. Therefore there should be laws and regulation that help women and minorities to reach the same opportunities that the other classes.

We have many norms that determine our behavior in society. Socially, it is a social norm for men to not cry or show emotional as openly as women. Another social norm we have is that girls are less likely to enter the scientific or mathematical field. Similarly, in the workplace, we have a social norm where women take on more secretary jobs and men are more likely to take CEO jobs. In school, we have a social norm where students are expect to not talk back to their teachers (in order to respect their authority). Lasty, we also have a social norm where romantic relationship, men are expected to pay for dinner. It is these type of norms (e.g., relationship, social, gender) that dictate how we act around people, following them depending on what

A lot of inequality among the sexes is simply based on stereotypes. Stereotypes can be explained as “one-sided and exaggerated images of men and women which are deployed repeatedly in everyday life”. (Scott and Marshal, 2009, pp. 279) A great example of stereotypical sexist views is portrayed in the humours video of the character Ali G who interviewed a lady about her views on feminism. In this video he seems to be making fun of some sexist notions such as the idea of people being uncomfortable about flying in a plane piloted by a female

Men and Women's lives are controlled by the double standards all around them. Every gender is told how to feel and how not to feel, how to act and how not to act rather than just acting and feeling as they want to. The lives of human beings are plagued by these awful societal rules that are all meaningless. Despite the progress made in equality for men and women, double standards create inequality for both genders.

How does gender affect the student’s performance at my school? To figure out this question I am going to observe which gender out of boys and girls socialize the most and cause more disturbances during instructional hours of the day, interview four teachers on which gender do they believe cause more disruptions in the class, and ask boys how often do they spend time playing their game, or playing basketball outside, ask girls how much time do they spend time on Instagram, Facetime, or Snapchat, and ask how often will they study for a content assessment on a daily basis and track their performance in the

Gender inequality is a social problem that is widespread in society. It is referred to as the unfair treatment of individuals based on one 's gender. Historically, laws have opposed women to go to school, access certain jobs, and purchase property. Gender inequality has been experience through culture – honor-killing, sex-selective abortion, and society – occupation, gender roles, and education. The social expectations of men and women differ between cultures that are constructed socially and culturally. These expectations are displayed in roles, and behavior believed both by men and women and their interdependent relationships. Gender inequality can be further understood through the structure of sexism. Discrimination takes place in gender inequality for the reason that men and women are treated on the basis of gender alone (Amjad, R., Ashfaq, M., Kousar, R., Saghir, A., 2010).

As in single-sex school, since all peers are girls in girls’ schools and all classmates are boys in boys’ schools, there is no interaction between different genders inside the school in daily life. Rubén A. Gaztambide-Fernández, an assistant professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, has mentioned that “Single sex schools shelter the opportunity of social behaviors from students.”(Aschaiek, 2012).  On the other hand, many people think that the interactions between male and female students are too frequent in co-ed schools, which may cause unexpected and complicated relationships. In my personal opinion, it is true that there is not enough cross-gender interaction in single sex schools and there is too much interaction in co-ed schools. Therefore, In order to balance to the interactions between different genders to maintain a considerate relationship and healthy social life, applying the second solution of separate-gender classrooms in co-ed school is the best alternative to this issue. This could be further explained by increasing the activities between different genders in their break time after the separate-gender classes in co-ed schools.

Women are most likely to be discriminated for their gender and are made less than man in any type of activity in society. The men usually tries to make the women feel bad about their gender by telling them that they are not worth anything but in reality if a women decides to she can overcome all the obstacles even better than a men. Women are also different than men in the way they interact with each other (physically and socially). According to the author “In public places, men touch women more often than women touch men. Men also touch women in more places on the body than women touch men” (Andersen, 2015, pg.3). In our society the women’s reputation is always questioned or put to risk when performing any type of action. In many cultures
