Gender and Emotions

For a long time, men and women have been dealing with the controversy of gender roles. In modern day, the battle for gender equality has been more known. In the story “Guys Suffer from Oppressive Gender Roles Too”, the author Julie Zeilinger explains how males are held to a more macho standard, but do have prevalent emotions. If we were to let go of these rigid rules about what is manly, there would be no standard for any gender. If that was reality, men shouldn’t have to feel humiliated about staying home, and if their companion makes more money than they do. Zeilinger talks about how males detach themselves from some emotions, and live a “life nub to a true range of human emotion” so they can meet this masculinity standard. However if males

Western women are taught to support others and they feel that they shouldn’t experience or express envy or competitiveness. Not being able to express or even acknowledge the feelings can interfere with honest communication in interpersonal relationships.

Second, the daily activities of women report that they have more intense experience of emotions than men, more intense expression and comfort to seek out emotional experiences. Women also have greater emotional response, overall warmth, emotional expressiveness and concern for others, than men. Researchers also report that anger is found more in men than women (Costandi, 2013). Women have more intense style of emotional response than men, which would be expected to emerge in both positive and negative domains. In fact, emotional experience stems from the roles men and women fill in our society. Women are considered emotionally expressive and are more sensitive to others’ needs while men are less emotionally responsive (Costandi, 2013). Women and men’s personal history of enacting social roles effect skills and attitudes. Prior experiences build different emotional skills and attitudes, in both and women equally.

For thousands of years, established gender roles have been a part of our society. Women are commonly known as sensitive, emotional, or passive. On the contrary, men are described as rational, competitive, independent, or aggressive. Believing women are more emotional than men is stereotyping. However, the stereotype is not entirely untrue. Development of gender roles is often conditioned more by environmental or cultural factors than by hereditary or biological factors. The development of gender roles between men and women involves the inference of peer community of each gender, the communication style of male and female and the intimacy or connection level of men and women.

Only one participant at a time would see the videotape. The participants were assured their responses was anonymous and only used for academic research. Then they were taken to one for the partitioned areas to view the strong or mild version of the advertisement for the stun gun. The dependent variable consisted of a questionnaire that asked nature of the ad, attitudes toward the ad and attitude toward the brand. The ethicality of the ad was measured with the Reidenbach and Robin multidimensional ethics scale. The moral dimension was measured by statements such as fair or unfair. Other attitudes was measured by a six point scales such as yes, no and definitely. The attitudes toward this particular was also measured on a six point scale. The intent to purchase was measured on a six point item scales such as I plan to purchase this. To make sure participants were paying attention they were also asked how the ad made them feel. The participants final task included a six point scaled on how confident they felt using the stun gun. The variables were operationally defined by participants, questionarrie,Reidenbach and Robin scale and the

The issue of gender stereotypes is a complex one. When people think about this problem, they think that men and women have to have certain roles in society. The gender stereotype that women are more emotional than men is a very common gender stereotype that is a problem in our society. This stereotype was most common around 1952, yet the stereotype still occurs today through the media. Judging a women to be the more emotional gender is bad for society because it shapes the woman into being that stereotype. Even though the stereotype that women are more emotional than men is often portrayed through society and the media, men are just as emotional as women.

In the article, it makes great reference to the pressure that men go through to be masculine. At a young age boys are taught to never show emotion. It is thought to be unmanly to show emotion and be sensitive. Mothers show the sensitive caring side while the father is thought to show the rough and discipline side of parenting. When boys show the sensitive side, it is though that they are around their mother too much and need to pull away so they can see what it’s like to be a man. Boys aren’t usually allowed

“MAN UP! Men don’t cry” are words that sound all too familiar to me; I was told this while growing up as a young boy in America. I, along with majority of males in the United States, were taught that crying or showing any form of sadness was a females trait. Society believes that a man should be mentally strong, and showing those

In her text Passionate Men, Emotional Women: Psychology Constructs Gender Difference in the 19th Century, historian Stephanie A. Shields delineates the ways in which the Western modern project required in its logic of construction a need to create and reproduce an epistemological, discursive, and pseudo-scientific dichotomous relationship between the genders. Specifically, Shields emphasizes the ways in which a certain dogmatic praxis of evolutionary theory, in juxtaposition with social science, worked to produces a science of psychology that in turn generated a hierarchical understanding of gender relations, premised on the politics of emotions and the mind/body divide.

The emotional differences of men and women vary in temperaments of emotion which indicates a disconnection in communication, moral motivation, stereotypes, and chemical reactions in the brain.

The male and female composure has many differences that make up the structure of the society we cherish. There are contradicting features between a man and woman. Men are stamped by muscular platforms that complement rigid labor. Women are slightly less muscular, but more flexible and emotional in work. The female body has a wonderful gift of birthing a child. Creating a life within her womb is what allows both sexes to co-exist today. Men have the key that allows the beginning of a youngling within females? ovaries. A man tends to be less emotional than a woman due to higher testosterone levels in his genetic make up. Women have higher levels of estrogen moreover testosterone, which gives way to a more compassionate lifestyle. Ability to sense smell, touch, taste, sight, and sound is stronger

Strength and pain tolerance are not only a factor with identifying gender, but emotional expression between genders is a big debate amongst society as well. Men are thought to be the ones to have a

Marketing and advertising play a major role in the promotion of companies and products in the United States. Consumers are constantly surrounded by advertisements by means of television and radio commercials, billboards, magazines, and even social media. But how exactly do companies appeal to their consumers? My topic explores the different strategies used to persuade everyday people to use a certain product or service. One of the biggest effective strategies used in advertising is by appealing to the audience’s emotions. I chose to analyze two different sources for my research. The first source is called Emotional Moneymaker: Why Advertisers Need to Appeal to Emotions, and it talks about emotion-based

There was a time when advertisement were made only to market and sell the products but now dramatic changes have taken place in this field (Shead and Dobson 01). Today companies not only want to sell their products but also aim to create emotional attachment with the customers for which they do emotional or subliminal advertising.

No one would argue the fact that men and women are physically different. The physical differences are rather obvious and most of these can be seen and measured easily. Men, who are essentially built for physical confrontation and the use of force, usually have greater upper body strength, build muscle easily, have thicker skin, and mostly use the left side of their brain. Women on the other hand, have a higher percentage of body fat, and a wider pelvis. Women also have four times as many brain cells connecting the right and left side of their brain. This provides physical evidence that supports the observation that men rely easily and more heavily on their left brain to solve one problem one step at
