Discussion Due today at 10 pm

I found it interesting that men are most vulnerable to diseases, illnesses, injury, and death. I can see why, because males have a more aggressive attitude towards them and will take more risks if they have to or even simply want to. Males also are more involved in dangerous (climbing towers, construction, police officer, etc.) and hard physical labor than women are. Also, as children males tend to be more active and active in physical play and females are more calm and play with dolls and board games. Close friendships are more important to females than they are to males. It connects to the fact of how males are more prone to injury and are more aggressive; it starts at an early age. In addition to what I found interesting, from a young age, children learn their gender roles from observing and through watching television. Also, by the way your parents raise you and reward you for appropriate gender behaviors. That is also what I learned in this video and will take with me for when I eventually become a parent. I will reward my children for positive appropriate gender behaviors because that is the process of raising them into a good man or woman. As well as giving them chores to do around the house to instill the gender role and experience into their lives. I disagree with the fact that one of the female roles are that they are dependent. Maybe in the past, but today women are independent and do not need someone to support them; just like everyone else. They work and have their own income and there are many women out there who live on their own.
