5. Week 04 : Gender and Family life


Hi. Class!

We have learned about gender differences and their impact on family.

Followings are what i think gender differences.

1. Males are generally heavier, taller and stronger than females.
2. Females are more emotional and express great intensity of emotion when compared to males.

3. Women are purported to have better communication skills than man
4. Women are more relationship-oriented than men.
5. Men are more competitive than women.
Absolutely, man and woman have similarities as a human being, but  I think that gender roles of male and females are completely different ,because of gender differences. But i think those what are supposed to be. God made these differences on his purpose. For example, these differences can be good features in a family. A wife's feminine traits make up for her husband's defects, and vice versa. They can help each other and function better as a unit called a family. This is why God made a man and woman fall in love in each other, not homosexual. So a wife should do what her spouse can't do as his wife and mother of her children, and vice versa. No one shouldn't blame each other's defects, and should play a role in his or her ability scope.  Fathers tend to play with, and mothers tend to care for, children. Fathers encourage competition; mothers encourage equity.  One style encourages independence while the other encourages security. But both provide security and confidence in their own ways by communicating love and physical intimacy. The point is their responsibilities are to strike a balance. A family member shouldn't play too many roles or too little roles. When family members devoted to each other and play their own roles depending on their traits, a family will be true heaven on the earth as God said. 

There is a quote from Dr. Pruett: "By 8 weeks of age, infants can tell the difference between a male or female interacting with them.  This diversity, in itself, provides children with a broader, richer experience of contrasting relational interactions—more so than for children who are raised by only one gender.  Whether they realize it or not, children are learning at earliest age, by sheer experience, that men and women are different and have different ways of dealing with life, other adults and children."

These are what I've learned in this week.
Have a good weekend.
