Gender Roles

A gender role is a set of social and behavioral norms that are generally considered appropriate for either a man or a woman in our society or our personal connections. For example, men are usually out working making money for the family while the females are staying at home cleaning and taking care of the family. There are differences in opinion as to how each gender is supposed to behave and how their personalities relate to the social norms and which are due to cultural or social factors. Therefore the product of socialization witch is the lifelong process of inheriting how to act and think for ourselves (Henslin. 2011. 62)  .

 In conclusion, no matter how successful women are becoming they will always be expected to have a small curvy bodies, cook and clean for there husbands. As well as men are always going to be seen being fit, successful making money, and controlling to their wife's.
