[|Gender Roles] []
 * A. Gender is the behavioral, cultural, and physiological traits typically associated with ones sex. Many problems can arise, for example gender identity disorder. This is when someone might be confused about their gender or isn't happy with what their gender is. A good example of this would be a cross dresser. According to sociologists, 'gender' is an important tool in the planning, management, monitoring and cooperative projects which prove that women are in a relation to man in a socio-cultural setting and not as an isolated group. M any good things can come from gender. Gender gives specific jobs and traits to individuals. For example, usually males take on the heavy work, females take care of the "house work". In past times, gender decided many occupations for individuals. A bad thing would be if you were a girl and you didn't want to do "house work". Instead, you wanted to have a job and do the heavy work. Also, guys might not want to have a job. They might want to stay at home and take care of their kids. However, times are changing and everything is becoming more gender neutral. In the white-collar environment, women still struggle to get equivalent pay that a man would get for the same job. Today, men might also have to deal with problems in the work place. Because there are so many minorities in women, jobs might be limited for men. Age is the length of an existence extending from the beginning of any given time. Multiple problems can involve age, for example, ageism. This is when younger kids might talk and act like they are a lot older than they really are, and adults might act younger. However, age can also be a good thing. You have different roles and responsibilities for your age. Younger kids usually go to school and try to get good grades. Whereas, the adults work and succeed in life. In past times, age has always been an important part of someone's life. In the hunting and gathering age, men teach the younger males how to hunt when they hit a certain age. Eventually they will become old enough to go out and hunt on their own. Then when they are older, they teach younger males got to hunt. With women, they teach younger females how to gather fruits and vegetables. When these young females get to a certain age, they then can gather on their own. Then, when they are old enough, they can teach younger females how to gather. In more recent times, men and women struggle with age problems every day. A 16 year old girl would have more trouble finding a job than a 15 year old male. That's really good for males, but really bad for females. Also, males that might want to find a job in retail would have a hard time. However, girls would have an easier time finding a job like that.  **
