Answer to Question 1

Gender refers to the culturally and socially constructed differences between females

and males found in the meanings, beliefs, and practices associated with femininity

and masculinity.. According to sociologists, social and cultural processes, not

biological givens, are the most important factors in defining what females and males

are, what they should do, and what sorts of relations do or should exist between them.

Virtually everything social in our lives is gendered. A microlevel analysis of gender

focuses on how individuals learn gender roles and acquire a gender identity. Gender

role refers to the attitudes, behavior, and activities that are socially defined as

appropriate for each sex and are learned through the socialization process. Gender

identity is a person's perception of the self as female or male. Typically established

between eighteen months and three years of age, gender identity is a powerful aspect

of our self-concept. Although this identity is an individual perception, it is developed

through interaction with others. As a result, most people form a gender identity that

matches their biological sex. Body consciousness is how a person perceives and feels

about his or her body it also includes an awareness of social conditions in society that

contribute to this self-knowledge.
