on how a boy or girl is treated throughout their school life compared to the other. For example, in the 1960’s/70’s, sociologists were concerned with the apparent underachievement of girls. It wasn’t simply due to a lack of ambition; back then it was the norm for women to marry, and it was almost socially unacceptable for women to reach higher education, thus girls may have felt pressured in lower education to have less of a strive towards educational success than boys did. Far fewer girls studied

just spontaneous and unrelated from the show as a whole; rather it built on the already established balanced norm that the show established since the very first episode. The Brady Bunch took great strides to maintain equilibrium between the boys and the girls – a mother with three daughters, a man with three sons, and the additional woman, Alice, substance a moderate position and generally does not take sides. Episode 19 of the second season, ‘The Liberation of Marcia Brady’ discusses feminism, but

effective pathos and ethos but is ineffective in his use of logos in this article. In the 1960’s and 70’s, high school students used to have “rules” they went by. Lewis states they are “rules”-boy calls girl, boy asks girl out, boy drives to girls house, boy talks to girls dad, boy takes girl to movies, boy has her home by eleven(or else)-were viewed as restrictive and old-fashioned, not to mention sexist.

Telling a boy “big boys do not cry” may create an emotionally stunted boy. Society allows girls to express their emotions but boys must keep them inside. While society does not blink an eye when a boy aspires to becoming an auto

January 2015 Coming of Age The two stories that I will be discussing are “Araby,” by James Joyce and “Boys and Girls,” by Alice Munro. Both stories illustrate for us in both positive and negative elements the idea of growing up, and coming of age. Both of these authors used a great amount of literary elements to give us the concept of coming of age.

coming of age of a young boy into manhood, all set within the backdrop of a birthday party. While each of these poems describe the different roles in which men and women can act on, both Piercy and Olds make the point that there are pressures that come with fitting into the right character. Furthermore, both poems’ messages extend into today’s society as many young adolescents struggle with achieving the fixed notions of femininity and masculinity. Both women and girls are socialized into society’s

school and body mass index (BMI) for low-income boys and girls in the 8th grade during 2007. Results reveal that participating in school sports is associated with a 0.55 lower BMI score for boys.
