The life that an individual lives and the destiny that they come to could be determined by the sex of the person. Two perspectives that can show this are essentialism and social constructionism. The essentialism view looks male and females brains and how the structure of the brain are slightly different from one another. Along with that, the way the brains are ‘wired’ are different, male’s brains are better with “logic and visual spatial manipulation” which allows them to find jobs as “scientists

found in pairs or even trios. These penguins will go through the same mating habits as heterosexual penguins. Penguins are especially difficult to differentiate between female and male due to not have in noticeable characteristics associated with one sex. Many studies had to test the DNA of penguins to see if it was a female or male. In most studies the pairing of homosexual penguins is due to not having enough females, but there have been some documents of homosexual females. If this is true, why

Step 1. In raising baby bunnies successfully, begin by transferring your already pregnant doe (female rabbit) to a larger cage. The cage should be large enough to allow the mother and her expected litter of kits to coexist peacefully. Step 2. On the twenty-seventh day of the doe's pregnancy, five days before her due date, place the nest box, along with several handfuls of straw, into her cage. Keep a look out for when she'll begin pulling out her fur to line her nest. Step 3. The doe should give

I created a survey on google forms with pictures of both composite and natural faces. I surveyed 38 women aged 12-16 and 4 men 32-40. The data differed between the age and gender of the participants.

Our society often uses sex and gender interchangeably, but an important distinction needs to be made between these two terms. In biology, organisms are classified as either female or male based on their reproductive organs, chromosomes, and hormones. While sex is anatomically based, gender is more complex. It is a social construct encompassing the attributes and behaviors that society deems appropriate for that gender. Social norms in the Unites Stares reflect a gender binary, hence there are cultural

“People tend to use the terms “sex” and “gender” interchangeably. We assign a newborn’s sex as either male or female, based on their genitals. Once a sex is assigned, we presume the child’s gender. Someone born with a penis will be a boy and someone with a vulva will be a girl. For many people, this is cause for little, if any, concern or further thought.” Our society has a set of norms and if you do not follow them it becomes controversial and through most people's eyes “wrong.” Many people and

instead we are multisexed. Each persons genitalia is developed from exactly the same piece of tissue. “If you look at all the variables in nature that are said to determine human “sex,” you can’t possibly find one that will unequivocally split the species into two.” Gender is a socially constructed idea and while biological sex is a part of gender, it is not finite. In other words, being born with a penis or vagina does not biologically determine who you’ll be later on in life. People born with vaginas

Ever wonder why someone acts the way they do? Ever wonder how their brain works? The brain and gender have a lot to do with that. I hope to inform people and explain or answer some of the questions they might have about the brain or how or why someone acts the way they do. Multitasking, size, behavior and maturity level, 13 year old brain vs. 70 year old brain, and growth all play a factor in this. Multitasking is something the female brain can do at a higher level. Research has shown that the
