Subject: CHapter 6 - Gender Differences Around the World

Chapter 6 highlights gender differences around the world might be a very interesting topic, as the differences that a teacher might face with a multicultural classroom. There is the old fashion sexism that says that women are weaker than men. I ejoyed the cartoon wehre the woman is taling to the man and says, "So according to the sterotype,you can put two and two together , but I can read the handwriting on the wall". Maybe I liked it because I am a woman, but the reality is there are some things that a woman can not do. This is not sexism, but physical capability. The truth of the matter is that there are differences in gender whether biological factors, or sociocultural factors of both. This is not a myth, for in 1990 when I was given an assignment to go to Japan to work the issue of gender can up and a caucasion male was assigned as the head contact person because the culture did not have a lot of respect for women and/or blacks. It okay to work in the background but I could not be the primary contact person. It make me wonder about the classroom. there was a time when young men were told to be gentlemen let the woman go first, but what now. On top of sterotyping the Asians as being very smart the focus is on the male and not the female. So yes there are physical differences as well as cognitive and socioemotional differences.
