  11. 5.1Define Gender Diversity “Gender is the culturally specific set of characteristics that identifies the social behavior of women and men and the relationship between them”.

  12. 5.1 Gender, therefore, refers not simply to women or men, but to the relationship between them, and the way it is socially constructed.

  13. 5.1 Gender is: • Culturally specific set of characteristics • Identifies social behavior of men/women

  14. 5.1 Gender is: • Refers to the relationship between men/women • Analytical tool for understanding social processes

  15. 5.1 Because it is a relational term, gender must include women and men. Like the concepts of class, race and ethnicity, gender is an analytical tool for understanding social processes.”

  16. 5.1 Gender involves those social, cultural, and psychological aspects linked to males and females in particular social contexts. Gender is a social construct.

  17. 5.1 Regardless of your sex, you are affected by gender issues.

  24. 5.3 Men are regarded as the authority within the family and society and thus dominant over women and children.

  25. 5.3 Some sociologists and anthropologists believe that gender is not just one of many cultural diversities but it is the main diversity factor.

  26. 5.3 Instead of seeing women as a subculture under men as in a Patriarchal society, they see two distinct groups, with distinctive characteristics.
