  5. Let’s Take a Look • Gender Roles Synthesis • Historically women have been viewed as intellectually and physically inferior to men. In today’s society, perceptions are slowly changing, but people debate whether the gender divide can disappear. Some think that it is a biological certainty that men and women behave differently while others believe that without societal influence the gender differences between men and women would cease to exist. • …In an essay that synthesizes at least three of the sources for support, take a position that defends, challenges, or qualifies the claim that gender is a social construct not rooted in biology.

  6. What is the Claim? Some think it is biological certainty that men and women behave differently. Some think it’s the societal influence. In the opinion of myself, I would think that gender is a social construct not rooted in biology.

  7. What is the Claim? “One of the largest debates of our generation is whether gender roles are social constructs or biological hard wiring. The claim that gender is a social construct is true.”

  8. What is the Claim? The influence of nature and nurture on gender roles in today’s society plays an enormous role in determining gender. Men and women are both psychologically and physically different. Gender roles are biologically based, but have been exaggerated by society in order to separate gender. I agree that it is a biological certainty that men and women behave differently; but, I also agree with the insight that without societal influence the gender differences between men and women would cease to exist.

  9. What is the Claim? Since the dawn of time the views upon gender roles are positions are always a touchy subject. The ideas of gender dominance or gender equality have been debated in every aspect of mannerism. Some say the gender divide is a natural one; a preconceived hardwiring of the brain while others blame society for this construct. Society and genetics, the two “suspects” for the creation of gender specific roles. Some blame one, while others believe the other one is at fault. In a sense both society and biology are to blame.

  10. What is the Claim? More often than not people claim gender is constructed by society rather than biology. If one does not resemble the type of man or woman that society believes you should, then it can lead to bullying, low self confidence, and much more. The outcome of not being what society wants you to be is the cause of why many men and women conform themselves to specifically please society.

  11. What is the Claim? Gender is rooted to everyone’s biology and not a social construct.

  12. What is the Claim? Gender plays a gigantic role in society. Determining who one really is, causes one to be defined by many. Yet there is many humans who are prevented by parents to approach there sexual identity.

  13. What is the Claim? In the world today, gender specific roles are still the topic of many debatable discussions. The constant question is always over whether biology or society (or both) is the reason for gender identities. The only thing biology contributes to this debate is by determining what is under the diaper. Gender identity is purely decided by the social and cultural aspect.
