Document Summary
Week (cid:1009): oct (cid:1010) discussion oct (cid:1010) - lecture 5 - school as. School is often a site where children learn to be a proper girl and a proper boy Biological: boys and girls essentially different from each other, not just physically but also in social roles they perform. Fail to take account of range for individual behaviour. Socialization theories: children develop gender identities from messages given by significant others, by observing and absorbing how people around them behave. Children are like sponges and act how they see others act. Relationships between individuals and social institutions inseparable, interdependent. In constructing identities, children make use of meanings that are available to them. Adults tend to pour their ideals and expectations into the children. Children are not seen as having any power or agency. The ideas of masculinity and femininity are different depending on your geographical and social location.
