Semester “Fall 2011”
“Introduction to Sociology” (SOC101)”
Assignment No. 02 Marks: 15
“Gender socialization”
Background Information
In most of the higher species, males and females behave differently in some respect. With
cultural explanation, these gender roles differ and deeply imbedded in social structure of
society. This suggests that male and female behavior is socially constructed and in some
way cultures through social institutions endorse these practices. In traditional societies
like Pakistan these differences are more evident and socializing agents reinforce the
existing patterns of thought and behavior. Children being the important members of
society also internalize these expected roles. With reference to the given scenario attempt
the following assignment.
Task you have to Perform:
You are required to ask two children (one boy and one girl 10-12 years old) about their
interests and professions they want to adopt in future. And make a list of the interests
specified by both separately.
Questions:
1. Analyze the interest of both being male and female members of the society
and evaluate how the specified interests and professions mentioned by these
children reinforce traditional gender role socialization of our society? 5
2. Is it strengthening the existing norms or changing our society? 5
3. What main factors or agents do you think contribute in strengthening and
changing these roles? 5
