Society and Gender Role Expectations

Introduction

Gender is more than an identity possessed by an individual; it is a process that structures social relationships and behavior in the aggregate. The social definition of gender represents the gendered expectations and experiences of men and women in a particular society at a particular point in time. The social definition of gender structures men's and women's relationships with various institutions.

Discussion

Discrimination can be observed in numerous ways such as gender and racial discrimination. A social system of domination or power abuse, replicated by discrimination, social practices of prejudiced ideologies and attitudes, is racisms.

Racial Discrimination

It is important to note that racial discourse may be taken to mean everything in bureaucratic, legalistic, economic, aversive, scientific, mythical, academic, ideological, linguistic, cultural, or religion.
