- Select a specific culture that is not your own. Using the Internet, research gender roles for this culture.
- Think about how each of the different theories of gender development might explain the development of the gender roles in the culture you have selected and for your own culture. Your text explores psychodynamic approaches, social learning theory approaches, and cognitive theory approaches.
The assignment (1–3 pages):
- Briefly describe the specific culture you selected, focusing on the gender roles of both males and the females.
- Compare (similarities and differences) the gender roles in the culture you selected with the gender roles in your own culture. Use clear, concrete examples to make your comparisons.
- Apply one of the following theories to explain the development of the male and the female role in each of the two cultures (your own and the culture you selected). Again, use clear, concrete examples to illustrate your points. Be sure to include development of gender roles in at least three different areas of life (e.g., family, work, community, etc.)
- Select your theory from the following:
