How would you define 'gender' as a teacher? Correct Answer Physical aspect

As a teacher, you have to understand various issues related to gender so that you can impart and explain to students and practice them in a positive manner.

  • Infants learn to see themselves as girls and boys in their cultures. This process of sex-role identity is based on the differential, often unequal, and discriminatory treatment that leads to the formation of low negative self-concept in girls, and a low negative self-concept among girls not only inhibits their self-expression and achievements but is transmitted inter-generationally (from mothers to daughters)

Key Points

  • Gender is the cultural definition of sex-role appropriate behavior and defines it as a physical aspect.
  • One is born male or female but it is one's culture that makes one masculine or feminine.
  • Gender is associated with traits and characteristics that are transmitted from one generation to another and they vary from culture to culture.
  • Gender differentiation is more ancient, more widespread than any other type of social differentiation.

Thus, it is concluded that as a teacher gender is defined as a physical aspect.

Hintsex refers to the biological differences between male and female bodies, while gender refers to everything else that goes into making us “men” and “women” – social and cultural processes, economic and political structures.

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives. One should consciously engage in activities that will nourish your soul. Just as we nourish the body, we need to nurture the soul to connect to the creative power ofthe universe and to manifest joy in our lives. Often, we forget to address the soul, lost as we are in a jungle of material and sensual pleasures. But the more youembrace what feeds your soul, the happier you become. So if you want to enjoy the abundance of life, engage in what enriches your soul. Nurturing the soul is allabout finding calm amidst chaos. There are a number of practices that empower people towards this end including silent contemplation, various forms of meditation,yoga and tai chi However, the rigor and discipline involved in the pursuit of such practices often seems to discourage people. Add to this, the temptations of thematerial world that leave little time and motivation for anyone to pursue the spiritual path. Poet Walt Whitman declared: “Whatever satisfies the soul is truth”. Thegood news is that simple, everyday activities can also nutrify the soul — like spending time in the midst of nature, dancing in the rain or just putting thoughts onpaper. Do whatever is calming and pleases you. Creative pursuits are particularly appealing as inside each one of us, there is an artist craving for release andawaiting an opportunity for expression. One of the ways to indulge the artist within is to get started with the practice of any one or more of the creative art formssuch as music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction or essay writing. When you engage in such soul nourishing activities, all thought and energy gets focused toward goal accomplishment. At this point, you will find that even unknownforces of the universe are conniving to assist you in your amateurish but sincere attempts. As you progress, you are motivated to do better. You touch and access afaculty, a part of you that you never knew existed. Your inner artist is unleashed, baring the beauty of your soul that has found a fond medium of expression. Forinstance, a sculptors soul is seen in his artwork; a musicians in his compositions; an actors in his acting, a painters in his paintings and so on. It is immaterialwhether your effort is an immaculate artwork or just a clumsy attempt by a layperson. The idea is to try, be inspired and to create giving free rein to the mind.
