Gender Role

This topic comes from the sociology of gender, this is about how a person can self-identify her or his role in life, or in their relationships.
This is a very interesting topic because it's about how nowadays there's a feeling and an attitude to the woman that seems that comes from many centuries ago. I mean, there has been an advance, now women can work outside the house, but there are still gender roles that are established in the mind of the society.

Well, I started to search for this topic since I took an assignment about Human Rigths and the holocaust. One of the units of it was the role that women has in the relationship with men. It has been always a relation full of violence, symbolical and physical, 'cause men always had thought them-self as superior.

That is really interesting Pam. Hopefully things are changing for the better but I guess there is still a long way to go!
