Task #1: We had to read 11.2 (page 434-447) Task #2 We were told Research how culture plays a part in gender differences. Provide information on two different cultures and their unique perspectives on gender roles/identity. Don't forget to cite and link your sources. Gender roles in Japan In the article that I have read, the Japanese culture still involves the woman staying home and not interfering with the mans work or business. The woman usually will mostly stay home and do the cooking and the cleaning and taking care of the children or their parents who are sick or just too old to live by their self while the husband is the major bread winner. The Japanese culture now is compared to the 1950's America. Even though the gender equality are slowly evolving they still don't even compare to the equality in the Japanese culture. http://jkephartjapan.weebly.com/blog/gender-roles-in-japanese-society Website: http://jkephartjapan.weebly.com/blog/gender-roles-in-japanese-society Gender Roles in Brazil In this article it explains that the woman will only usually make around 75% of what the average male will make. The woman of this culture will also not have the same job opportunities that the men do in the work force. The women were only given the adult rights during the 1960's so they still do not get a big say around the house and during work. Around the house the men and women have traditional job such as the women cooks cleans and tends to the children; while the husband will go to work come home and do the repair and outside "manlier" jobs.

The schools have to offer but not make the students take a sex ed course from K-12 to be sure that they get the proper education and live a healthy life. The government has put around $1.5 billion into the abstinent-only-until-marriage-fund. http://cache3.asset-cache.net/xt/78488306.jpg? v=1&g=fs1%7C0%7CSTK%7C88%7C306&s=1 Website: https://www.aclu.org/reproductive-freedom/sex-education Sweden's teaching of sexual education
In Sweden, the attitude towards sexual education is looked at as a liberal point of view. The family and sex education has been taught in schools since the 1950's. seeing how the age of consent is 15, The Swedish people aren't as hard on the "sex can wait" philosophy as American people are. They have free abortions and condoms so they are not very caring about sexual activities. Website: http://sti.bmj.com/content/78/5/352.full
