Sex Gender

Sex Gender and Biology



We describe ourselves in many different ways. One of the most fundamental ways is to say “I am man or I am women “. That is to describe oneself in term of biological sex. When a biological given sex (Maleness and Femaleness) is used as the basis for constructing a social category, we call it gender. “Although many people use the terms “sex “and gender interchangeably, they do not have the exact same meaning. Sex is biological concept gender is a social construct. It may be that few of your socially defined characteristics relating to gender describe you accurately but this perhaps is less important than the fact that people beliefs treating women and men differently even as opposites.


Significantly this differentiation occult not only on an interpersonal level between individuals’ but also on a structure level within a given society. Every society prescribes traits, behaviors and patterns of social interaction for its members on the basis of sex. These prescriptions are embedded in the institutions of the society in its economy, political system, educational system, religion family forms and so on. This institutionalized patterns’ of gender differentiation is referred to as a society’s sex /gender system to examine sex/gender system.
