“Even the new feminist research on sex-role socialization and sex differences has sometimes had the unfortunate consequence of creating a new set of stereotypes about what women feel and how women behave. Despite the large amount of overlap between the sexes in most research, the tendency to label and polarize and thus to exaggerate differences remains in much reporting of data, which may, for example, report the mean scores of male and female populations but not the degree of overlap.” FeelsMayMeanSometimesSexDifferencesRolesExampleAmountDegreesCreatingResearchConsequenceFemaleRemainsMalesPopulationFeministTendenciesDespiteDataLabelsBehaveReportsScoreSexismUnfortunateStereotypeSocializationSex Differences Author:Rosabeth Moss Kanter

“The most important difference between these early American families and our own is that early families constituted economic unitsin which all members, from young children on up, played important productive roles within the household. The prosperity of the whole family depended on how well husband, wife, and children could manage and cultivate the land.

“The beauty of when you watch good television or films is that, yes, you may have a multi-cultural cast but those roles could be anybody - they could be white, they could be black. To show the world that we have more in common than we have different with each other is to me the ultimate goal of all of that. It does help unite in people's mind the thought that people are the same. Yes, there's going to be cultural differences, but for the most part, we are all in the same gang as human beings.” PeopleWorldMindHumansMayDoeDifferentHelpingShowsFilmGoalBlackDifferencesHuman BeingsWhiteCommonRolesWatchesTelevisionUltimateCastsGangUltimate GoalCultural Differences Author:Mekhi Phifer
