Continuing on with our genre studies conversation. I want everyone to start thinking about your "place" as a male or female. We talked about how some of us are wives, sons, daughters, fathers etc. We only scratched the surface of what it means to be an individual based on our gender. I want you to start examining things around you; the way things work. How are men and women viewed in our society, media, work, sports, entertainment etc... ??? Beginning thinking about things like "double standards", "patriarch" , "sexuality" in these mediums. Familiarize yourself with these terms so that you have a clear understanding about your next writing topic.
Key Words: Gender Studies, Patriarchy vs. Matriarchy, Double Standards
Read: Woman Hollering Creek by Sandra Cisneros (Found In Readings Link)

Start thinking about a subject you would like to explore for your next writing assignment.
FYI: For those of you interested in writing about economics, let me know about a specific subject that you're interested in. Unfortunately their too many political arenas that we can discuss in order for me to focus on one particular thing, and for that I apologize in advanced.
