14.1- Introduction to Sociology/Gender

1) Summarization

Gender refers to the social, cultural, and psychological differences between males and females. While sex refers to biological differences such as genitalia and hormones, gender is a social construct with gender roles, expectations, and stereotypes varying across cultures and time periods. Efforts to promote gender equality include challenging gender norms, breaking down barriers to education and career opportunities, and promoting diversity and inclusivity.

2) What was interesting/what did you learn?

Through studying gender, I develop a greater understanding of social norms, power structures, and biases that impact society. also learn about opportunities to advocate for gender equity and work towards creating a more inclusive world.

3) Discussion points

How can we work towards creating a world where everyone, regardless of gender, has access to equal opportunities and resources?

Science & Futurism with Isaac 2_extra credit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRStfFOwcsM The video "What If The Dinosaurs Hadn't Died Off?" by AlternateHistoryHub explores a fascinating hypothetical scenario: what the world might look like if the dinosaurs had survived the catastrophic events that led to their extinction 66 million years ago. The video delves into various aspects of this alternate history, examining the potential impact on mammalian evolution, human development, and the planet's ecosystems. The video begins with a brief overview of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which wiped out the dinosaurs and allowed mammals to become the dominant life forms on Earth. It then explores the possible consequences if this event had never occurred. The narrative is engaging, combining scientific knowledge with imaginative speculation to paint a vivid picture of an alternate Earth. One of the most intriguing points discussed is how the survival of dinosaurs might have affected mammalian evolution. Witho...
