Does gender matter
Fads
are always changing, same with the world and science. Little do we know and
understand is that our research is based on a lot of the opinions and perspective
of the times. For example if there are conflicting topics research is hard to
do because no one wants to do research that could create more contention and
prove that one side is wrong. One of the biggest topics that is under research
is homosexuality. Homosexuality has been a topic of discussion for along time
and has received much heated discussion from both sides of the political system
going for and against it. A lot of the research has become outdated making it
hard to know and understand what is best to do. As well those that did do
research made claims that were not true and were blown out of proportion that
has not had the opportunity to be corrected. One of those being is the claim
that being homosexual is passed through genetics. They found later that claim
is not true. As well if it was true that means identical twins has the exact
genes. That being if one was homosexual then the other twin would be homosexual
as well one hundred percent of the time. But they found that it was a lot
lower. It was found that the other twin would be homosexual ten to fifteen
percent of the time. That showing that genetics don’t have a deal in
homosexuality. That being it is not impossible but the studies done at this
point in time there is no proof that shows that it is. Instead the research is
showing that it is actually the opposite.
Another big item that is under research
is how important genders are. A big controversy today is the importance of
gender. A lot of parents decide to raise their children without them being a specific
gender to allow them to choose later in life. But they are having a hard time
doing this successfully. Many parents give their children the same gifts and
the results are fascinating. A common thing found is the girls take very well
care of their gifts and often use their gifts as a parent and being very kind
to the toys they were given. But on the other hand, the boys are a different
story. They treat the toys very rough and are always using their toys as guns
and using it to destroy everything. The parents are distraught when this
happens. They are always in shock when finding and seeing this. They are
shocked because they never taught their kids this behavior and can never figure
out where it comes from. Their plan to let the kids decide always back fails.
It seems that even from a young age there are key characteristics for both
genders.
As well that shows that male and
female minds are extremely different. Our minds are different in many ways. Men
are found to be more protective and focused on providing for their loved ones
and family. And on the other habd women are found to be the opposite and are
great nurture and teachers. That meaning that the roles cannot be switched or
learned. But naturally more often than not we are more wired naturally that
way.
As we can see there is a lot of
research that is old and needs to be updated. We need to stop focusing on what
we think and what’s the culture thinks and trust science. It is ok if there is science
done on controversial topics. More often then not we can learn from the
research that is performed.
