Synopsis

Bring your learning to life with compelling images, media and text from National Geographic. GENDER ROLES: A CROSS-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE will help you develop a clearer understanding of the world around you through engaging content. Access to a media-enhanced eBook is included with each reader. The eleven articles in this single-themed reader present a wide range of global perspectives on the issue of gender, exploring social and cultural influences on male and female roles and behavior, and how sometimes, those traditional influences can be overturned. Accompanying each article is a summary headnote, a bulleted list of points to think about when reading the article, and a set each of discussion questions, writing activities, and collaborative activities that will help you explore in more depth the important gender issues that this reader addresses.
