Book Description
The opportunity to pen this introduction to my debut book, "GENDER, SCHOOL AND SOCIETY," is one that fills me with excitement. Consideration of gender in social issues is the topic of this book. Being a boy or a girl has varied implications and experiences in different cultures, eras, and communities. Due to centuries of discrimination, she learned to view herself as a lesser human being and an insignificant tool in the hands of her male counterpart. Her sense of self and confidence were slowly eroded as a result. The more she tried to hide her inner emotions, the more entangled her authentic self became in her predetermined social roles. For almost twenty years, organisations worldwide and governmental strategy statements have prioritised the reduction of gender disparity. In addition to guaranteeing women's right to vote and other civil liberties, the Constitution of India also allows for positive discrimination on the part of the state in favour of women. Our democratic government has enacted laws, development policies, plans, and programmes to help women succeed in a variety of fields. To further ensure women's rights, India has signed on to and ratified a number of international agreements and human rights instruments.

Sex, Gender and Society
Author: Ann Oakley
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351900919
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
What are the differences between the sexes? That is the question that Ann Oakley set out to answer in this pioneering study, now established as a classic in the field. To answer it she draws on the evidence of biology, anthropology, sociology and the study of animal behaviour to cut through popular myths and reach the underlying truth. She demonstrates conclusively that men and women are not two separate groups: rather each individual takes his or her place on a continuous scale. She shows how different societies define masculinity and femininity in different and even opposite ways, and discusses how far observable differences are based on biology and psychology and how far on cultural conditioning. Many books have discussed these vital issues. None, however, have drawn on such an impressively wide range of evidence or discussed it with such clarity and authority. Now newly reissued with a substantial introduction which highlights its continuing relevance, this work will continue to inform and shape dialogues around sex and gender for a new generation of scholars and students.

Education and Society
Author: Thurston Domina
Publisher: University of California Press
ISBN: 0520295587
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
Drawing on current scholarship, Education and Society takes students on a journey through the many roles that education plays in contemporary societies. Addressing students’ own experience of education before expanding to larger sociological conversations, Education and Society helps readers understand and engage with such topics as peer groups, gender and identity, social class, the racialization of achievement, the treatment of immigrant children, special education, school choice, accountability, discipline, global perspectives, and schooling as a social institution. The book prompts students to evaluate how schools organize our society and how society organizes our schools. Moving from students to schooling to social forces, Education and Society provides a lively and engaging introduction to theory and research and will serve as a cornerstone for courses such as sociology of education, foundations of education, critical issues in education, and school and society.

Sex, Youth, and Sex Education
Author: David Campos
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1576077772
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
An authoritative reference that discusses the history of sex education and its ramifications in the United States. Community and school officials, parents, and educators often stay to the wee hours of the night at PTA meetings arguing about sex education and sexual behavior among young people. While some groups preach abstinence and attempt to sign as many youngsters as possible to their rosters, it remains a fact that 50 percent of U.S. teenagers, beginning at age 15, are sexually active. Sex, Youth, and Sex Education is a wonderfully crafted resource that gives not only a statistical overview of sexual activity in schools, but also examines sex education, the scourge of sexual violence in schools, and sexuality among selected groups of youngsters. What emerges is a groundbreaking work for educators and students of sociology, psychology, and education. This work brings to light the fascinating—not to mention ubiquitous—world of sexuality among today's youth and its impact on parents, school personnel, policymakers, and society.
