Gender_Roles

Gender Roles Child’s play has been a part of our culture since the beginning of time and is distinguished as a part of growing up. The world of play is an important aspect in the lives of our children. It is an introductory step into adulthood. When asked the question: Does swapping toys change the basic differences in the ways the genders approach play, my answer would have to be that it doesn’t. Our biological make-ups have created boys and girls to have very distinctly different characteristics. These characteristics are very innate and draw a fine line between the way we behave. Girls on one hand have more caring and nurturing qualities. They tend to be more loving and understanding and that is why they were given the role of mothers. Boys on the other hand are a hard, coarse type and are ever more competitive than girls. This aggressive behavior is a direct result from higher testosterone levels found in boys. These considerably different characteristics play an important role in the way genders perceive and approach play.
