Make sure that you fill out the answers to the questions during the interview. Your Name: Person Interviewed: Gender _______ Relationship to me: _____ Age: ______ Interview Purpose: You are trying to find out two main things from the people you interview: 1.

Social: Are there different rules for men and women when it comes to dating? Are there different expectations when it comes to manners? Do men and women achieve popularity in different ways? Family: Are boys and girls treated differently by their parents? What are the expectations of siblings? Are brothers expected to do things that sisters are not, or vice versa? Are curfews the same for girls and boys? Media: How do TV commercials portray women and men differently? How do TV shows portray women and men differently?

• Answer:

  Gender: female. age27 Social: I don't think there are different expectations when it comes to manners but only depending on the situation. If a couple were out in a restaurant, expectations would be the same. If there were out as a couple with say the males friends, things might differ in that the male would be expected to be a bit lary and boisterous where as the woman would not. Men and women definately achieve popularity differently. With woman its looks and sexuality/flirting. With men its looks and sports/ other accomplishments. Family: Boys and girls are treated differently by parents with regards to dating, and curricular activities. I was never allowed to climb trees, do karate or ice hockey as a child but my brother was. Also I had to wait til a later age to date. With regards to curfew, it was relevant to age rather then gender Movies: I think movies, commercials and tv (depending on the genre) all portray woman as very feminine soft sexual characters and men as strong masculine figures. Gender is very clearly defined. Other: I think teachers treat genders the same - they have no other choice because of the setting there in. Personal appearance matters to evryone regardless of if they agree or not.its how we judge people before we have spoken to them.
