Assignment

Forum Question: Define sex and gender and distinguish between the two. While most people conceive of sex and gender as referring to the same thing, you should discuss an example in which "sex" is commonly used and believed to be "natural," but gender is actually the more accurate description of this example. Why is this example not natural and given? Why is gender the more correct concept?

Objectives examined:

* Distinguish the concept of culture as learned, shared behavior.
* Appraise the differences between sex and gender, cross culturally.
