Written Report

This group was formed a result of close friendship. We bonded together socially and was

aware of the seriousness we each had in regard to education so we thought working together

would be a good decision. To select our theme, we brainstormed issues that the society faced and

came to the conclusion that in most areas gender role is a prominent issue. We then subdivided

different areas of society to formulate our topics e.g. education, religion, working world,

homelife and social life. In order to then select our artifacts, we used the process of elimination.

After we formulated here questions, we examined all 15 artifacts and selected the three that

effectively answered. The questions were formed were: how to individuals feel about their role?

How does one’s gender affect their chance at education and which gender is more affected by

music. The three artefacts selected were an article and two pictures.

Different roles were delegated to each member of the group. Shavelle was the first leader

who ensured we had or 3 artifacts and that reflection one was completed and given in on time.

The role was then passed on to Alecia Hemming who was responsible for ensuring or pan of

investigation under flection 2 where completed. Asley- Ann Collins Was responsible for weekly

meetings outside of SBA classes. Zayn Bernard and Kristen Sampson Both had the responsibility

of ensuring the group was at the pace of the teacher, peace was always kept and we were always

motivated. prize certain challenges faced by the group were not having a very great time to meet

outside of class due to our different class schedules and extra-curricular to overcome this we

used or only resource which was our cell phones, we formed a WhatsApp group and conducted

online meetings. We also had a challenge of finding all three artefacts that portrayed our topics
 Sampson2

effectively. There were times we found artefacts we thought were good but after meeting and

reviewing them as a group we had to go in search pf new ones. In order to complete this SBA to

the best of our ability we brainstormed as a group. We conducted lengthy discussions as we tried

to come to a unanimous decision as we progressed in its completion.

These three artifacts fully answered our questions. Picture 1 highlights how both genders

feel about their roles. The artefact depicts a man handing a broom to a young girl and a book to a

young boy. The man represents the expectations society has and supports of each gender. The

traditional roles of men and women are deeply encouraged. from the look on the picture you will

notice a look of exasperation and distraught on the young lady’s face and glee on the boy’s face

as he is handed the books. It is obvious that while men may enjoy their role of being the

breadwinner some women are not content with being just a housewife.

The article is composed of facts that answers a question previously asked in paragraph 1.

After doing multiple surveys studies show that contrary to popular beliefs, females are more

affected by dancehall music and more likely to act upon it. Even though males tend more openly

portray their agreement with the contents of dancehall studies show that the female population is

more likely to act upon what it is saying. The data presented concludes that music does influence

the behavioral pattern of both genders but females are more affected by it. Yes, one’s gender

does affect their chance at education. This issue was more prevalent in the 19th century however

there are still minority countries facing this problem today. In the picture you can see a man and

woman climbing a staircase. This staircase represents the education system. You also observe

that on either side the steps are shaped differently. The males are shaped like a quadrilateral

while the female’s is made from spheres. climbing the spheres represent the struggle it was and

is for some women. With each step there is great resistance and a high risk of digressing in the
 Sampson3

system instead of moving forward. Even though the goal is the same, the opportunities presented

are different. Society paves the way for men while women have to struggle to make their own

paths.
