Q:1: Difference in role/jobs of men and women?

Historically, men and women have been assigned

different roles and jobs in society based on gender stereotypes
and societal expectations. While this has been changing over
time, there are still some differences in the types of roles/jobs
that men and women tend to hold. Some of the differences in
role/jobs between men and women include:
I. Occupation: There are certain occupations that are
traditionally dominated by men such as engineering
construction, carpenter, lawyer etc. While others are
traditionally dominated by women such as nursing,
teaching, air or bus hostess and receptionist etc.
II. Leadership positions: Men tend to hold more leadership
positions in public and private sectors, such as CEOs,
Politicians and Executives.
Q:2: Difference in topics of interest between men and women?
It’s important to note that any differences in topics of
interest between men and women are largely influenced by
societal expectations and cultural norms, rather than inherent
biological difference between the sexes.
For example: studies have shown that men tend to be more
interested in topics related to sports, politics, economy,
agriculture, cars and technology while women tend to be more
interested in topics related to cooking, gossiping, designing,
fashion, relationship, health etc. However, it’s important to
remember that these are just general trends and that there is a
great deal of individual variation. Men and women can have a
wide range of interests and hobbies.

people. Stereotypes can be based on a range of characteristics,
including gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age, sexual,
orientation and social class.
Q:5: Is language a product of society?
Yes, language is a product of society. Language is
created, used and passed down through social interaction
within a community. The structure, vocabulary and grammar of
a language reflect the cultural norms, values and beliefs of the
society in which it is used.
Language is constantly evolving and changing to reflect the
needs and values of the society that uses it. New words and
phrases are created and old words, meanings can shift over the
time. Furthermore, language is a fundamental component of
social interaction and is used to convey meaning and establish
social relationships.
Q:6: Does role of men and women differ across the culture
claims?
Yes, the roles of men and women can differ across
cultures. Cultural norms, values and beliefs can have a
significant impact on the roles and expectations of men and
women within society. Some cultures place a greater emphasis
on gender equality and may have more fluid role for men and
women, while other cultures may have more rigid gender roles
and expectations. For example: In some Western cultures it is
increasingly common for men to take on traditionally
“Feminine” roles such as parenting and household chores,
while in many traditional societies these roles are primarily
assigned to women. Another example: Women’s beliefs and
actions in Morocco are different from the women’s in England
and also their thoughts and behaviors are different. In Muslim
society, boys are given more independence and freedom and
are expected to achieve or occupy different roles and positions.
