Family

My family is nuclear. My family is matrilolity and also patrilocality because we live by both my moms family and dads family. There are a few patrilocal family members that live in california. My family likes to live relatively close because we have a lot of get togethers.

Gender

Gender norms play a very large role in out society. Boys like to act rough and tough around each other because they feel like they should. Girls feel the need the be cutesy and feminine in fear of being judged. While people may be surprising how they want to act, they hide those actions because they don't want to stand out. People still follow the stereotypical family where the man earns the bacon and the woman cooks it, but things are changing. While gender still influences our daily life and behaviors extremely, people who act differently are less judged than a few years ago.

Family

I live in a nuclear family, it's me, my brother, my mom, & my dad. We are matriarchal because my mom usually makes most of the decisions. We are neolocal.

Gender Norms

Gender norms are a huge force in our society. Boys tend to act different arounds other guys rather than girls. Girls, vice versa, are the same way. We as guys tend to be more tougher sounding while girls may have the tendency to sound more innocent. Some male norms include the obvious masculinity, staying in control, and that work is very important. On the other hand, women are usually portrayed as the main care givers for children. As shown, gender norms are not taught but are natural to us all.

Gender Norms

I think gender norms definitely play a role in our society today. Most girls and guys have particular stereotypes they put on each other that change the way genders are viewed. Most guys view girls as dumb and the less intelligent gender, where as most girls view guys as lazy and unemotional. It is unfair to categorize the genders like this because it puts an unfair advantage or disadvantage in play for both genders.

I live in an egalitarian nuclear family with five kids and two parents. We are a matrilocality because we live closer to my mom's parents than my dad's.

Socialization

For me family has played the biggest role in my socialization because almost everything I know I learned from them and my education is a close second. I think that the government and economy have contributed least so far because since I am still a minor I haven't contributed much yet to either of them.
