Document Summary
[sample question: [this actual question will not be on the exam] First formulation of kant"s c. i. is to act in such a way that everyone would find the best option / it is imperative that all people act in this way (because reason is universal). Gender is a social role, whereas a person"s sex is biological. "gender" refers to the normative psychological constructs of femininity and masculinity. It embraces sex roles ""played out"" in a social context, and typically includes culturally variable features such as style, language, and dress. The word "sex" refers to the biological aspects of maleness and femaleness: gametes (male sperm, female egg), chromosomes (xy, xx), the anatomy and functions of internal and external reproductive organs. Sex also refers--at least prima facie (at first glance) --to certain hormonal differences and to secondary sex characteristics. The term "sexual dimorphism" is used both of gender and sex.
