SOCB22H3 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Noble Savage, Social Constructionism, Essentialism
Document Summary
Explain and illustrate your explanation with an example. For example, the portrayal of women is linked to nature. Nature is wild and needs to be tamed and so humanities control and dominate nature just like how men dominate womens bodies by telling her what to wear even though an attire like a corset is restricting and can be harmful. Men are seen as more rational and believe that the other is underdeveloped and not as logical and hence why they believe themselves to be more superior. So the power they have over women is gender hierarchy. Privilege over other (hierarchal) and superior over other (hierarchal). Women are the other to men and to be human is to be masculine so it leaves femininity as the other. Name, explain, and illustrate two aspects of west and zimmerman"s theory.
