Document Summary

Section 1 identify/define/explain: provide one feminist critique of globalisation discourse at the institutional level, definition of masculinities, according to r. w. connell. Masculinities" are not the same as men". Masculinity is constructed by society and can be changed. Women have a role in constructing masculinities through their interaction with men. Men have pressures to be tough guys, to be strong, to be independent and powerful. The way men are portrayed through media outlets is as strong, and violent. Races are objective, naturally occurring divisions of humanity. There is a strong relationship between biological races and other human phenomena. Race is therefore a valid scientific category that can be used to explain and predict individual and group behaviour. Arthur gobineau wrote an essay in 1853-1855 that said that biologically particular groups were more superior to others. Charles darwin"s book the descent of man made strong suggestions of racial differences and european superiority.
