Hers: Childhood Roots

273 Words1 Page

The thesis of the essay, "His Marriage and Hers: Childhood Roots" by Daniel Goleman, is the emotional difference between men and women. The author, through various research, has concluded that these differences can be traced back to the way children are raised. While I agree that the men and ladies respond diversely to enthusiastic encounter, I should differ to a portion of the examination that was led.
Take for occurrences, section 9, "men are somewhat Pollyannaish about the condition of their marriage, while their spouses are sensitive to the inconvenience." This is not generally so for one side or the other. It is increasingly that couples need to take in the dialect of the other individual and recollect what it took to get the individual

    1077 Words  | 3 Pages

    As we grow up, people experience different ways of how to express themselves as an individual, especially how to express their emotions to others. Depending on how we are raised, we stereotype boys to be strong and sturdy while girls are gentle and sweet. In both their respective articles, “Defining a Doctor” and “His Marriage and Hers: Childhood Roots,” Zuger and Goleman compare and contrast the different ways of how each gender showcases their behavior and emotion to others. In “Defining a Doctor,” Zuger observes two interns and notices how differently they approach their patients by using their emotion. In contrast, Goleman in “His Marriage and Hers” defines the separate emotional worlds between boys and girls and how their upbringings are

  • Analysis Of Hope Edelman's The Myth Of Coparenting

    1355 Words  | 3 Pages

    In her essay “The Myth of Coparenting: How it is supposed to be. How it is,” Hope Edelman discusses the issues that she faces when dealing with marriage roles. According to her descriptions, her husband doesn’t play an active role in their domestic life and only focuses on his career. Edelman often gets into arguments with him over his disinterest and lack of contribution to home life. She responds to this lack of interest by buying a swing set along with other items against the husband’s wishes. Similarly, Eric Bartels’ essay “My Problem with Her Anger” discusses the effects of marital roles from the husband’s perspective. He argues that although he is not the most active with domestic life, he does contribute. Bartels claims that his wife’s anger makes it hard for the family to function. Bartels proves his dedication to their family by showing how he gives up drinking beer in order to dedicate more time to helping out around the house. Both Edelman and Bartels express love for their children and frustration at their spouse. As a result of this, references to the swing set in Edelman’s essay and to beer in Bartels’ essay reveal that when there is a disagreement between the husband and wife in a marriage, it is possible that one of the partners will express their emotion through rebellion against his spouse

  • Essay On Love

    1176 Words  | 3 Pages

    One view comes from Nancy Chodorow who defines the idea of love in feminine qualities. Mary Ryan suggests that love was feminized by the separation of home and workplace in the nineteenth century (522). Nancy Chodorow view was that at birth males and females have a strong attachment with their mothers. As both children grow differences take place in the male since they have to men they repress their capacity for intimacy but, in females they keep the connection for intimacy as they grow up to be women (522). Also Chodorow discussed that men see themselves as separate although women see themselves as connected to others and this cycle will continue if women continue to be the primary caretaker. Mary Ryan discussed that love began to be feminized as a result of the separation between men and women at home. Ryan’s perspective argued that both men and women were expected to work hard, be modest, and loving towards their spouse and children who basically stated that love was a reciprocal ideal (pg522 para3). Once capitalism came about money making left the household. The activities between men and women grew apart as the man worked all day to provide for his family while the woman stayed home with the children. As this separation grew more and more apart the world began to view the loving and personal environment at home as feminine and the powerful impersonal environment of the workplace to be masculine.

  • The 5 Love Language Book: The Five Love Languages

    Another thing that the author talked about that stood out to me was how real and accurate the primary love languages are. One of the husbands that he talked to thought that he was doing everything he could to make his marriage work. He did all of the house chores, he cooked dinner, he cleaned, he drove the kids everywhere and he was still confused why his marriage was in trouble. The couple went and talked to the author of this book and discovered the importance of love languages. The husband realized that while he was doing his best to make his wife feel loved, she just didn’t because she wasn’t being loved in her primary language. Looking back, he realized he was acting as if her primary love language was acts of service, doing things around the house and getting everyday things done to make her feel loved. But acts of service was not her primary love language at all. It was in fact, quality time. None of the little chores and things he did for her spoke love to her. All she wanted was to spend time together, to not be focused on anything else besides each other. Finally, he realized that once he started spending quality time together, their marriage

    When we see young girls we tend to think of them as princesses, and when we see young boys we tend to think of them as rough and tumbled. Parents and society contribute to these gender related messages that are carried on throughout children’s lives. Even in the twenty first century, parents and society have different expectations for children based on their sex. And why shouldn’t they, boys and girls are emotionally different. Gender roles have been passed on through generations, and will most likely continue to do so.
