APOSTOLATE You have a charity heart. It shows in your ministerial commitment to the poor and the marginalized when working with Sisters of Charity. I encourage you to connect what you are studying now with one of the SVD dimensions and develop it as a focused theme on art/media/web. RELIGIOUS LIFE I think you live according to the religious vows, especially poverty and obedience. These show in your communication with the formators and your artistic simplicity.

It seems that you beware your gender identity and live it confidently and appropriately.

    Gender plays a very prominent role in society. It regulates how we act and view ourselves. It also guides us to create social norms that we deem acceptable. Even though Erin and her husband loved each other, they were deeply ingrained with a gendered mindset that caused the end of their marriage. In the troubled youth’s life styles, it plays a different role. The men are prone to aggression and have been seen committing random acts of violence just because of race. The females are usually kept out of the violence and quiet, while actively supporting the ensuing chaos. Gender also causes a divide between classmates. Most of them ignoring the opposite gender and sticking to themselves. These are all examples of gendered roles in today’s society.

    There are a lot of reasons why I chose to pursue pharmacy as my career and they all point to the most important reason: pharmacy is a great fit for my life and is something I have become increasingly passionate about. It started when I was researching careers with my parents and my dad suggested pharmacy and, simply put, it sparked my interest because at the time it was one of the few things I thought I would not hate doing. A healthcare career has always been where I put myself in the future, mainly because most of my family members are in the healthcare field. However, I have never been one that could directly help the wounded or deal with anything gory, but am very intrigued by the growing science of pharmacy. As I continue exploring pharmacy, the more I enjoy learning about it and feel like I could excel in this career.

    818 Words  | 2 Pages

    Around the world gender is genuinely seen as strictly male or female. If you step out of this “social norm,” you could be considered an outcast. This disassociation includes, biological males/females, interssexed, and transgendered individuals. These people are severely suppressed by society because their gender identification, behaviors, and even their activities deviate from the norm. Most Americans are exceedingly devoted to the concept that there are only two sexes. Therefore, the constrictive American ideals of male and female gender identities inhibits growth and acceptance of gender expression.

In a feature article from the magazine Teaching Tolerance, it states ¨Gender may seem simple, but the myths surrounding this concept mask its true complexity…Summed up, the myth goes like this: Every person is either male or female, and the distinction is based on that person’s anatomy¨ (Kilman). Many people don’t realize that gender includes more than just male or female and is separate from a person’s biological sex. In reality, it is a complex idea. Red, a person who identifies as genderqueer, stated in an interview that “[they] want people to know that there are those of us out there — we exist — whose gender is more complicated and less familiar, but that we are no less deserving of respect.

  • Narrative Essay On Gender Stereotypes

    568 Words  | 2 Pages

    In elementary school one of the most common phrase used was, “You can’t do that you're a girl.” Society puts gender stereotypes and expectations on children at a very young age. I never really understood these stereotypes and expectations until later in my life. I couldn’t figure out why it was that boys were not allowed to like the color pink, and if the girls wanted to play “boy” sports it was seen as unusual. My family consists of my parents, my sister and I; so I never had sibling of the opposite gender in my life. I didn’t have someone to compare gender differences with. I was given toys no matter what gender they were geared towards. I remember receiving hot wheels cars and baby dolls the same year for Christmas and never thought anything thing of it. I think that these experiences has really shaped who I am today.
