3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading, that has not already been discussed this week, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.
Sex-role stereotyping is the concept that I want to share in the following paragraphs. In Harris and Sherblom’s text who say, ”Numerous recent studies indicate that women are more effective as managers and leaders in the areas of motivating others, fostering communication, producing high-quality work, and listening to others than are men (Sharpe,2000)” (Harris/Sherblom 125). I fully agree with the authors’ ideas in the text. Due to the strong ability of effectiveness in communication and high quality of work, we have known most of the women hold the important positions as the leaders and executives in the government and organizations in the twenty first century. For examples, Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State and Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives who can definitely represent the outstanding and famous women in the United States as well as in the world. Literally, Mrs. Clinton and Mrs. Pelosi demonstrate as the role models and embrace in the hearts of most of the Americans. With respect of these two examples, we have seen the rapid and striking manifestation of social change in the last century that completely motivated the women to fight for the equality and justice for themselves in the society. Except working in the society, as a member in the family, the woman also understands who has the responsibility to share part of breadwinner work for the husband during the financial crisis and recession as well.

Kam,
ReplyDeleteI really agree with you totally with the sex-role stereotyping. Women have been moving up in the work place, we almost had our first women president happen. I believe that if Hillary Clinton was to be president that we would not go to war or the war would end, just the fact that women are more sensitive than men. Not saying Obama is doing a good job, but when it comes to caring for others, women show more feelings than men. Women are more effective in fostering communication and listening to others. I believe that the statement is true about how women are better listeners. Really good job Kam.
