Nurture has a lot To Do with Gender Roles We Play

According to the article "Bring on the Geekettes" by Susan Bourette, Maria Klawe was born in Toronto and got her B.Sc and Ph.D in mathematics at the University of Alberta. When Maria was dean of science at the University of British Columbia, she redesigned programs and increased the number of female students who study in computer science by 20 per cent (43 44). This example illustrates that gender roles are influenced by nurture. According to gender …

…can be somewhat shaped by nature, which is something we are born with and carry in our genes. However, nurture affects gender roles between males and females more than nature. Therefore, nurture has a lot to do with gender roles, which are influenced by parental control, school education, and mass media. Hopefully, the traditional gender stereotypes will be changed in the future, which men no longer need to work outside and women should become housewives.
