Gender issue has been a major problem in recent years. Gender and
development is an interdisciplinary field of research and applied study that implements
a feminist approach to understanding and addressing the disparate impact that economic
development and globalization have on people based upon their location, gender, class
background, and other socio-political identities. A strictly economic approach to
development views a country's development in quantitative terms such as job creation,
inflation control, and high employment – all of which aim to improve the ‘economic
wellbeing’ of a country and the subsequent quality of life for its people.[1] In terms of
economic development, quality of life is defined as access to necessary rights and
resources including but not limited to quality education, medical facilities, affordable
housing, clean environments, and low crime rate.[1] Gender and development considers
many of these same factors; however, gender and development emphasizes efforts
towards understanding how multifaceted these issues are in the entangled context of
culture, government, and globalization. Accounting for this need, gender and development
implements ethnographic research, research that studies a specific culture or group of
people by physically immersing the researcher into the environment and daily routine of
those being studied,[2] in order to comprehensively understand how development policy
and practices affect the everyday life of targeted groups or areas.
Our Speaker Dr. Maria Gemma T. Aligsao shared and discussed to us the differences of
gender and its implications to the society and how it evolves to an issue worthy to be
tackled. She stressed that before men are seen to masculine and therefore perceive to be
strong and brave. But today, women are showing that they are also strong and brave.
Today both genders are given equal opportunities which is I think a good opportunity for
the both gender to live harmoniously.
