instead of two sets of opposing ideals.”, her name was Emma Watson. Based on her quotation in
women’s web, we need to deepen our knowledge about gender and what it could possibly bring
us into life, that the gender in today's lives is with different kinds and serves many purposes.
Module 2 is about how cultures and rationalities would shape a person's perspective on reality,
the effect of it if we miss-viewed sexuality by not accepting our transforming world. It always
starts with the culture. As we know, culture is something we shared and learned through our
everyday lives, this helps us see the world and what it could offer to us. Being one of the cultures
we are in, we should be rational to at least see what truly matters and how we can get things
right. These two important words; culture and rationality can be shaped by how we interact with
our surroundings. It is acceptable that everyone has their own thoughts and opinions about
gender and sexuality but being exposed in this transformed culture, we may understand and start
being rational by acting appropriately regarding how people want to express him/her/
themselves. Sexism and discrimination occur once human beings act unfairly and irrational.
Sexism is having standards for men and women, being biased on what men should do vice versa
with women. Sexism is not just a word, you could also experience some types of sexism where
people's basis is behavior and attitude. These actions may lead to discrimination that may not
only affect the victim but also people around him and the workplace.
The topic is very relatable, seeing how our community works there’s a lot of sexism and people
like to discriminate against one another. Mostly, those people who have a lot of talks and
opinions are those who are not well educated and all they can do is to talk trash to others without
knowing and being rational.I think this kind of matter should not only be discussed with school
because not everyone is not given the opportunity to go to school. If we want to practice equality,
we should also teach elders and whoever is part of a community.
It starts with home, to peer groups, school up to community. Culture is everything, we are
evolving so much as our culture. People should learn how to respect and be rational in their
decision making in the way they talk and act towards themselves and to others. Stop setting
standards on what a person should possess and should do. Everyone is capable of anything,
even if it's a man or woman. What we practiced before was all in the past, everyone can change
and so does our way of living disregarding the kind of gender we have.
