Adam+S.

People always have this picture in their mind what they are supposed to be and act like as a man or a woman. Stereotypically men are supposed to be big strong and smart. On the other hand women are supposed to take care of the daily shores around the house, caring, and find jobs that suit their role such as a nurse or a maid. After learning that nowadays, people are becoming more integrated in their everyday lives. After interviewing my father, I’ve found that gender played a small but present role in his life when deciding many things. For example, when choosing his occupation, being a lawyer was what he wanted to do not what he was encouraged to do. He said that he was influenced very little on this because his father was an engineer/ entrepreneur and his decision on being a lawyer was solely based on his interests. When he was a little boy, it was different today than it was 40 years ago. His father played a small role in my father’s decisions to play with action figures rather than dolls and play sports. His mother was an artist who worked at home. She influenced his father a lot. When she wanted to go to an art museum, so did he. Earlier in the marriage, he would not wanted to have gone as much as he did later, after being influenced. My father’s mother also played a very small role in his decisions. It was always what my father wanted. He had a lot of freedom to go do what he would please. His brother also was free like my dad as well. Growing up, the parents usually focused on their task at hand and worried less about the children. I’m not saying that they could care less, but it’s less than the average child today. Overall, my father was influenced very little by gender roles. My father definitely took the more stereotypical role in his decisions. His mother had an uncommon job being a commercial artist. His father being an engineer created many innovative inventions including the world’s smallest gyroscope at the time. Being where he stands today, he followed more of his interests rather than branching out on to different activities.

// Don't talk about the interview, but use the interview to prove your point //
