__Boy or Girl, What’s the Difference? __

Many people think that boys do one thing and girls do another thing. To prove this they refer to gender roles. In sports, there are sports that only boys play and sports that only girls play. Boys play football and baseball, while girls playfield hockey and softball. These sports may sound similar but are actually very different. Another stereotypical thought is that women stay home and take care of the house while men go out and earn the money. In the business world, men make more money than women do for doing virtually the same amount of work. Stephen Quine, a lawyer for Bank of America, says that there aren’t many woman lawyers and if there are, then they usually have a lower ranking job than the men. In recent years however, more women have become lawyers and they have been starting to higher ranking jobs, ones that have only been given to men in the past. The thought that it’s the women’s job to take care of the house is true in many households. Rebecca Quine says that most of the women she knows are “stay at home moms.” However, more and more women are starting to get jobs and hire nannies. In 2011, gender roles still apply in the business world. However, they don’t apply as much as they did 50, 30, or even 20 years ago. Women are starting to find jobs, and the business world is starting to become half women and half men. In maybe 50 years or so, gender roles might not apply in the business world at all and might become a thing of the past.
