Institution:

Bentley University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite(s): PS 132 or SO 132 The goals of this course are for the student to gain a better understanding of the development of women, and the psychological issues involved in understanding the way they operate in the world today. The course will explore in some depth several theoretical stances of women's development and Psychology; the students will gain a better understanding of how that impacts upon them as men and women. This course is useful for both genders in dealing with the common issues that come up for both in the "real world" of business and life. It will facilitate this by giving them information about the various issues and how and why women behave in certain ways. We will explore alternatives to the old problems between the sexes, and find new ways to deal with each other because of new levels of understanding the course will generate. We also will be looking at the way women undervalue their achievements and minimize their accomplishments and what that means for men as well as women themselves.
