HO 222 - Gender Issues: Past, Present and Future

Institution:

Mount Mercy University

Subject:

Description:

There are many pre-conceived ideas and stereotypes regarding gender roles. This course asks the questions: What are the origins of our traditions about femininity and masculinity? What are the realities of being men, of being women? To find the answers we will be studying historical, social/ philosophical writings about men and women. This course is about issues that affect our lives, e.g. marriage and its alternatives, a society without definite sex roles. This course is designed for men and women who wish to go beyond both "revolutionary feminist rhetoric" and sex role stereotypes tostudy their own gender identity and that of the other half of the human race.
