Therefore, it is important to support her interests and encourage her to pursue other activities where she can excel and build her self-esteem.

Question 15

In traditional cultures,gender-segregated play is a consequence of ____.

Accepted Answer

In traditional cultures, boys and girls are typically assigned different tasks and responsibilities based on their gender. This gender-specific work often translates into gender-segregated play, as these activities can further reinforce skills and behaviors deemed valuable for their future roles in society. Boys may be directed towards activities that involve physical strength, competition, and leadership, while girls may be encouraged to engage in domestic tasks and social interaction. This cultural expectation shapes children's attitudes towards gender roles and may limit their exploration and development of skills outside of what is stereotypically associated with their gender.
