"Boys And Girls: The Development Of Gender Roles"
Words: 638 - Pages: 3.... a course of one's development, give a plethora
of reasons to believe in the existence of a critical period in gender
development. Freud's theory suggests that the way in which the id, ego, and
superego evolve and the way in which they proliferate in the first six years of
a child's life will influence the child's emotional attachment to her/his parent
of the same sex and, as consequence, the child's gender identification.

The Taming Of The Shrew
Words: 1012 - Pages: 4.... women but closer examination of the play and the intricacies of its structure reveal that it is not merely a story of how men should 'put women in their place'. The play is, in fact, a comedy about an assertive woman coping with how she is expected to act in the society of the late sixteenth century and of how one must obey the unwritten rules of a society to be accepted in it. Although the play ends with her outwardly conforming to the norms of society, this is in action only, not in mind.
