Week one blog
My name is Nae Ree Yang. I am a freshmen this year at the University of Minnesota. This is my first gender study as you have mention on Wednesday during class. I am excited to start learning in this class. I really do not know what kind of material will be cover in these kind of class. I decided to take this course because I know that in my culture the sons is more important than the daughters and I would like to know more about gendered life in America. To see if I can compare and contrast it with my culture. For me gender mean the difference between male and female. I would usually think about the female for this study because many places and in the past it was always the female that did not recieve equal treatment. When I look at Power, I am also reminded of the status of male and female. Men always seem to have more power over women. Power also remind me of racial issue. The last part of the title Everyday life kind of sum up the meaning of these two idea for me. It is saying this is our everyday life. The issue of power between female and male and race happens everyday around us. This is how we have to learn to live each day.
