MAIN BODY
People live in the societies and there growth and development is only possible
with living in the social world. When a person is living in social world then it is important
for them to know about the different concepts of social world and on the basis of these
knowledge people can look for better lifestyle in the social system. Gender is a concept
of characteristics that is developed socially to differentiate between man and woman.
On the general basis it is a concept that differentiate the male and female but on the
social perspective it also represents role and relationship of people in groups of men
and women. The role and responsibilities of people changes with change in society
(Richie, B., 2018). This concept was developed centuries ago and it was developed by
people on the basis of their role in society. To better know about the society it is
important to know about the basic of it. Basically the society is considered as the group
of male, female and transgender. This genders are classified on physical structure and
their individual characteristics. There are also different symbols are used by people to
1

show difference between these genders. By knowing this concept people can easily
understand their role and responsibility in societies.
This is interesting to know about this concept of gender in order to know the
structure of the society. To understand the impact on culture on the different level of
society it is important know more about role of gender in social culture. The role of
different gender are not ideal in all conditions but it changes with different societies. On
different locations the role of male female and transgender. On the global scale genders
are classified in three categories on the basis of their physical structure and behaviour.
There are different issues people are facing due to th restrictions that are made
conceptually by people and these restrictions are preventing the over all growth of
people around world (Davenport, 2016). As per global scale data there are more women
are living in poverty compared to men. This data is representing how the different status
of male and female is different in the society. In the society role of people are depended
on their gender. This is main difference between the male and female in society. On the
physical structure people are differentiating role of man and women, this classification
or allotment of role is not depended on the capabilities or skills. It is completely based
on the concept that is coming from centuries.
This also can be understand by different examples of real world. The societies
are mostly male dominate. In most of the societies women are pressurized by opposite
gender. This in not because of tradition but it is all about the mentality of both gender.
The mind set and thinking process of both people from different gender is completely
different. To make effective changes in roles of people in society this it is required to
make effective changes in the basic concepts that is provided to younger generation in
form of culture. There are different positive and negative examples can be taken in
order to understand the real concept of gender. The societies are considering the both
emotional and ethical concept to improve the social conditions in societies. There are
different concepts are need to be update with the changes in the society. People have
different opinion about the concept of gender. Some of them are favouring the
perception to make changes in the current situation in social world that possess various
positive and negative facts. But some of the people are suggesting to keep the current
system that defines the concept of man and women. There are many cases are there
2

which are represent the domination of male on women (Healey, Stepnick and O'Brien, 2018).
These cases are not frequent now days because with initiative of different people these
problems of gender discrimination are continuously reducing. There are some
movement are trending on the social media that is providing support to the female
community to improve their status in the societies. In so many cases women have filed
false cases which are result of aggression and other purposes. This important for
people to create positive environment that can enable the people to established gender
equality with in the society (Brown and et. al., 2016). This is how social world and its
limitations and problems can be understand through learning the concept of the gender.
The current situation of current society also can be understand and understood proper
knowledge of society.
The main problems that are associated with gender discrimination are- Unequal
pay is major problem in business organizations, Sexual Harassment on work place and
less number opportunities. There are as per a data which was published in year 2018
the women get paid 80% of what men get paid. As per a survey in 2018 there are 38 %
of female employees are facing sexual harassment on work place. In business
organization women are promoted 5 % less to the position of CEO. This can be used to
prove the problems that are faced by women on work place.
Ethnicity can be considered as the belongingness of individual person to a
spacial group. As we know human are consider as the social animal that lives in group
of people and carry different emotional connection with other people in group. This
groups are basically known as social groups or societies. The impact of individual
society is huge on the person who lives in it. The cultural, tradition and other practices
that are followed in the groups define them as a society. The basic concept of ethnicity
can be consider as the tendency of the people to live in society and need some sense
of belongingness. The people are categorized on the base of the community in which
they are living. The classification of people can be based on culture, tradition, race,
nationality and religion (Rosenthal, 2016). The growth and development of person is doe in
the same group and society. People are taught with standards of societies from the
beginning about the culture and society they are living in. this is how the basic
development of person occurs in the society.

This can be both positive & negative and its depended on the what kind of
practices they used to follow in the particular group. If the practices used in the
individual culture are good and effective and defined to make better society then it can
affect social worlds positively. But the negative factors present in current societies are
need be addressed to get better response and develop ethical condition in the society
(Young, 2017). The identity of individual person is associated with the group they are living
in. so this is important to improve the traditions and practices of these societies to
develop environment that is good for all. The importance of ethnicity can be understand
indifferent ways. The ethnic identity of person can not be changed it only can be diluted.
It is completely immutable for everyone.
The main problem in this case is all about the domination of different groups of
people on other for different purposes. In many countries people are fighting over
religious and territorial issues which are created by themselves. This conditions are
need to be improved. Many people are working to improve this conditions around world.
Also there are some organization which are working for the human rights in these areas
(Quinn and Cooc, 2015). There efforts are completely targeted to improve the social world.
This is how people and various societies are working in order to develop better
practices that can reduce the violence on the basis of race, religion, gender and social
status. In some countries people are facing different issues that are associated with
racism. There are 20% racial incidents are increased in Scotland. Anti religious
statements and discrimination are example of Ethnicity issues around world.
CONCLUSION

world, these factors are studied on different level of society to improve the conditions
that are affecting the social lifestyle of people. The concept of gender has been
evaluated in the report to get better ways to learn more about the term social world.
There are different real life examples has been studied to understand the current
situation of gender discrimination issues on different places. Apart form this concept of
