Describe the influence of culture on gender formation

Hi!

Culture has a huge impact on gender formation. Examples of this include career choice and employment. From an early age, girls might play 'Teacher' or 'House' (I used to play all the time!) while boys might play games and activities opposite of this, such as 'war' or some kind of 'fight'. Traditionally, women may become teachers, waitresses, secretaries, housewives, etc. These men, traditionally, may become construction workers, truck drivers, police officers, etc. Another example of how culture influences gender information is that women are traditionally considered to be "gentle" and "kind" and "emotional" while males are considered to be "tough" and "independent". These are just some examples of cutural influence.
