Cake” and reading “Berengier of the Long Ass‚” the expectations of genders are exposed through the reversal of roles in both of these pieces. The characters in these stories clearly demonstrate the expectations that certain males and females must negotiate in order to expose the problems when there is labeling of certain genders. Judith Butler’s analysis of gender is that it is performative- meaning that nobody really is a gender from the start; after watching the video and reading the text for this

Exploring Gender and Sexual Norms Being born as a male or a female is something out of individual’s hand; still gender identity will have a significant effect on that person’s life. Today’s society will strictly determine one’s abilities and limits of dreams passed on gender identity. Gender identity can be seen as one of the earliest social categories that children learn to apply to both themselves and other people.

Gender: Men vs Women I would like to approach the topic: the superior gender. This topic brings up many heated discussions all around the world.

No‚ I am not optimistic about the financial future of America’s middle class. With that being said‚ it has become common today to dismiss the fact that the financial future of America’s middle class is on the decline.

Only the rich and the poor‚ and if you don’t have money you don’t matter.” In a society like today where people only care for themselves‚ look out for their
