1. Summary
Both Gender and Sex are translated into the
word ‘ 성(性) ’ in Korean.
However, this text explains the difference between the two word. Gender is a
sex of sociocultural meaning. Since long ago, the traditional gender characteristics
have been hardened that women have passive, sensitive, emotional
characteristics and men have active, insensitive, and rational characteristics.
This is known as gender. On the other hand, sex refers to biological sex. A
person with a XX chromosome is a female, and a person with XY chromosomes is a
man. This is known as sex.
2. What was interesting/What did you learn
Before I saw this text, I didn't know the
difference between genders and sex. Simply, I thought both words were meant to
be ‘ 성(性) ’. But when I saw
this text, I realized that gender and sex viewed the word from different
perspectives. It is impressive that sociocultural gender and biological sex are
different.
3. Discussion Point
Both gender and sex classify the equivalent
human beings in different ways. Why did we divide human into men and women? How
does gender exist?
