The culture class has been very enlightening to me as it has taught me the way society thinks and the expectation it has everyone. Men are expected to behave in a certain way while women are expected to carry themselves in a predetermined way to be socially correct. Men are expected to be tough while women are expected to be subjective and invisible. Even though the American society has tried to close the gap in gender difference, there is still glaring differences in social expectation.
As I go to spend thanks giving with my family, there are a few things I have learnt. In this paper I am going to mention two important lessons learnt. First, I have learnt not to expect so much masculinity form my two sons. I will let my sons know that it is okay to feel emotions and connect to them; that is what makes us human. The society expects so much out of the male child and letting my sons know that they do not have to conform to the socital demands will make them leave more psychologically healthy lifestyles.

I am also engaged to my fiancée who has two daughters. As we go to spend thanksgiving together I will ask my daughters to be, not to think that for them to fit into the society, they have to be submissive. I will also treat tham as equals to my sons. This will teach the daughters not to want second best just to be accepted. I will let them learn that it is ok to achieve excellence.
My daughters to be are Argentinian and while in America there has been a lot of progress on gender equality and recognition, Argentina still lags behind in this front. As their society expects, the daughters will want to be submissive to the boys. I will try and correct this by treating them the same so that they all feel at the same level with each other.
Parents have a big influence on their kids life and most of the things they learn they do so by example. As the parent I will also try treat my fiancée as a human beng and not as a woman who is expected to do womanly things. This will teach my sons to teach women with respect and the daughters to expect respect from the males.
