Things I Learned

I learned a lot last class that I never knew or even existed. For one I never knew that there was a difference between gender and sex(not the verb). I always through that they were the exact same thing, something that defines if your male or female, your biological status. I never knew that gender was the sociocultural component of sex(not the verb).  Another thing that I never knew existed was gender development and that there are four points within it. The biological is for example your hormones while the social- learning approach is when children learn there gender through observation. The cognative development theory is when the children know that gender is stable and the gender schema theory is a more information learning approach. The points I just listened are things that I knew happened but I didnt know that they were part of a development theory. I have learned a crazy amount of information in this class!
