Genre Representation

1. What is the difference between someones 'sex' and their gender?
Someones 'sex' is where you are biologically a girl or a boy. Gender is how you present yourself: your interests, how you conduct yourself etc

2. 'Male and Female' can be a binary opposition within texts. In your opinion, which 'male' or 'female' is seen in a more positive light by society and why?
I think that males are seen in a more positive light by society because they have always been regarded as the more important sex, the one who has a job, provides money and a house for their family - known as the actual provider. A woman is has always been of a lower status compared to a man because women cannot possibly do what a man does - presented as weak.

3. What do we mean by the term 'stereotype'?
