Question 1

Should the game for boys and girls be different? What do you think?

Accepted Answer

I think girls are also talented and hardworking as boys. They can play all the games which are played by the boys. Thus there should not be much difference between the games for boys and girls.

Question 2

Make a list of toys and games that boys typically play and another for girls. If there is a difference between the two lists, can you think of some reasons why this is so? Does this have any relationship to the roles children have to play as adults?

Accepted Answer

List of toys and games that boys play with: cars, guns, swords, buses, railway trains, lions, etc. (toys), cricket, kabaddi, hockey, football etc. (games). List of toys and games that girls play with: dolls, cooking items, etc. (toys)', badminton, table-tennis, hide and seek, etc. (games). These games are also played by the boys. From the above description, we can infer that there is a difference between the toys with which boys play and the toys with which girls play. The reason behind this is that our society makes clear distinctions between boys and girls. Boys are taught to be tough while girls are taught to be mild. Boys are expected to do works which highlight their manly features but girls are expected to remain in limit with all feminine virtues. All these are ways of telling children that they have specific roles to play when they grow up to be men and women. Later in life, this affects even the subjects they can study or the careers they can choose.
