This is a
blog that views a number of different aspects of gender in correlation to the
study of Geography. The topics include, home, family, public/private, scale,
discrimination, and work. In addition to these topics, a brief statistical
analysis from three different countries is included to provide a better
understanding of the different ways in which different people from different
countries live their everyday lives; these countries include United States,
Iran and Mexico.
The image below represents the idea that all the
truths within the topics of Geography and gender that are discussed are
subjective. A truth today can be changed tomorrow, depending on the time and
the society. In this image we see an ad targeted for women wanting to gain
weight in order to look more desirable for the opposite sex, a concept that
today would be considered to be almost strange, considering the amount of women in our society who try to do the opposite in order to attract a mate. This shows how different
regions around the world form these types of discourses, or set of "truths", in each society and as time changes, so to do these truths.
