essays 600-700 words

This past week we have been focusing on gender. Gender is a fundamental

social division. All around us we see differences between men and women 
(and girls and boys). The way they dress. The activities they engage in. 
What they say. What they want out of life. We see gender differences in 
the college classroom -- who tends to major in what subjects? We see 
gender differences at the workplace -- who tends to hold positions of 
power and authority? We see gender differences in the home -- who tends 
to do the majority of housework? These social arrangements, which create 
and sustain gender differences, end up having powerful effects on the 
lifestyles and life chances of individuals.
This week, you will have two possible essays to write. You must choose 
one of them. Below I describe the requirements for each essay.
