Baby X

well, after reading the story of baby x, i realized two very important things: (1) that society has a very powerful influence on every individual. Yung mga gender sterotypes na yan, yang mga gender roles na yan na pinagaaralan namen sa social psychology last term, lahat society lang ang may pakana. Wala talagang basehan, example, yung mga trabaho na for males lang and yung mga trabaho na for females lang, walang matinong basis kndi norms lang. They dictate what "boys" and "girls" should be doing.



Second, as a student majoring in psychology, matagaal na namin pinagdedebatihan yung nature vs. nurture issue. In this story, nurture won over nature kasi naconvince ng parents si X na X sya at neither boy nor girl. hindi umiral yung sinasabi nilang pagkalalaki or pagkababae. Well, siguro hindi pa kasi bata pa sya.

So basically, the story of baby X tells us that both males and females are equal in all aspects. Example si X, kaya nyang gawin yung mga gawain ng both boys and girls. Magaling sya sa football at magaling din mag-bake. O diba? All around lang kung all around eh. So, yun..
