Some people tend to think that the differences between men and women are natural and to do with biology…
Hands up who agrees? Who disagrees?

13. Cultural diversity
Some people think that the way that humans behave is natural to them because that is how they were born to act.
Sociologists say that it is more likely that people behave as they do because they belong to a culture and were taught expected rules

Key word – Anthropology
The study of different human cultures.
Margaret Mead looked in particular at gender roles within with in tribal cultures.
Margaret Mead lived among a variety of different people. She described their way of life.

16. Gender in different cultures
Found that in the islands of New Guinea, certain tribes, had very different ideas of what is natural to men and women.
She discovered that among the Tchambuli, traditional European male/female roles are reversed and men spend time making themselves look attractive for women.

17. Gender Roles
According to the anthropologist, Margaret Mead, women among the Tchambuli tribe have shaved heads and they wear few clothes or ornaments.
The women control society. Tchambuli men spend a lot of time looking after their appearance and curl their hair.
They wear shells, fur and feathers. They compete with each other to get attention from their women for their good looks and their ability to play musical instruments. The men spend time dancing, painting and carving.
