Social Science homework help

 

Anthropologists have made numerous contributions to the study of sex, gender, and inequality, as you saw in chapter 12. The National Geographic documentary video, “India’s Third Gender Movement” and the VICE video “Mexico’s Third Gender” take a closer look at societies with more than two genders and the level of acceptance in those societies. Choose one and answer the following questions.

 

Instructions:

 

When you are done watching the video answer the following questions by referring to specific information from the video when appropriate, NOT other sources:

What is the difference between sex and gender?

How many genders do you think our society has?
