(Bleier) I do not believe that psycho-sexual gender differences are merely determined by biology‚ and I intend to provide evidence supporting my thesis in this first section of my paper. Problems with the Sociobiological Perspective The first reason I have to doubt that these differences are determined by biology has to do with Sociobiologists’ explanation that behaviors are able to be encoded into or represented by any concrete genetic combinations

Hubbard first talks about the exploitation of minority groups in order to fuel the industrialization of Europe and North America‚ saying that “it became imperative to draw distinctions between that small number of men who were created equal and everyone

This shows that social factors strongly influence our gender identity; more so perhaps‚ than our biology. This therefore supports Money’s hypothesis that social factors determine gender identity. This however‚ is a case study. Although it provides rich‚ detailed data‚ it is essentially a sample of one‚ so the results cannot be extrapolated elsewhere

The main branches of science (also referred to as "sciences"‚ "scientific fields"‚ or "scientific disciplines") are commonly divided into two major groups: social sciences‚ which study human behavior and societies‚ and natural sciences‚ which study natural phenomena (including fundamental forces and biological life). These groupings are empirical sciences‚ which means the knowledge must be based on observable phenomena and be capable of being tested for its validity by other researchers working under

sciences in high school‚ my interest in science has deeply increased; recently I was under pressure to choose a course of study at the undergraduate level‚ but I knew I wanted to do something in the scientific field‚ particularly along the lines of biology and chemistry. While researching various courses‚ I came across genetics‚ which was of great interest to me‚ finding out that the course included aspects such as cell mutation‚ the studying of chromosomes‚ and the behavior of micro-organisms.
