Battle of the Gender Roles

As many can tell at a young age, women and men physically do not look a like. However, they were

raised with different gender roles; men and women were expected to do different tasks. The lines 

between gender roles of men and women have been  blurred over the past few years, but I decided to 

take a step back. My contrast essay is based on traditional male gender roles vs traditional female 

gender roles. Contrasting them by what they are expected to do day by day, how they should present 

themselves, what type of jobs they should have, and when they are expected to grow up. There is 

a big difference between these gender roles, and what is expected from men and women. 

Hard Decisions Made Easier

In the TED talk, "How to Make Hard Decisions" by Ruth Chang. She talked about how on an every day basis people are faced with hard decisions. Whether they are big decisions, like should we get married, or should I move to the city. They also can be faced with smaller decisions that are also difficult such as, what should I have for breakfast? or, should I buy that dress? Whether the decisions are big or small, people are still faced with them everyday. Ruth Chang talks about how people pick the easier way out, and do not think about the outcome of both. She suggests that instead of thinking that one way is better than the other, she suggests that people think about the decision as neither better or worse then the other choice. To think about the decisions on the same page will help to make an easier decision. Providing numerous examples of her thought process,

I found this TED talk to be effective and very useful. I am faced with hard decisions almost everyday, and instead of thinking about one being better than the other I can now think about them as both being a good choice, and figuring out which one has the better outcome. Many people who watched this video will be able to change the way they make hard decisions, and realize that not all decisions are too difficult to make.
