the child is a boy or a girl. The answer to this question impacts the socialization of that child for the rest
of his or her life. For example, from birth children are assigned the colors of pink or blue and given
specific gender related toys depending on their sex. Think about how you have been socialized in
relation to sex and gender. Consider your parents? and media?s influence over your life as a male or
female as well as the broader impact of society on masculinity and femininity.
