Discussion
Read the following statements and choose the correct option :
Assertion (A) : Every year Lata, a Class VII teacher invites a female maths professor and a male nurse to her class to discuss careers in these fields.
Reason (R) : Gender differences are innate and not acquired through society.
Answer: A
(A) is true, but (R) is false.
The Assertion describes a sound classroom practice: inviting a woman maths professor and a male nurse shows students people in careers often stereotyped by gender, and challenges the idea that some jobs belong to one sex.
The Reason is false. Gender differences in roles, interests and expectations are largely learned through socialization by family, school, media and peers; they are not innate. Indeed, the teacher's practice makes sense only because gender roles are learned and can therefore be changed. Options calling the Reason true, or the Assertion false, are wrong.
