Discussion
Assertion (A) : As compared to boys, girls have an innate tendency to be affected more by social and cultural factors.
Reason (R) : Girls are genetically more sensitive and emotionally weaker than boys, making it more likely for them to conform to societal expectations.
Choose the correct option.
Answer: A
Both (A) and (R) are false.
There is no innate tendency for girls to be more affected by social and cultural factors; both boys and girls are shaped by socialisation, and differences in how they respond come largely from the different expectations placed on them.
(R) is a gender stereotype: girls are not genetically more sensitive or emotionally weaker than boys. Treating such claims as true reinforces the bias that teachers are expected to challenge.
