Gender.
Gender is the socially-constructed characteristics of being male or female.
In short, it refers to society's division of humanity into two distinctive categories based on sex.
Gender serves as a guide on how males and females think and act about themselves; the ways they interact with others; and how they perform their various roles in society.
While sex chiefly centers on biological differences, gender is the culturally-learned difference between men and women.
Hormonal distinctions as well as diverse levels of sexual arousal segregate men from women as these indicators provide clues on one's maleness or femaleness.
These are sex differences.
On the contrary, the level of masculinity and ferminity varies from one culture to another especially on how society dictates one's productive and reproductive roles or gender roles.
For instance, in the Judeo-Christian world, men are perceived to be superior than women; thus they are ascribed more vigorous occupational roles like plowing the field or doing menial jobs as opposed to women who are relegated to homemaking and child-rearing.
There is a popular notion that gender deals only with differences, wherein society constructs masculine and feminine people.
However, in reality, it is how society confers power on each of these sexes that leads to the development of a sense of empowerment and sensitivity.
Overall, gender also operates as a dimension of inequality.
This is especially true in relation to the division of labor where each society ascribes gender stereotype to particular job domain.
In the past, architecture and engineering as well as banking and finance were male domains.
Fashion and interior design and cooking were female turfs.
In recent years, however, overlapping of domains have occurred.
The best chefs in the world are now men and the best bankers are women.
What seemed to be inequalities then are now cushioned by more gender-friendly and gender-sensitive working environment.
Nonetheless, this development is not conclusive.
Some indigenous communities,resisting social change, continue to cling to traditional stereotypes like the women warriors inhabiting the headwaters of the amazon river in south america, who preserved the strong pattern of female dominance in the community.
Similarly, new guinean highlanders maintains a community of men who are more gossips, artistic, and nurturant towards their children than their wives.

Title : I will Survive
By demi lovato
This is what I have chosen because lyrics speak very nice to listeners. In life you can definitely know a lot or a people, Many people will enter into your life where there is a reason. Reasons you can be happy and sad or struggle, but it really means to teach you. I will survive, song saying that even as many pain or difficulty come into your life so that you may struggle, you can still go on or stand with your own only. The most important thing is that you always have yourself because you just own the understanding of you “just yourself” . The song states that no matter what happens. Whether they leave you, or anyone or any of those people who are important to you, you can do it... And you'll see. Because you're you... And you can overcome it.
In other words:
You will live even if they leave you all or even the person you most beloved.

Politics.
Politics refers to the “theory, art, and practice of government.”
The political instruction is a relatively stable cluster of statuses, general norms,and role behavior, which are involved in the acquisition and exercise of power and decision making in society.
The institution that sets up the social norms and values as to who will possess “the monopoly of legitimate use of physical force within a given territory,” how that power is acquired and maintained, and how that power is organized and exercised, comprises the state.
The government is a concrete example of a political institution.
It exercises power especially in relation to governance and decision-making.
Power is manifested in the acquisition of statuses and functions.
For instance, the president or the prime minister serves as the head of the government.
He or she functions as the chief executive and the commander-in-chief, especially in policy-making and other matters related to governance and imposition of laws.
He or she leads the military during war and the cabinet during peace.
He or she designates roles for cabinet members to undertake .
He or she is given power to approve or veto decision made by the cabinet or the legislative body.
He or she is also given a check-and-balance power, which means he or she can order the review of other branches of government if they are not executing their functions properly.
Power, as defined in democratic principles, is a status granted to individuals or institution to properly run the government and implement the rule of the law in a society.
The president or prime minister and the members of the cabinet are granted with executive power, which is the right to execute governance and implement laws.
Meanwhile, members of the legislative, which include senators and congressmen, are given the legislative power to make and pass laws for the executive power to implement.
Likewise, the members of the judiciary are tasked to interpret laws in accordance with a society's standards and norms.
With these ascribed roles and functions to perform, it is expected that all branches of the government (executive, legislative, and judiciary) work harmoniously to maintain the balance of power.
These aforementioned concepts-culture, society,and politics-are essential in understanding human behavior and social groups.
They are interrelated and to some extent reflective of each other.
Thought similarities and areas of convergence exist among them, they are not identical.
Their interrelatedness will be explained further in the succeeding chapters.
Before we proceed, student should bear in mind that such interrelatedness can be best understood by using their own experience.
Later, In the concepts in action section, you will asked to provide information about yourself: your gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, religion, exceptionality, and nationality.
But first you need to pay attention to the following concepts and their meanings.

Defining culture, Society, And politics
Culture is generally defined as the sum of an individual's way of life, ranging from the food he or she eats, the clothes he or she wears, and the house where he or she lives .
It also includes both the material and non-material things that he or she possesses or acquires.
Non-material things are the norms and values as well as the intangible aspects of his or her existenc: music,dance, poetry, and other forms of expressions that showcase his or her creativity and artistry.
Culture also includes fads and fashion trends,manners and taboos as well as scientific knowledge and technology that manifest through tangible aspects, such as architectural and engineering wonders , advancement in medicine, and breakthroughs in transportation and communication.
Aside from culture, students are also encouraged to understand and appreciate the importance of society and politics.
Society is generally defined as an originally defined as organized group or groups of independent people who share a common territory, language, and culture, and who act together for collective survival and well-being.
The ways that people depend upon one another can be seen in different social features, such as their economic, communication, and defense systems.
They are also bound together by a general sense of common identity and pride of place.
In reality, there can be no culture without a society and so far there are no known human societies that do not exhibit culture.
Good morning to all! I'm glad that im here in this platform .i read a lot of interesting article that also has a leading information. I'm started to wondering about how to earn big points here . can someone tell me how ? So i could make it.
Understanding culture, society and politics.
In our modern world, it is important to pay attention to the interplay of culture, politics, and society.
These elements are essential in understanding human behavior and social groups against the backdrop of globalization and industrialization.
Hence, students as individuals and integral members of society are expected to value their roles in society, apply the knowledge they learned from school, and translate their gained ideas into actions beneficial to nation building.
The best way of transforming the ideals of students into action by letting them discern challenges and turn these challenges into positive endeavors.
This can be done through the proper understanding of the dynamics of individuals,institutions,and other major players in society.
It is therefore imperative that students must be well-equipped and well-informed individuals who are familiar with the disciplines of political science,anthropology,and sociology as learning aids in locating himself or herself within his or her community and society.
The succeeding lesson introduces the students to the dynamics of society and politics.

Contribution (poetry entry)
When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.
One man cannot do right in one department of life whilst he is occupied in doing wrong in any other department.
Life is one indivisible whole.
My object in living is to unite my avocation and my vocation as my two eyes make one in sight
—this is my first article and hope that you like it.
