I need some one to write for me an essay on gender bias from history perspective and from humanity perspective.
Diversity is a very interesting topic. It applies to many different people, places and
things. Everyone has their own opinion on what diversity means to them but for the most part it
would include accepting everyone no matter their background. Gender bias is a perfect topic to
break down some aspects of diversity. Gender roles have changed drastically over time, looking
through the different lenses will give a better understanding of the improvements that have been
made this far.
History is a lens that many people have a misconception about, it can give us more
insight than names and specific dates. Looking through the history lens can provide solid
background information. History can explain the steps that have taken to make the changes and
show how it impacts the world today. A lot of universities and schools have made changes to
their application to make answering questions regarding gender easier.
“The data will help guide decisions such as allocating resources and developing programs as part
of the university’s ongoing commitment to ensuring that campuses are welcoming and inclusive
for the LGBT community,” said Rebecca Trounson of Media Relations at the University of
California, Office of the President, in Oakland. Giving this option makes it more comfortable for
everyone, staff and students. It doesn’t just stop with the application it also flows into deciding
how to make their roommate selection easier. At Pitzer College in Claremont, California,
housing applications include questions like this: “Under what is your personal gender identity?”
Or, “You prefer your roommate’s gender identity is—?” Options include “transwoman” and
“genderqueer.” By giving the students these options is beneficial for the campus. The idea of
wanting to make everyone feel welcome is important. A lot of schools would be more successful
if they included these changes on their campus.
Another lens that can shed light into gender bias is humanities. Humanities is a very
interesting topic because it allows us to explore many different creative avenues. While doing so
it can open one’s eyes to see or learn about things in such a different light. Humanities is a great
tool for learning, for example being able to understand the difference between sex and gender.
People think these two terms are the same and can be used in place of one another which is
incorrect. Being assigned a female or male is just the icing on the cake, humanities can help us
get a better handle on the real difference. “ A person’s gender is the complex interrelationship
between three dimensions: body, identity, and social gender”. Identity is another interesting
topic that can better be explained by humanities. Humanities has many different cultures and
communities. Something that can help others identify with their true selves. Humanities gives a
home to a lot of different people, that is what makes humanities unique.
Natural science is another lens that can be used to explore diversity in gender bias.
Natural science gives a better understanding of ourselves, which includes the roles we play in
nature. Natural science includes sciences, mathematics and technology. Statistics assist in
making the case for this category, a lot of tests and polls are used. People make assumptions
based on gender what roles people are supposed to have in society. Typically they think the more
feminine jobs belong to females and vice versa. According to a research article .“in a study
among students from kindergarten through fifth grade there were only 28 pictures of a female
scientist out of 4,807, and all of these 28 drawings were drawn by girls (Chambers, 1983); in a
study surveying students in grades 2–12 only 135 pictures out of 1,600 displayed female
scientists and only six out of 135 pictures of a female scientist were drawn by male students
(Fort and Varney, 1989); in a study among students of 9–12 years of age, there were only 72
pictures of a female scientist out of 223, and of those 72, only 13 pictures were drawn by male
students (Huber and Burton, 1995)”. This is where diversity plays a big role. Times are
changing slowly but surely as diversity sinks in. A lot of roles are no longer gender specific,
women even hold a lot more job titles that men used to. According to a study “stats show that it
will take 108 years to close the gender gap” but tremendous strides have been made.
The last lens to discuss is the social lens. The social lens includes different human
behavior, how different relationships play out. It is oftentimes used in conjunction with
humanities. This lens is important because it explains how we interact with one another through
the world. Expression is a big part of gender, it doesn’t define which gender you are just how
you act. Saying blue is for boys and pink is for girls that is not the case and assumptions should
be made based on generic stereotypes. “Social gender includes gender roles and expectations and
how society uses those to try to enforce conformity to current gender norms”. This is a perfect
statement to justify that things are not always what they seem.

IDS 400 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Analyzing an Issue or Event in Diversity Through the Lenses of History and the Humanities
Overview: For the first part of your final project, the critical analysis portfolio, you will select an issue or event in diversity and critically analyze it through the
four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. By viewing the issue/event through these lenses, you will
gain insight into how the intersectional nature of diversity affects society, as well as both your own individual framework of perception and the choices,
attitudes, and behaviors of others in the world around you.
For this second milestone, due in Module Four, you will analyze your issue/event from Milestone One through the history and humanities lenses. This will provide
you with a chance to practice analyzing your issue/event through these lenses and receive feedback on this practice attempt.
Prompt: First, review the overviews and resources in Modules One through Three, as well as the Four Lenses document from Module One.
Next, analyze your issue/event through the lens of history, and address the following:
How does this issue/event interact with the history lens and impact social issues?
In what ways does the history lens help articulate a deeper understanding of the social issue(s) that inform your issue/event?
Next, analyze your issue/event through the lens of the humanities by exploring the following questions:
How is this issue/event portrayed creatively in society? What is the message or commentary of this representation?
How does this representation interact with you in your personal and professional lives?
Note: You are completing two separate analyses: one from history and one from the humanities. You must submit two papers in a single Word document.
Be sure to use evidence from research to support your analysis. Refer to course resources, the LibGuide for this course, and any other pertinent resources to
support your responses. Relevant current news sources may be used with instructor approval. Incorporate instructor feedback into your final project.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
1.
Lens Analysis: In this section of your assignment, you will analyze your issue/event through two of the four general education lenses.
A. Analyze your issue/event through the lens of history for determining its impact on various institutions. Utilize evidence from research to
support your analysis.
B. Analyze your issue/event through the lens of the humanities for determining its impact on various institutions. Utilize evidence from research to
support your analysis.
Rubric
Guidelines for Submission: Milestone Two should be submitted as two papers in a single Word document. The entire submission should be 2 to 4
pages in length. Use double-spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Support your responses with at least two sources for each lens from
the assigned course resources or other scholarly sources located independently via the Shapiro Library. Cite your supporting sources in APA style.
Please note that the grading rubric for this milestone submission is not identical to that of the final project. The Final Project Part One Rubric will include an
additional “Exemplary” category that provides guidance as to how you can go above and beyond “Proficient” in your final submission, as well as additional
elements to address.
