Abstract: (4782 Views) |
In this cross-cultural study, we primarily aim to present research-based evidence to examine the main gender characteristics associated with socialization. Using the symbolic interaction theory and the socialization theory, this cross-cultuural analysis particularly explores the construction and representation of gender identity through educational systems. The fields of this study are two varying cultural athmospheres: New Zealand and Iran. Accordingly, this cross-cultural analysis provides the opportunity to explore whether and how significantly the representation of gender characteristics through educational systems is associated with varying cultural atmospheres. Generally speaking, the results of this cross-cultural analysis indicate two key patterns: on the one hand, these varying cultural atmospheres play crucial role in gender representation. On the other hand, both male hegemony and high value of family tend to remain beyond the influence of the varying cultural atmospheres. |
