Video Reflection

Our group believes that the video has more or less produced an accurate portrayal of the differences in gender behaviour.

As exemplified by the video, there are striking differences in the reactions of men and women to congruent situations such as that of the watching of the romantic film. Women tend, according to numerous scientific studies, to be more emotional, and tend to be more people centred. However, therefore we question, are such behaviours part of nuture or nature?

However, there is one point of contention. The scene from the video depicts the differences between the woman and the man upon reaching home, seems far too stereotypical and perhaps just slightly outdated. In today's age and society, it is no longer uncommon to meet families where parents divide the chores equally. Alternatively, there is also the option of hired help, full-time or part-time. Thus, this scene is most unconvincing due to the paradigm shift in society.

Thus, in conclusion, we feel that while this animation points out the common glaring differences between the behaviours of the two genders, however, it is perhaps slightly outdated and thus provides a slight misrepresentation of current society gender differences.
