Something else that surprised us was how there were many genders in the world but only 2-3 were ever considered and lastly how different societies and tribes once considered people who were feminine (even males) as feminine for the rest fo their lives.

Overall, nothing really confused us as the video was well explained and straightforward.

Something we would like to learn more about are such as how would the world be with all the types of gender used freely and how each gender are different from one another.]]> 2021-05-03 06:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1483983843 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1483983871 1. We found that even if you sex is one thing, your gender can be something else but society has made it that the sex and gender should be interlaced with each other that doesn't allow much expression for people
2. We found it confusing how this social construct was created and how it can be stopped because we don't even know if we will be able to eradicate social constructs that discriminate
3. We would like to know if people who bisexual have different or similar biological construct to heterosexual people and if they are similar, then why was the social construct created in the first place.]]> 2021-05-03 06:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1483983871 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1483984762 1. Something that struck us as very surprising about the content was when the video discussed how the female anatomy was the opposite / inverted of the male anatomy. This was quite weird to hear and understand about. Furthermore, the various gender norms that were explained in the video (eg. females been associated with the colour pink) was quite surprising as well.
2. The video did go in-depth about the binary gender identities, however, never much extended into gender fluidity and the other identities. Furthermore, it was quite puzzling to see that even though females played a huge role in society (reproduction, child birth, taking care of the household, and other important jobs), the gender norms based on the hierarchy is still leaned towards patriarchy. 
3. We would like to learn more about the various gender identities present in today's world, and how each of them differ from each other. We could in-depth about the spectrum of gender. ]]> 2021-05-03 06:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1483984762 aarishinsaf1 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1483989807 1. Gender has played a crucial role in our society and how we interact with others. 
2. The video showed how different families stuck with one gender.
3. We would like to learn more about the various gender identities.]]> 2021-05-03 06:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1483989807 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1483990699

1. It is possible to have a mixture of traits which differentiate the different genders
2. One thing that confused me was the origin of this social construct and why for centuries gender was only classified as male or female whereas there are several exceptions as well. Another element that confused me is that if we talk our gender roles and responsibilities, females play a huge role in society like childbirth, taking care of the household, preparing food etc and yet she is considered lower in the hierarchy than a male.
3. We would like to learn more about what caused the 2 gender concept to get introduced to society and why is it still so prominent even after so much research has been conducted and there is so much evidence against this concept

Things that struck us in the surprised way was the content/information about the difference between the study of the female body & the male body. This was somewhat kind of interesting. Also, gender is based on the people's identities & roles. 

2. Things that surprised us was the study difference between male & female bodies in the olden days & present time.

3. We would like to learn more about gender & it’s connection with religion. I want to learn more about the history of the difference in sex & gender.]]> 2021-05-03 06:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1483993628 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484003447 1) 

1. Some parents choose which sex their child is if they are born intersex. Gender is based on their traits, roles and identities. That gender and sex are different
2. Not much, but the difference between different genders was a bit confusing
3. I would like to learn more about gender and it’s connection with religion and class. I want to learn more about the history of the difference in sex and gender. I would like to learn more about the history of gender, especially when she talked about the medieval beliefs of gender

Something that struck us as very surprising about the video content is that money was actually backed/lined with real gold (+ precious metals). However, now, it is simply paper currency, with a number assigned to a piece of paper. 
2. First, it is quite confusing how money can be transferred between banks, and circulate the economy as well. BRs, Certificates, approvals, and other such documentation becomes quite a lengthy process to understand. Furthermore, we were quite confused about how the rate of gold each day can be changed for the same amount (weightage). For instance, how do you determine what amount of paper currency equates to the worth of gold? Won't it be constant, or does it completely depend on the economy? 
3. We would like to learn more about the thought process and causes of paper currency? What sparked the idea? Also, what does the future of money exchange hold? Will we perhaps completely switch to Bitcoin and/or electronic money? ]]> 2021-05-03 06:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484016558 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484017161 1) It was surprising that money does not have any actual value. Moreover, we were surprised that it isnt backed by any value or gold. It was also surprising that money is just paper that we exchange for our time.
2) We were confused about why they changed money after the world war. We were confused on how the system went from trading to paper money, and why it did so. Moreover, it was strange how money changed so much over time.
3) How was the concept of money made? How was money introduced? Was it accepted by everyone? How would society work if we didnt have money?]]> 2021-05-03 06:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484017161 aniketagarwal1 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484020272 What suprised us about money exchange?

We were suprised that money was backed up by nothing after world war 1, which means that money was just paper assigned value to. Also by the concept that Money essentially is something we gave value to if everybody stopped valuing it, its meaningless. 

What confused us?

If money was not backed up gold or diamond, then could the country produce how much ever money the country can print. 

What do we want to learn more about?

How were the products priced in the start?
In the future, will paper money be replaced like barter trade was replaced?]]> 2021-05-03 06:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484020272 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484021350 1. We found it surprising that money can isolate you as when you are rich they think of you as an individual while the poor people are thought of as a collective
2. We found it confusing that how people can just isolate themselves as long as they have power even without the consent of others which shows how much power can affect someone
3. Why can there not be a universal currency and will it ever be that humans have a single currency instead of so many different currencies]]> 2021-05-03 06:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484021350 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484021617 1. Something that surprised us is that money being traded for gold was prominent not long ago just before WWII. 
2. How was there sufficient gold during times when money used to be traded for gold because there was a lot of money and in today's world there is a significant difference between the amount of money and the amount of gold there is. 
3. How was money forgery prevented in the early stages when paper money was introduced? ]]> 2021-05-03 06:26:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484021617 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484030007 1. One thing that our group found surprising is that currency notes and coins were only recently introduced and for many many years earlier gold, silver or other products were used to buy and sell goods
2. One thing that confused us is how the system of using currency notes originated and the switch from gold and silver coins to currency notes and coins happened. Another thing that we found confusing was that how did every country create the value and domination of their money?
3. We want to know how they printed notes before the printing machines were even created. We also want to know how all the countries in the world adapted to a change as big as going from barter system to notes and coins.

One thing we found surprising was the evolution of forms of money. From metals to paper and now payments, etc can be done online aswell. 
2. What we found confusing was the invention of regional currency (rupees, euros, dollars, etc). Instead, a universal currency would work just fine so that there is easier to work out things such as trading in all parts of the world.
3. We would like to learn more about how we can go beyond banks or different forms of money in the future.]]> 2021-05-03 06:31:09 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484034128 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484049824 1) It was surprising that racial identity is fluid and can shift over time. Being white in a society means living a privileged life. 
2) How colour defines having a privileged life
3) How these racial constructs came to be, and the history of it. Were they different before?]]> 2021-05-03 06:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484049824 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484050322 1. It was quite surprising to see the article been able to quantify qualitative data values, such as the colour (or rather, the shade/gradient) of skin, self-identity, and markers of social construction. Furthermore, race is not biological, yet, it is still present in every single country. It was shocking to hear that even in these modern times of the early 21st century, people are still been discriminated against based on the colour of their skin. 
2. For us, it was quite shocking to see how governments, the places where rights and justice is taken place, still imposes such discriminatory policies against their own nation's citizens. Furthermore, why are there no laws or strict actions against racism implemented? Why are offenders still been let go so easily for horrific acts? How hard is it to place strict laws on something horrible we still is prevalent? 
3. Despite this, there are still some "fake" cases that appear before courts, just in order to gain attention on acts that are not actually determined as acts of racism. Because of these "fake cases" and their rise of it, judges are themselves been forced to act upon it. However, how do you actually differ from a fake case to a real one, and what constitutes as a real act of racism? Furthermore, if police officers are themselves shooting people of the other colour, then how do we trust? They are the representatives of the law themselves, and they are breaking it. ]]> 2021-05-03 06:37:48 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484050322 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484051658 Something that surprised me was how racial identity can change over time, i was curious about how racial identity can change.

Something that was confusing was that the law was passed in 1964 but the employment rate is still high today, and something else was how and why people even the government still discriminate against other races even though it’s already the 21st century.

Questions we wonder about would be how much longer would it take for people to stop discriminating against others, whether the government would stop this act or still support it and why have the whites been considered better than others, is it something related to how they managed to control the world long ago?]]> 2021-05-03 06:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484051658 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484052339 1. Something we found very surprising was how people change their perceptions on what race they belong to depending on their situation, relationship, time, and experience.
2. We were confused as to why race actually started and became a thing? Like who created it? Was it society's decision as a whole or just one individual?
3. We want to learn more about why Whites are considered superior to Blacks, and why was this not the other way round when race was created? We also want to know when the whole racial discrimination started?]]> 2021-05-03 06:38:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484052339 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484052471 1. Different People look at race and the color of people differently because brown in India is considered as black in South Africa etc. How this is a huge topic and people are discriminated and are biased because of this concept but still why and how people are discriminated against their race is really vague and unethical. 

2. Why are white always considered as superior and why are black people considered inferior. Why can't this be vice versa.
 
3. How the discrimination between white and black actually came about in history. How geographical regions came into this concept and how this affects the discrimination of people on the base of their race and color. ]]> 2021-05-03 06:38:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484052471 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484052751 1) Race is not something that we are born with but is more fluid. How race affects your social economic background.
2) How can race be something that is fluid is something that confused me. Along with that, if race is something fluid, how would it affect our socio- economic background.
3) I want to learn more about how race is plays a key role in countries and how they are treated differently in developed and developing countries. Along with that, I want to learn about what gave rise to the idea of race and why.]]> 2021-05-03 06:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484052751 oindrilamandal1 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484064495 What surprised you? One thing that surprised me is that Race is not biological, it is a social construct. It was also surprising that Black males are 21 times more likely to be shot and killed by the police than a white male.

What confused you? Something that is confusing is how the origin of white supremacy began. How were caucasian skins considered to be superior than others? Could it have started by the KKK? What determined the white westerns to be superior and the coloured to be disadvantaged? Another thing is that how are there so many people with the same mindset to discriminate against different races?

What do you want to learn more about? What practices can we include to solve this problem of discrimination. How did the discrimination begin? What are the different ways race is perceived?]]> 2021-05-03 06:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484064495 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484067836 This activity has given me a deepened understanding of social construct because I have understood in a digestible manner the role of the 3 of the social constructs and I also came across examples of the different social constructs in the sources. One thing that I specifically came to know through this activity was about the history of the 3 social constructs and how over time it has developed. ]]> 2021-05-03 06:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484067836 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484071533 With the peer learning that has taken place in these breakout discussion groups, paired with the activity at hand, it has definitely deepened my understanding of social constructions of reality. It was very interesting to look at these topics from different perspectives, and how my peers interpret the ideas presented to us. I felt quite intrigued by the money exchange, as there are so many constructions of reality that are formulated there, and are accepted by society for hundreds of years. The idea of paper currency is still a social construction of reality that I am wrapping my head around, as I still cannot believe that a piece of paper can hold such power. ]]> 2021-05-03 06:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484071533 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484072021 It has helped deepen my understanding of social constructions as people aren't categorised because of one thing but there are many things that are placed by society to segregate different members of society which causes a lot of differences in opinion and it doesn't help any person involved yet people believe that discriminating will somehow help society develop even though it has proved to do the exact opposite. I have also realised that what we may think is okay may not be so well received by others which can be due to the separation that was caused by the social constructs of society.]]> 2021-05-03 06:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484072021 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484072412 Discussing in groups and learning and understanding multiple perspectives on a topic, I definitely have a much better knowledge and understanding of social constructions of reality. Many questions and confusing elements about these social constructs that came up during the discussion could actually be resolved within the group and we could find out the opinions of the other people of the same age as us and how they differently interpreted the video/article. The article about race was not quite clear to me and there were many confusing elements but after the discussion within the activity I could understand why the author put forth the information in the matter they did and what does she mean to imply with regard to social constructions of reality. ]]> 2021-05-03 06:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484072412 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484074625 I think that after this activity, I could deepen my understanding about different stereotypes of people. For example- Racism. I can view racism from different perspectives, opinions & views on it. I also got to know about new topics which are related to these constructions like I got to know how Sex & gender are different and how Money came & how it evolved from one period of time to another. ]]> 2021-05-03 06:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484074625 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484075713 I think that there will be an everlong barrier between the unity of humans and of humanity. There has always been conflict, and I believe that conflict should remain to maintain the balance of the world. I do think that some of there barriers may be extreme, for example racism and supremacy, but I do not believe that these social constructs will just fall apart. Since different peoples are from different parts of the world, we as humans will always be different, physically, ethnically and socially. I believe that there is nothing we can do to change that.]]> 2021-05-03 06:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484075713 https://padlet.com/alexis_anderson8/zoq0cj2ij3a43wbg/wish/1484075912 This activity has really deepened my understanding of the social constructions of reality because I got to see new perspectives about these social constructions and got to learn a lot of new perspectives which was really enlightening.

Before this, I never really thought about why and how things like gender, money, race, etc. came into existence. I just accepted them and never really wondered why they were there.
