The topic of our group presentation was A Dialectical Model of Family Gender Discourse: Body, Identity and Sexuality. The goal of our article was to propose a dialectical model that represents gender discourse in families. The focus of my research paper is also the same, focusing more on gender and identity in a family. The articles I research fit this topic quite well, especially touching on gender and identity in the family. I used three articles that touched on my topic; “Gender, Identity, and Language Use in Teen Blogs,” by David Huffaker and Sandra Calvat, “Sociologist Examines Gender Roles in Evangelical Families,” by John Bartkowski, and “Gender Talk of Family Business,” by Sharon Danes, Heather Haberman, and Donald McTavish. The “Gender Discourse on Family Business” mainly focused on identifying discursive styles and also changes in family structure. "The sociologist examines gender roles in evangelical families, focusing on the gender roles of the husband and wife. In the latest article, "Gender, Identity, and Language Use in Teen Blogs," he examines issues of online identity on the their gender and identity All articles are slightly different but focus on gender roles and identity “Gender, Identity, and Language Use in Teen Blogs,” by David Huffaker and Sandra Calvat, the article explores the concept of the World Wide Web. e. its use among tee, men and women. The Internet is one of the most popular and common resources among teenagers and probably one of the most used activities out there "while physical constraints such as body, biological sex, race or l "age can have a profound effect on self-definition and self-presentation, many of these attributes become flexible in online environments" (Calvart & Huffaker p 26). This leaves adolescents with a very flexible possibility to explore their identity and play with it through different languages. Regarding language use and gender, traditional roles reveal the male role as agent, self-expansion and individuality are the rule. The female is said to be communal, embodies emotional expressiveness and dependent on the needs of others. The traditional roles I just explained go hand in hand with the psychological perspective of gender discourse that my group and I discussed in our presentation, according to which "sex differences have been an oft-recurring theme in American psychology, which is generally characterized by essentialist explanations of gender and gender". individualistic self-understanding.
