Girls today outperform boys throughout school. There are several sociological explanations for why this might be, and why this has changed in the last twenty to thirty years, before which boys tended to outperform girls.
According to Item A, sociologists disagree about whether differences in achievement between boys and girls is due to changes in the wider society or processes that occur in school. In terms of girls outperforming boys, one possible explanation for this is the change in women’s role in society at large. Sue Sharpe conducted a study in 1994 which concluded that girls today had very different priorities from their mothers and grandmothers. Instead of prioritising marriage and family, they prioritised careers and financial independence. This can be seen in the context of legislative changes in the 1970s (such as the Equal Pay Act and the Sex Discrimination Act) and the successes of the feminist movement in making society more equal in terms of gender. This coincides with changes in family structure (such as Wilmott and Young’s idea of symmetrical families) and changes in the economy (more service sector and public sector jobs and a decline in manufacturing and manual labour). This could easily go some way to explain why girls are now performing better in school, as they see education as a realistic route to success and financial independence.
The impact of globalisation on the UK economy has arguably had a negative impact on traditional male occupations with career paths being less clear than in the 1960s and 1970s. As such, some argue that boys are increasingly disengaged from school because they don’t see a future for themselves in traditionally male occupations. However, a counter-argument to that is that qualifications may be of more importance to boys now than when they could expect jobs in traditional manufacturing and primary industries. While changes that have made society more equal in terms of gender might explain why girls no longer lag behind boys, they are less clear on why boys are not able to succeed where girls do.
The opening sentence of the item implies that these differences are apparent before children start the process of secondary socialisation in school. This may be due to primary socialisation in which feminine gender roles coincide with educational success. Girls are expected to be more compliant, calm and diligent than boys are; to behave well and even to read and write more than boys. This, combined with economic and social changes that mean that girls can now achieve more out of educational success, could explain gender differences in achievement. However, some sociologists would suggest that these gender norms support a particular form of modern education, and therefore it is changes in education and assessment that have brought about this difference, rather than changes in society. Mitsos and Browne, for example, argue that there has been a feminisation of education. They referred, for example, to the predominance of female teachers in primary schools, providing positive role models for girls. Others have pointed out that GCSEs, when first introduced, included a lot of coursework which girls tend to perform better in as they tend to be more meticulous and careful. However, coursework has been decreasing as a feature of A Levels and GCSEs in recent years and female performance has remained high and above males.
Other issues and processes within schools that could explain the differences between male and female performance could be labelling: negative labelling of boys as troublemakers and positive labelling of girls as model students. Sociologists such as Jackson (1998) have identified that schools having higher expectations of girls, both in terms of behaviour and attainment. Related to this is the issue of anti-school subcultures. Although Willis was mainly interested in the social class of the children he studied, it is important to note that they were ‘the lads’. The combination of negative labelling and anti-school subcultures has an impact on the nature of interactions between teachers and male and female pupils. Most teacher interactions with girls are about teaching and learning whereas, according to Swann and Graddol (and others), most teacher interactions with boys are about behaviour management. However, this might be less to do with processes in schools and more to do with gender socialisation at home and through the media.
In conclusion, then, there are clear differences between girls and boys in education in terms of their achievement. Girls are outperforming boys across the board and this appears to be not due to a ‘feminisation’ of education, but instead due to equality in society and higher expectations, compared with norms and values that are more consistent with educational success.

meena went to a bank to withdraw Rs. 2000. she asked the casier to give her Rs. 50 and Rs.100 notes only meena got 25 notes in all find how many notes of Rs. 50 and RS.100 she received.<br /><br />DO IT QUESTION BY ELIMINATION METHOD FOR CLASS 10TH
Answer: 10 Rs.50 notes. ; 15 Rs.100 notes
Explanation:
Let the number of RS 50 notes received be x
Let the number of RS 100 notes received be y
Since Meena got 25 notes in total, this means that:
x + y = 25 ...... equation i
Since Meena went to a bank to withdraw Rs. 2000. This means:
50x + 100y = 2000 ...... equation ii
Combining both equations
x + y = 25 ....... i
50x + 100y = 2000 ...... ii
Multiply equation i by 50
Multiply equation ii by 1
50x + 50y = 1250 ...... iii
50x + 100y = 2000 ...... iv
Subtract equation iii from iv
50y = 750
y = 750/50
y = 15.
Therefore, since x + y = 25
x + 15 = 25
x = 25 - 15
x = 10
The number of Rs.50 notes received is 10
The number of Rs.100 notes received is 15.

plz answer plz explain your answer
question relate to Nepal
Answer:
Both the economy and government of Nepal have been extremely volatile. There has been substantial influence thwarted by larger, more developed nations that continue to show drastic fluctuations in economic stability, self-sufficiency, and sovereignty.
Additionally, the current primary industries do not seem to be encouraging the expansion into technology like so many of the more developed nations. Globalization has been relatively nonexistent and there remains little incentive to expand and promote international trade/commerce.
Without ample infrastructural change and major technological and or industrial revolutions, the nation will likely not see the great economic growth displayed by both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, both notably rich and heavily dependent on natural resources.
Jack really wanted a date with Lacey, so he made sure to consider what had worked for him in the past when asking for a date. He thought about the type of approach to which she might be most susceptible. Having determined what he thought would be successful, he approached her with confidence. Jack is channeling the philosophy of which theorist
Answer:
- Juli-an Rotter
Explanation:
In the given case, Jack is attempting to direct the American Psychologist Juli-an Rotter's "Social learning theory" in order to ask Lacey for a date.
In this theory, Rotter explains that one can learn new social behaviors by observation, as well as, the review of the rewards or punishments that a specific behavior produces. Here also, Jack observes his previous behaviors and approaches that he had displayed and the rewards associated with them. Therefore, he learns about those behaviors that had worked successfully for him, and hence, he decided to use them only to approach Lacey in order to get the expected reward.

Animism and egocentrism represent limitations in the preoperational child's thinking in that they indicate an inability to:
Answer:
Animism and egocentrism represent limitations in the preoperational child's thinking in that they indicate an inability to: distinguish between different or real perspectives.
Explanation:
Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) developed a theory which claims that children develop through four stages of cognition: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. Animism and egocentrism are limitations seen in a child's thinking on the second stage, the preoperational stage.
Animism means the child believes inanimate objects have lifelike qualities. She believes, for instance, that an object may have feelings.
Egocentrism means the child cannot differentiate between her own and other people's perspective. Have you seen a child playing hide-and-seek by simply closing her eyes? That is an example of egocentrism. She thinks you cannot see her because she cannot see you. She does not understand yet that the two of you have different perspectives.
As we can see, the two concepts show as child's inability to distinguish between different (egocentrism) or real (animism) perspectives.
