Answer:
Explanation:
Question 1.
What is the important part of one’s identity? What teaches us the acceptable behaviour?
Answer:
To be a boy or girl is an important part of one’s identity.
The society teaches us the kind of behaviour acceptable for girls and boys.
We often grow up thinking that these things are exactly the same everywhere.

Answer:
We learn that most societies value men and women differently.
The roles women play and the work they do are usually valued less than the roles men play and the work they do.

Growing up in Samoa in the 1920s
Question 1.
Where is Samoa? Briefly write about the life of children there.
Answer:
Samoan islands are in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean. According to a research Samoan children did not go to school. They learnt to take care of younger siblings and fishing. They learnt these at different stages of childhood. Fishing being important, they learn long fishing expeditions.
Question 2.
Describe the life of the Samoan people in 1920s.
Answer:
As soon as babies could walk, their mothers or other adults no longer looked after them.
Some children at 5 years of age, took over this responsibility.
Both boys and girls looked after their younger siblings.
At the age of nine years boys joined the other boys in learning outdoor jobs like fishing and planting coconuts.
Girls continue looking after small children or do errands for adults till they were teenagers.
After becoming teenagers girls had much more freedom.
After the age of fourteen or so, girls also went on fishing trips, worked in the plantations, learnt how to weave baskets.
Cooking was done in special cooking-houses, where boys did most of the work.
Girls helped with the preparations of the food.
Growing up Male in Madhya Pradesh in the 1960s
Question 1.
Give an account of the growing up in Madhya Pradesh in the 1960s.
Answer:
Grooving up in Madhya Pradesh in the 1960s:
From class VI onwards boys and girls went to separate schools.
Girls school was designed very differently from the boys school.
They had a central courtyard where they played in total seclusion and safety from the outside world.
The boys school had no such courtyard and the playground was a big space attached to the school.
Every evening after the school, the boys watched as hundreds of school girls crowded the narrow streets as they looked very purposeful.
The boys used the streets for different things like to stand around idling, to play, to try out tricks with their bicycles.
For the girls, the street was simply a place to get straight home.
The girls always went in groups, perhaps because they also carried fears of being teased or attacked by boys or other bad elements.
Question 2.
Do we all grow in a similar manner?
Answer:
Examples of children from Samoan islands and Madhya Pradesh makes it clear they that we all grow differently. Even within our own family the childhood of our elders would be very different from ours.
Question 3.
How does the society make a distinction between girls dnd boys?
Answer:
From the young age society make a clear distinction between the two genders. Boys are given cars and girls are given dolls.
Through the toys the difference starts. The girls are dressed differently, are asked to speak softly. Boys on the other hand play different games, are considered to be tough.
Through this the children are conditioned to play the specific role when they grow up. , This even affects our subject and career choices later in the life.
