As we get through Their Eyes Were Watching God, two very distinct themes should begin to crystallize for you. The first one, the one we will talk about for this blog, deals primarily with the differences in which men and women experience the world.
From the very first paragraph, the author makes it clear that there IS a difference, but this week's blog question is not about the author's words--it's about yours. So, in your opinion, is there a difference in the way men and women see the world and experience different things? If so, what are the differences? If not, why do you think that?

Man and woman. Girl and Boy. They are the same thing, there human. Humans are all the same, they have a leg an arm and many more things in common but what is different is how the male and female look at life. Life is a short thing you are born you live and then u die. But the thing about living is that people live life different than others like the male and female. Man and woman so see the world different in many ways. Me being a guy I might see the world different from a woman and I might see things different from another males point on life. That’s because I’m human and I’m different from everyone else. I have really mixed feelings about if men and women have different way to look at life. I male might want 3 kids and a job in the military and I female might want the same thing, but the thing they might see different might be love. Love is a strong thing in some ones live. There are many ways of love. Love to another man or woman or love to family or friends. First of all love is a strong affection for another based on kinship ties or attraction based on sexual desire. I found those two definitions in the dictionary. All I get out of those two definitions is finding love in the bed or finding love and things work between you and another person. Some people might take love and find it in their life or some people might force love or force trying to find love, and that is what men and women see things different in life is love, but both might be looking for love but it might be two different definitions. So men and women might see life the same or different but I think that they see love in totally different ways.
ReplyDeleteMen and woman can have similar traits and they can also have there differences.
ReplyDeleteIn society men are know as the ones to protect, romance, and be the “stronger one” of the two. Women tend to be known as the Feminine ones, some woman are needy and need men to be there emotional crutch. Men and woman might see the world the same way but might not always agree about, or like the way the other acts. For example, They might see a situation for what it is but men and woman would handle it differently. Woman tend to want to talk about there problems, and try and solve them by talking it out. Men just want to figure out what is wrong and solve it. But this is only the case of some men and woman because everyone is different. Not only are men and women different from each other. There are many different types of men and women so there are no two men or no two women alike. The world is seeming to change a bit though, women used to be the one to stay at home and now men and women both work. Also men used to be the ones to support the family. Lots of woman support there families now. So what is to say that the way men are judged and “stereotyped” might change 100 years from now, as well as the way women are judged for there actions as a women and how they are “stereotyped”.
Although humans are creatures of habit, with the world changing before our eyes, who knows what might happen.
In different parts of the world, or ever just in the untied states this might be different. In NJ men might be known in a totally different way in another country. What I mean by this is what they aspect from the male and what there role in the world is. So to sum this up, EVERYONE is different.
Men and women I believe that there s a difference between the two in the way they see things and the way they do things. Its like men if they see something or want something and its with in their reach we do what we have to in order to reach that goal or object. But sometimes we realize that there is no possible way for us to reach it and not damage our lives or we didn’t have what is took to reach it and realized that and we accept it. Women on the other hand I have learned that if they have something that they want or need they will get somebody to get it for them instead of going for it by themselves, not all women but most from my experience. Either that or they wait for it as if god where to drop it off to them. Sometimes they pin all their wants and needs into a dream and want someone to for fill that dream for them. And if that person is not successful they become angry at that individual for not comply with a wish that was not in their mind to be completed. I guess I view men as workers and doers, and women as thinkers and dreamers. Both are needed in the world for it to function they way it does but there is definitely a difference. Its like in the book their eyes are watching god. Janie has thought and dreamt of how she wishes her life to turn out since a little girl. She wanted to be married rich and fall in love with a man ect. And she pined all those dreams to men like Logan and Jody. And when they where not able to for fill these tasks she began to dislike them (along with some other reasons why she disliked them) but for the most part women make formats and blue prints of how they want their life to be and men (most of the time) are the ones sent to do it. And men make use of what they have and live life day by day and often dig themselves deeper into a ditch because we are willing to go to work before thinking about what we are building. But in some cases it works out good for both us men and women. Its like where a different bread I guess that is why they say men are from mars and women are from venues because we go about are life in a different manner. That is what I believe and my thoughts on this subject. :) 440 wordss!!!!!!! lol
ReplyDeleteThere is definitely a difference in the way men and women see the world and experience different things. In general women are more sensitive, emotional, romantic, we tend to follow and think with our heart, we are idealistic, we like to reach for our dreams. Women often live in a world of "fantasy", where everything we can think of is possible, because we have faith on the things we do and on the future. In terms of relationships women need to feel loved, important, appreciated by men, and be reminded of that much often, through actions and words. Women need constant attention and the sensation of being understood. We often want to choose the path were our heart is going to be happier ignoring our mind, because we hate to go through depression and tears, we choose the way that fits better and make us smile. We like to help more and our family comes first. Even though now days society has changed and women are being treat equally capable of performing the same tasks as men, women still the ones being more aware of the needs in the home. Man on the other hand are more rational, logical, they think and follow their mind, ignoring their feelings. For men money is very important, because they don't like to feel inferior to a woman that is earning more money than them. For men doing things by themselves is a symbol of efficiency, they like to achieve their own goals without asking for help, because for them asking for help is a sign of weakness. Men rarely talk about their problems and are more aggressive than women. In terms of relationships men tend to take the love of their girlfriend or spouse for granted, they think that they don't have to be romantic or sweet, because that's the "job" of the women. But that's when some relationships fail, because some men think that only in special days like San Valentine's day or anniversaries is when they have to act romantic or give gifts, and that's a wrong way of thinking. They don't like to show their feelings, and is very rare for a man to cry in front of people, while women need to express their feelings, man can hide them very well. The most frequent complaint women have about men is that they don't listen, while men said that women are always trying to change them. Men always think that they are superior just because of their masculine features, and some can become very arrogant. A man's deepest fear is that he is not good enough or not competent enough, this applies to sex too.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is definitely a difference between men and woman. I believe that men experience more things in life than women do. I’m not saying that women don’t do anything; I’m just saying that men have experienced a lot more. It’s true that men would look at a situation differently than women would. Men may grasp a situation with a sense of anger or violence, when women on the other hand would not. What I’m trying to say is that not all people think a like. Every person has their own perspective the way they look at things. It’s obvious that men are more dominant in certain situations. But in others women are. Most men are less concerned and do not feel the same as women when solving a problem. Almost in a way of being careless. What I’m trying to say is that yes, there is a difference in the way men and women see the world believe it or not. What also comes to mind is men would approach a girl differently than a man would approach a man. Lets say, for example, in a sport, I would be more cautious to a girl than I would to a guy. Meaning that, I would play a little more physical towards a guy. I think of it as guys having their playbook and rules and woman with their own playbook and rules. They all have their differences!
ReplyDeleteThere is a huge difference that I believe
ReplyDeleteNot just because of the physical appearance but that we all equal humans have completely different traits and character
I see that many people have certain beliefs, and I have this feeling that people will disagree with me.
I think the difference is that guys show more emotions than girls. They don show it through throwing a hissy fit or screaming, or crying and making things mess.
Guys show it a lot through quietness, lack of enthusiasm, like lifting weights when angry.
They fight expressing their sadness or anger through every blow,
So in this case I really do think that girls are overdramatic but guys do push it to the limit a lot when it comes to expressing there feelings
I believe there are many different ways men and women view the world. Men tend to look at the world and situations by looking at the facts, they look at situations for what it is and what it isn’t. the world in men’s eyes seem to be either black or white, there is no grayish middle color, it is simply either one thing or the other. Women on the other hand look at the world on a totally different level. Women will find that grey part in a scale of black and white. Women find every little thing that you do right and wrong, but mostly wrong. Men are also more layed back then women. Men don’t get all frazzled about the little things like women do. Men just go with the flow. But I have to say, if women are all up tight about something they usually try to find a way to make it better. Take my mother for example, if something goes wrong at the school she teaches at, she tries to find the best way to make it better. Men go with the flow which is usually a good thing, but can also be very bad as well. Men could go with the wrong thing. For example, if a man has kids and he is alone with them and they are just being wreckless, that could be a bad way to just go with the flow, somebody could get hurt because of it. Women on the other hand are good with those kind of things, they will do whatever they can to make they situation better without causing any harm. Another difference between me and women is the drama. Women cause so much drama! It is ridiculous! Men try not to get sucked into that stuff. I don’t know of one man who starts drama, but I don’t know of one women who doesn’t. that is a major difference between the two. Women also are a lot more emotional then men are. They will cry about anything. Men barely cry at all. There are two reasons a man will cry 1) Because they was a death in the family 2) Because their dog died, that’s it. Women will literally cry about anything. They will cry about relationships, they will cry about somebody talking about them, basically anything.
ReplyDeleteSo those are the main ways I think men and women are different.
Yes, there is a big difference in the way men and women see the world and experience different things. I think so of this for a good couple of reasons. See, with most guys, about 95% of them it's about being tough, man up and take responsibilities. Not only with marriage, it's about being mature and responsible. That's what mostly all teachers and a good amount of girls think. Now, in a guys point of view for most, it's about having fun, hanging out with your friends, and just doing whatever you feel like. The first choice is how marriages can last longer, the second is how divorces could happen. Now I'm not gonna stereotype girls and guys saying that girls are defenseless and can't stick up for themselves, and in some cases that may be true, or how a guy has to do everything while the girl doesn't or just stays home. I think both men and women should have the same equal amount of rights. Say for example if a couple is married, I say that each should work and take care of the house, bills, cook, clean, etc. Not the guy do this and the girl do that. No, I think girls and guys are both equal and can do the same things. I hate the fact that they say guys have to do everything and how girls don't, or not as much. We're all humans, so we pretty much do what everybody does. With most women, they rely on a man to do everything for them, or they need a man to make them happy or complete. But the thing is, most girls are just insecure and they don't stick up for themselves, or don't really have anybody they can talk or look up to. Take Janie for example. Her whole life she had to do what she didn't want to. Her grandmom forced her to marry Logan, and Jody and Logan would treat her bad and wouldn't let her be herself. Girls would be more happier if they would just stand up for themselves, and not be forced into something they don't want to do. So basically what I'm saying is that yes, there are A Lot of ways men and women see the world, but for most of them just be yourself, but also do what's right and each do some of the same things, because you can if you try.
