Step 1 Introduction
Gender and culture are closely interwined, as culture influenced how people view gender roles, expectations, and identities. Culture shapes how individuals understand and express gender, and gender influences how culture is interpreted, understood and expressed. For example, in some cultures, there may be a greater emphasis on men being the primary breadwinners, while in others culture, gender roles may be more equal. Additionally, cultural norms may affect the way people view and interact with those of different genders, such as whether different genders are expected to dress differently.
