Conversation is a normal part of every day life. People converse everywhere they go; whether they are with their friends’, at school or even while at the store, a conversation is bound to ignite.

Throughout this story there are numerous instances and events that occur in which all seems lost at a dead end, but in those moment hope carries through and thrives.

As their time journeying down the road increases so do the dangers and obstacles they face

whether they should be passive or aggressive. In “50 Shades of Grey”, Anastasia is portrayed as a woman with typical female attributes; she has a low self-esteem and is portrayed as weak and unable to care for herself, demonstrating that she needs a man to care for her. She is even forced to sign a contract that requires her to work out four times a week.

When you think of Engineering what gender first comes to mind? Was it a man? Or was it a woman? Why do we associate genders with a profession? We do it because all of society does. We have grown up knowing that men usually are the ones doing the dirty work, and the women are stuck in the house cooking dinner.

Gender Roles can be defined as roles society expects people to play on account of their sex life.
