What was your initial response to the sources you read for your paper? Include in-text citations and full reference entries in APA format to all sources you will be using for your Final Research Paper.

When I first read the sources for my paper, my initial response was that the articles are very biased when it comes to gender. I thought that the articles are biased towards the female children of the society. For instance, the first article about gender and leadership, I thought that there is less attention that is being given to the female gender in America when it comes to education (Collard & Reynolds, 2005). There is no gender equity in most of the systems. In the second article, I thought that girls, especially in the rural areas are being biased by the media.

Can you identify any biases that you might have about the cultural practices you will discuss in either Part I or Part II of your Final Research Paper?

Whenever you read an article, there are those biases that one is prone to have regarding their cultural practices. I can identify biases about the girl children that I could have about the cultural practices I will be discussing in my final paper. The society where we have been brought up in believes that men should be superior to women. The woman’s place is thought to be in the house. This is evident by the domination of males that exists in many leadership positions. The few women who are in leadership also face a lot of opposition. This makes me have a bias on women in leadership as I have grown up knowing these positions should be held by men.
