ABSTRACT
The immense scope, dynamic nature and perceived commonness of the nature of social concepts makes Social Psychology a challenging field. It, however, provides valuable insight into developing consistent and reliable frameworks to understanding commonplace phenomena. Gendering is one such phenomenon that often begins from an individual’s birth and continues to persist throughout various developmental stages. This affects one’s attributes, etiquette, choices, decision making and associated practices, that ultimately impact their course of life. Advancements in modern technology as well as multiple avenues generating streams of support are vital measures to curb the widening gaps, still prevalent in our world. This study emphasizes the interactions between an individual’s internal world, external environment, virtual spaces and social experiences in gaining perspective on the availability of opportunities for growth. Gendering or socialization according to dominant social norms can perpetuate generational cycles of bias and inequality impairing the ability to fulfill personal obligations, often due to marked disturbances in prioritization of tasks according to gender roles. Furthermore, there is also the internalization of gender based prejudice and discrimination in the form of sexism, in day to day scenarios, that promote inequality amongst the population. Therefore, we aim to explore the intricacies of gendering, sexism and prejudiced representations in family, academia, organizational and virtual environments, to uncover crucial aspects of career advancement and personal development of the oppressed.
