Cognitive Differences Between Men and Women

Paper Summary:

While external physical differences of men and women are largely accepted throughout contemporary society, more inward differences are often hotly contested. One of the most often studied of these differences surrounds the ways that the respective genders think. This paper examines research which delves into these differences. The paper concludes that ultimately, regardless of the ways that men and women think differently, and regardless of the reasons for these differences, society must examine the philosophical implications of the differences and decide whether it is worth the effort to minimize the impact that the differences have on gender roles across greater society.

From the Paper:

"Still, while it is obvious that there are differences in the ways that men and women think, questions also remain about which factors attribute to these differences. Some researchers indicate that these differences are due to nature, while others blame education, and still others are convinced that the differences are the result of free choice."
