In addition, men and women’s cognitive scripts for a first traditional date both differ from and maintain traditional gender norms. High agreement among individuals is found for the sequence of actions and content that hypothetically would happen on a first date even though the scripts for men and women differ significantly. While the scripts for women emphasize the private sphere such as sexuality control, appearance, and conversation, the scripts for men emphasize control within the public domain such as arranging, planning, and paying for the date. Moreover, while gender roles are more established in experienced daters’ scripts, young adults’ interpersonal scripts for dating conserve the traditional gender-power ratio (Frieze 2016).
Furthermore, men and women have different understandings about the behavior of their partners when determining typical, positive, and negative dating experiences concerning nonsexual and sexually suggestive events. First, both men and women acknowledge similar events expected to occur on a typical and good date, even though sexually suggestive events remain more …show more content…

Moreover, men swipe right 46% of the time while women swipe right only 14% of the time (Hakala 2015), causing men to generally gain matches slowly over time as women pick up matches quickly.

According to Eric Lott (Love and Theft: The Racial Unconscious of Blackface Minstrels), blackface both in minstrel show and later in movies “spread misconceptions and stereotypes, and was used as a tool to define what constituted ‘blackness’”. One of the impact of The Birth of a Nation was the revival of the Ku Klux Klan. Those stereotypes were composed of a negative portrayal of African-Americans, represented as “idiotic, classless, child-like, unsophisticated, ignorant, violent, sexually aggressive, depraved and morally bankrupt characters” (The impact of negative stereotypes and representations of African-American in the media and African-American incarceration, by Tamara Thérèse Johson) and archetypes popular in the days of slavery and of the minstrel show became even more popular with the new medium of cinema that spread those visions to a larger audience (beginning right in the early 1900's). Donald Bogle describes five archetypes usually used to depict African-American characters, legacy of blackface and minstrel shows, in films. These archetypes consisted of the

Typically women are “supposed” to be the more attractive ones and are supposed to present themselves desirable for the man. Charter proves this assumption by noting, “A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.” He grapples, “A man will dress up for weddings and funerals” (Charter). Although Charter’s arguments are somewhat stereotypical, they are relevant in today’s society of how men and women perceive each other. Stereotypical couples on television are always bickering at each other about these similar topics.

By adulthood, most men and women have learned to behave in a gender-appropriate manner, which is socially acceptable in society. The ideal man must be strong, brave, and independent; however, a male craves as much or even more affection and love than a female, but if they show these desires, they are misjudged as soft or weak by other men and by women, too. Society’s idealistic view of a man differs from their biology, which shows a

Social Norms define rules or standards for evaluating what behavior is considered socially acceptable. They are a guide for what is considered appropriate in particular situations (Moran, Abrahamson & Moran 2014).

The article Dating Relationships in Older Adulthood: A National Portrait was written by Susan L. Brown, and Sayaka K. Shinohara. The general question of the article was primarily who (what kind of person) is dating later in life, and what is making someone date later on in life. The research hasn’t been done since the early 2000s, and so these authors/researchers decided it was time with the number of unmarried individuals rising. Previous works focused mainly on women and widows, and were long in-depth interviews on why they hadn’t been married or remarried. New research focuses on men and women, individuals dating and those who aren’t to show the differences, using the 2005-06 NSHAP’s data as a starting point, generating a national portrait of older daters.

Cultural identity plays a very vital role in cross cultural communication, people from a particular culture communicate with partners and employees from many different cultures and in this situation every individual strives to keep their cultural and individual identity. According to Gardiner and Kosmitzki, identity is defined as “a person 's self-definition as a separate and distinct individual, including behaviours, beliefs, and attitudes” (Gardiner & Kosmitzki, 2008, p. 154).

Ethnocentrism and its prevalence in U.S culture Ethnocentrism is judging another culture solely by the values and standards of one’s own culture. Individuals who are ethnocentric judge other groups in relation to their own ethnic group or culture. I think The United States likes to refer to themselves as the “big mixing pot” of cultures. I would agree, we do have a wide range of different cultures, but that does not mean that we do not “evaluate and judge other cultures based on how they compare to our own cultural norms.” I think us as Americans feel this way, because we are too scared to change what we have learned and known since birth.
