Music of New Zealand Essays

5 Musicians from New Zealand You Need To Hear Dear New Zealand, a month ago I wrote a blog titled “5 Australian Musicians You Need To Hear.” On my list, I included two NZ artists whom I absolutely love.

The social construction of gender is a theory that is based around the principle that when categorizing an individual in regards to their gender it is primarily determined by people because of factors from the society surrounding them.
