Executive Summary
This formal report focuses on the changing gender roles and their impact on modern society. The report seeks to address what gender role entails by providing a description of what gender role is all about. The report also addresses the different gender expectations that have emerged within the spheres of society. For instance, the traditional view of gender role expectations existed in the past decades, with some present cultures still advocating and following the traditional norms. The formal report also determines the kind of gender role changes that have existed and the implications that they bring about to society. For instance, women getting a higher education and being at the same level as men have changed the traditional view of gender roles by making men participate in childcare and household chores. These transitions have resulted in a significant threat to men's social dominance. The other aspect is that women also demand representation and no longer accept little pay than men since they performed the same task. This issue has made men lack their leadership roles within the spheres of society by allowing women to take charge of financial capabilities and make men participate in the household chores. Hence, all these implications have placed men under a significant threat that needs to be addressed since gender roles of men are pretty diminishing as women rise.

Hence, the traditional view about women's gender role advocated that women should handle themselves in the manners that are nurturing. Based on the traditional view, women were not allowed to take any employment job apart from full-time jobs in their homes. However, men were viewed as leaders, where men were prescrib...
