A guide to help students understand the changes in traditional male and female roles occurring in society summarizes traditional behavior patterns and current changes, followed by an example of a student discussion and a class exercise. Topics include (1) who pays on a date, (2) names used to identify people, (3) women serving in the military, (4) identification of sex role stereotypes, (5) sex role stereotyping in textbooks, (6) women and sports, and (7) employment goals. A chapter focusing on the various rites of passage into manhood in the American society discusses the socialization of the American male and the alternatives to the problem of masculinity rites. The final chapter discusses the traditional women's role in dating, compares courses males and females take in school, reasons for marriage, and women's work and men's work in both the home environment and in the workplace.
