Description
Part 1 due this Friday Noon 12 pm Read the following article and answer the question below: The balance between numbers of males/females and how that affects behavior is fascinating. How do men behave if they are alone in a room with 10 women? Think of the reverse, how would the energy in the room change if there were 10 men and only 1 woman in the room? Who would call the shots in either scenario? Thinking of this situation, place that dynamic in early colony of Jamestown, where the colony was trying to survive as the first establishment in America with Native Americans, the Spanish, and starvation just around the corner. After reading this article, give some examples as to how the scarcity of women in the early colonies affected gender roles in a different way than their hometown back in England. http://www.virtualjamestown.org/essays/brown_essay.htmlLinks to an external site.
