The Existence of The New Man and Gender Roles Within Families

· My main aim in this project is to find out whether the 'new man'

exists and if the gender roles are equally shared out between the

husband and the wife. In order for me to find out this I will use

various different research methods and also by looking at different

sociologists findings.

still remain responsible for the bulk of domestic labour in the home'

I have chosen this hypothesis because I believe that equality is vital

in society and that people should equally take part with the house

work.

project are participant observation and questionnaires. I have chosen

participant observation so I ca see with my eyes what really goes not

quick and easy method to get some information.

· The secondary data research methods I will be using are research

studies and statistics. I will be research on many sociologist and use

there research result to help be prove my hypothesis. I will also use

statistics so I have facts and figures to support my hypothesis.

· Overall the results that I have got from doing my research methods

was that my hypothesis was correct that women still remained doing the

bulk of the house hold labour. Even though the couple gained more

equality than the past.
