Give a sociological analysis of the common saying, “boys will be boys,” and what it tells us about society and human behavior. How is this saying an example of “common sense” and its potential problems? What beliefs does it imply about the
nature?nurture debate?
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. The saying demonstrates a belief that (usually aggressive) behavior is inherent in boys and to some extent should be tolerated as an unavoidable part of life.
2. It is an example of common sense because it is a widespread saying betraying a commonly held belief—but a belief that is supported by popularity rather than scientific evidence.
3. The nature?nurture debate is the cultural division over whether who we are is more influenced by biology or upbringing and environment. The saying demonstrates a cultural bias toward nature as an explanation for what is seen as traditional gendered behavior.
