Answer 3

"What age should a girl start calling herself a woman?" and the first question is male or female? lol

A mix of quantitative and qualitative research always the best:

1. Male

2. 19

3. There is is an underlying aspect in Western society that woman should be seen as the carers, have "woman" jobs such a nurse, and vice versa for a man - much of this of course came from the writings of Pasons and generally Functionalism, which lost favor in the 1970s but which is still having an almost mirrored effect today - though things are  changing.

4. I dear say we are all influenced by all the option you have stated in some way or another.

5. Well not much really...

6. At times, yes.  We all reform into society in some shape or other, our peer groups do have great influence in our lives...

7. Newspapers, TV, and the Internet.

8 . for a man or a woman?  Again this is greatly influenced by the media's portrayal, but then again we are all individuals with our own opinions.

9. Not really at the moment, maybe when I am sixty years old I will want to look younger?

10. Hmm, I have never really though about that, I guess me, but really famous... what can I say i can be a great follower of being an egoistic fool.

11. None, though I do read a newspaper if that counts, and its the (Glasgow) Herald.
