It is clear that men and women are very different physically. This can be determined by weight, shape, size and anatomy. It is these physical differences that serve beneficial functions for both people and are important for survival. However, psychological differences tend to be less obvious, but are profoundly important as they show how men and women respond differently to a variety of situations and how men and women act differently in relationships between friends, between their children and between them. For starters, men have much more testosterone than women, which explains the aggression they have when it comes to activities like sports where competition is involved. Women, on the other hand, have much more estrogen than men, which explains the tendency to look after children or people in need. Additionally, men, on average, have 25% less corpus collossum in their brains, meaning they have the ability to think nothing. Their brain is only active when they are focused on something and so; I am unable to concentrate on more than one problem at a time. On the contrary, women's brains are always in motion as they are active 24 hours a day. Women are multitaskers and can keep many things in their heads at the same time and are able to solve problems between multiple tasks. These characteristics date back to caveman times, when men were hunters and had to be focused and silent to catch prey. The women, on the other hand, were the gatherers of the village and were always looking for something, whether food or material for making clothes, etc. while they took care of their children. This ability that women have to think with...... middle of paper...... confidence, but they also experience "...the faithfulness and loving-kindness of God towards others" (Amodei 89-90) as well as a promise for a more successful marriage. Overall, I find this topic to be of utmost importance to me because I want to follow God's plans for marriage, so that if I get married, my marriage will be successful. It is for this reason that I am chaste and I feel that learning about this topic in class has made me grow in chastity. I have learned that chastity is much more than simply avoiding sex until marriage, but also involves a lot of modesty in both actions and words, which in turn supports commitment and promise to Christ.
