7 0

Anthropology is the science which studies the humans in society, also, the relations between this society and the environment. Modern anthropology is a discipline inside the anthropology. It tries to explain man through his social and cultural environment.

When anthropology as a discipline is applied to modern societies there is a factor that generates a problem, time. We don´t have enough historical resources to size the real impact of situations, for example, climatic problems.

In ancient civilizations studies, we employ a diachronic method so as we can measure the evolution and progress of cultural and natural events. In the case we study of modern civilizations, the consequences of different situations aren't quantifiable, so the conclusions we can get are partial.

Thomas decides to wear a dress to school because he finds them more comfortable than pants. Leanna decides to get a buzz haircut

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Thomas and Leanna are engaging in gender non-conformity.

Explanation:

As the name states, gender non-conforming refers to not accepting gender roles established by society.

Gender roles are specific behaviors, responsibilities and values attributed to each gender. This means a girl would be expected to dance ballet while a boy is expected to play football or not show his feelings too much, for example.

In this case, both Thomas and Leanna have chosen to not conform to their gender roles, doing what they want instead such as Thomas wearing a dress and Leanna having a buzzcut and swearing a lot.
