This is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) elective Cultural Challenges Among Genders online training course offered for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

     Men and women literally live in parallel, but different, worlds.
                                                                          -Deborah Tannon

The movement toward more egalitarian relationships between men and women has had a major impact on our cultural patterns of behavior, even though our society’s patriarchal view still has tremendous influence on gender perceptions and roles. For example, most all cultures treat boys and girls differently from birth. Because of this cultural diversity, the different genders tend to have different experiences, expectations, worldviews, and interests.

Awareness of gender diversities can help us understand why men and women often see things differently, and avert possible miscommunications as a result of these natural and societal differences.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.
