Annotated Bibliography #2

"Two Spirits." PBS Documentaries. N.p., 20 May 2011. Web. 21 Nov. 2012. <http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/two-spirits/>.
 I used this source because it featured a few different videos with interviews of people from these tribes.  These individuals expressed their reasoning behind the Two Spirits and how modern day culture has interfered with it and turned it into a hate-crime breeding entity. They go into detail of how a 16 year-old was murdered in the name of their gender roll.  Lastly they feature a map of untraditional gender roles world wide.  I found this source credible because PBS tends to release non-biased information.
Nobelius, Ann-Maree. "What Is the Difference between Sex and Gender?" What Is the Difference between Sex and Gender? Monash University, 23 June 2004. Web. 21 Nov. 2012. <http://www.med.monash.edu.au/gendermed/sexandgender.html>.
This source was useful because it provided a home page with a brief overview of “sex vs gender”.  It informs the reader of the definitions of each and how we as a society get them mixed up and directly correlate them to each other.  The site also features side tabs that have sub-articles on the gender perspective in medicine, gender mainstreaming, common misunderstandings, gender-blindness, gender competence, gender studies, gender identity, along with gender and medical workforce issues.  This source is credible because it was published to a “.edu” website.

Goldstein, Joshua S. "Gender Roles." Gender Roles. Cambridge University Press, Sept. 2001. Web. 21 Nov. 2012. <http://www.warandgender.com/wggenrol.htm>.
This source goes into the details of gender roles in war.  Specifically in this section, WWII.  They talk about how the war shaped gender and vice versa.  They talk about how women had to take on the traditional male role of building aircrafts, bombs etc.  This source is reliable because the source of information refers to Cambridge University.
