differences”.

First 5 minutes they were not allowed to talk with eachother and next 5 minutes they were allowed to discuss with other members of the group but no one was successful to complete the “ T “ . For sumup of the exercise all observers discussed the different behaviour of the group members and then Mr. Baber Shah Khan explained that as a team member all the participants have to exchange cards and they can complete the “ T ”.

of culture on gender, different popular quotations regarding men & women

4.8 Role of men/women in daily life(group work /presentations)
Indivisual
Activity profile were made by the participants in
which they indicated their involvement in different types of work and the
amount of time they allocated to each activity.
This exercise reinforced
lessions learnt during the discussion on self awareness. Men were particularly
by the fact that women were involved in numerous tasks through out the day with
very few breaks. Men also realised that their role within the household was
limited to the economic one. No time was being spent on nurturing family
relationships.
