Hi,
I try to write an essay (150 words) about that subject. Here is my introduction and my first paragraph. Could you correct my mistakes me, please ? This is the really first time I have to write in english, so...
In my opinion, the gender doesn't matter when we talk about intelligence. In the following paragraph, I will show that the biological differences between men and women are not a factor of intelligence differences. Then I will take some exemples of women well-know for their work in mathematics or physics. Finally, I will relativize the concept of intelligence.
According to most of the studies, men and women do not have the same brain characteristics. For example, men's brain are about 10 % bigger than women's brain. Yet, in some regions of the women's brain are neurons more densely packed. But does the size actually matter ? Definitely not. Thus, if a difference exists, it's not for a biological reason.
Through the history, women have made advancements in the realm of science. Marie Curie, for example, is the most famous physicist. We may talk about these women for years. But we can answer that question : were these women intelligent ? Definitely yes.
By the way, which definition could you make of intelligence ? Most of us are going to definite it as the ability to know and understand. In fact, people think that mathematical and spatial abilities are the best representation of intelligence. And because men are better at rotating 3-D objects in their minds, people think that women are less intelligent. But they don't. Actually, they are better verbal skills and social sensivities. All depends on which definition of intelligence you give.
thanks !
