Analyzing How Campus Male Presence Enhances or Inhibit
Journal Title: Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 24
Abstract
It is a fact that identity makes one to belong. One who lacks identity lacks belongingness. Proper identity is never stunted. A dynamic identity ever seeks positive enhancement. This poses a major challenge on female identity in contexts where males dominate. The dominance may either enhance and refine the female identity, or inhibit and destruct it. This study analyses how male presence at campus enhances or inhibits female students’ identity during academic interactions. We found competitiveness, selfbelief, being focused, and attention to schedules as campus male presence driven factors. We concluded that while the first three enhance female identity, the fourth is instead inhibitive. We recommended that the academic staff create a context that allows ease to pursue a desired study, by a desired mode, and at a desired time.
