Step 1

Social stratification is present in all nations in the form of class, caste, gender, race, etc. However gender stereotyping occurs from birth when individuals are socialized according to familial norms and traditions, where boys are sent with fathers to hunt and girls are kept at home to help their mothers in the kitchen.
