Boys know more about how the world works than girls.
You have stated your opinion and why. Next, give some proof or evidence. Your statement makes sense but needs to have accurate punctuation. What do all sentences start with?
I think girls know more about How The World Works because girls goes out more and they care about the world but boys just dump their rubbish on the floor
Great you have an opinion and have justified it by stating girls care more about the world. I am not sure about your evidence though. How does dumping rubbish relate to how the world works?
You have taken an interesting perspective, Karis. Can you provide evidence to show that most inventors are boys rather than girls?
Next time, make sure you punctuate accurately. I know you know that a sentence starts with a capital letter so always check you have used one before you publish your work.
To punctuate accurately you should have added a fullstop. Try not to forget next time. You have an opinion and a justification. What evidence do you have to support your opinion?
I think that boys know more about how the world works than girls because they invented most of the things we have today. They invented the light bulb, cars, the internet and much more.
You have certainly given some good examples to support your opinion. Next time, though, convince me. I can think of many women inventors as well as many men inventors. How do you know there are more men inventors than women? Your punctuation, spelling and grammar are accurate. Well done.
I think that boys know more about how the world works because girls just waste money and boys know more about how the world works and that boys think before they do things unlike girls who just buy stuff.
I believe that no gender has an advantegde over each other because we all learn at different speeds as a girl or boy.Our teachers give us the same amount of education so no one would have a advantedge unless they have extra education
i do not agree with you Avaneesh I think that some people are more gifted than others eg some are good at sports or art or maths Boys also invented most stuff.
It is great to see people responding, however, your response must be your best effort. Michelle, make sure you have used accurate punctuation, spelling and grammar.
Avaneesh, you have brought in an interesting perspective -that no gender has an advantage. William also brings in a very valid point - giftedness. What do you think? Does everyone in Mr Roper's class learn at exactly the same rate, in exactly the same way? Are you all the same?
I think boys know more about how the world works because boy usually use technology more often than girls because most of them are addicted to it. Therefor boys have used it for longer so they will have more experience with technology. This is just my opinion.
i think boys are smarter than girls when it comes to inventions , because boys made more inventions and know the knowledge about it that as girls dont know.
I think that boys know more about how the world works then girls because there are people like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Issac Newton, Bill Gates ad Steve Jobs. All these people have invented something that we still use today or they have discovered something very astonishing but you don't hear about many girl inventors, scientists or historians.
What about Marie Curie, Randice-Lisa Altschul, Barbara Askins, Hedy Lamar, Dr Temple Grandin, Staphanie Kwolek, Rachel Zimmerman? These are just a few women inventors. All the inventors I have mentioned have had an impact on our lives. So, now that I have challenged your statement do you think you could find accurate evidence to support your opinion?
I think that boys are worse than girls because girls are more intelligent than boys and pay attention to the teacher and don't mess about.Thats my opinion.
I believe that boys are better smart in how the world works than girls because male people have brought up wars inventions etc for e.g The motor was made by men instruments were made by men electricity was made by man and the lightbulb was made my man even the technology we use today is made by man for example Steve Jobs his company apple is the leader of technology in the world. Though Im not saying that boys are far better than girls in the real world women have actually designed some things like the dodge journey was designed by a lady. These are my reasons and I hope you understand.

I believe that boys are no better than girls because we all have different views and we can all learn to be smart by practicing. Gender is not what determines one’s capabilities or success in school. I believe that one’s capabilities and success is based on how they are, their determination, and how they choose to prepare themselves. My information i got is from http://youthvoices.net/discussion/boys-vs-girls (Thank you)
Im sorry i do not agree. Michelle thats correct what you said but some people are gifted with something that other people dont have e.g Sports, art, music, cooking etc.
Is the provocation about being smart or have a better understanding of how the world works? Always make sure you have understood what the provocation states.
I am not sure that sitting in front of a scary movie without blinking shows that boys know more about how the world works.
Boys know more than girls about the World Works because in developing countries boys are brought up and educated more than girls.Also most inventions were made by boys.
In China baby girls are abandoned mostly while boys are brought up as inheritors of the family business.These civilisations chose boys as inheritors of the business:England 1800,Romans,Greeks. Look at these famous people:Hitler,Albert Einstein,Julius Caesar.
You have brought some very interesting thought to this discussion. It is difficult to inherit the family business if girls are abandoned. Does this necessarily give boys a better understanding of how the world works or does it give boys an unfair advantage? What if the world was not so dominated by males? What would change? Here are just a few women inventors: Marie Curie, Randice-Lisa Altschul, Barbara Askins, Hedy Lamar, Dr Temple Grandin, Staphanie Kwolek, Rachel Zimmerman and they have had an impact on your life.
How do you know that boys invented most of the things we use today? What about Marie Curie, Randice-Lisa Altschul, Barbara Askins, Hedy Lamar, Dr Temple Grandin, Staphanie Kwolek, Rachel Zimmerman? All these women inventors have had an impact on your life.
I think this is not true because it doesn't matter what gender you are. People have different abilities and that is not based on their gender. However, it is still a possibility that boys can be better at how the world works than girls. But girls can still be better. There is many boy inventors as well as girls meaning that they both have an overall equal knowledge over this unit.
I DO NOT agree with the statement. Boys DO NOT pay attention to the teachers and therefore DO NOT learn anything. The reason that there are so many male inventors is due to the fact that in the olden days, women were not allowed invent! (Which was really unfair)
BOYS: I think that boys are better than girls in the world because most of the boys at school are smarter. there are more good inventers like steve jobs, albert einstein and more.
I don't have an opinion on BOYS KNOW MORE ABOUT HOW THE WORLD WORKS THAN GIRLS.
because girls actually are smarter than boys. This is because girls on average mature faster than boys, thus the male advantages in intelligence do not appear until after puberty. Since girls mature faster, they have an upper hand of making decisions faster than boys at an early age but in the intelligence research in the 21st century that men on average are slightly (but significantly) more intelligent than women, by about 3-5 IQ points. some times boys are taller sometimes girls are taller and Taller individuals are more intelligent than shorter individuals.

I disagree that boys are smarter than girls because, look at the strike board, do you see any girls name. NO its because girls pay more attention to the teacher and boys dont so therefore girls are better than boys.
Boys do not know more about HTWW because both genders have about the same intelligence.You may think that many things are only invented by men but that isn't true many woman have invented great things such as Barbara Askins who invented a totally new way of processing film, and Bessie Blount who invented a device witch allowed people with diabetes to eat easier.Also in the olden days woman where not allowed to go to school becuase the men wanted to be smarter.
I think that boys and girls have the same kind of knowledge.It's scientifically proven that the average IQ for boys and girls is the same,from wiki anwsers.
it is if the boy or girl is smart for example if the boy is smarter or if the girl is smarter that is who knows more about how the world works. this is my opinion.
I disagree with this statement, because research shows that girls are smarter than boys. My evidence is that many males admit this. You can google search it.
yes boys are better than girls because boys do very well in school.

that is true but boys know more about How the World Works and girls are better at other stuff
Deleteyep william
DeleteAnother thing... Most teachers are female and they teach children about innovation!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think boys are better then girls because 99.99% inventors are all boys and mens
ReplyDeletenice karmkate i agree :)
DeleteI Know right GENUIS
DeleteOnly because women weren't allowed to invent thing. But the women who have invented things, are just as smart as the men who invent.
DeleteGo Sue Lynn
DeleteBoys are not better then girls because...
ReplyDelete1.Boys and Girls are both important.
2. Just because you don't know any female scientists doesn't mean their are not any!!!!
3. There are more female teachers then male teachers!!!
