Description
Sex and Gender: Sex refers to the biological characteristics that categorize someone as either female or male; Gender refers to the socially determined ideas, roles and practices of what is expected of male or female. These ideas and roles are assigned by cultural beliefs of a community. Culture: This is distinctive patterns of ideas, beliefs, and norms which characterize the way of life and relations of society. We already said that culture defines the roles of men and women. This brings about gender stereotypes. For example we normally assume that women cannot be leaders or cannot initiate development for the family, only men can. This is a stereotype because there are many cases where women are actually the breadwinners of their families. Men cannot be good in child caring, another stereotype which prevents men from childcare duties even if they might be good at it. Another way to understand these concepts is to know the meaning of patriarchy; systemic societal structures that institutionalize male physical, social and economic power over women. That is why it is important to understand the concept of power relations; the hierarchical power between men and women that tend to disadvantage women.

Design & Analysis of Algorithm

We study data structures so that we can learn to write more efficient programs. But
why must programs be efficient when new computers are faster every year? The
reason is that our ambitions grow with our capabilities. Instead of rendering efficiency needs obsolete, the modern revolution in computing power and storage capability merely raises the efficiency stakes as we computerize more complex tasks.
The quest for program efficiency need not and should not conflict with sound
design and clear coding. Creating efficient programs has little to do with “programming tricks” but rather is based on good organization of information and good algorithms. A programmer who has not mastered the basic principles of clear design
is not likely to write efficient programs. Conversely, “software engineering” cannot
be used as an excuse to justify inefficient performance. Generality in design can
and should be achieved without sacrificing performance, but this can only be done
if the designer understands how to measure performance and does so as an integral
part of the design and implementation process. Most computer science curricula
recognize that good programming skills begin with a strong emphasis on fundamental software engineering principles. Then, once a programmer has learned the
principles of clear program design and implementation, the next step is to study the
effects of data organization and algorithms on program efficiency
