According to my view, any educational institution should not give
biased treatments to any type of learner because it is both immoral
and unethical.
It is widely accepted fact that in most of the educational and
other institutions there are many discrimination like racial,
cultural, socio-economically, and gender bias present.
For example, In many Asian countries, girls are not allowed to go
to the schools or continue their further study.
Gender bias is also very common in western developed countries.Due
to it, women lack I the opportunities as compared to male
students.
Simone de Beauvoir gives the reason for subordination to men by
traditional women is that our own perception is the main cause of
it.He also states that women are equal and essential part of the

Due to cultural surrounding food, clothing, living, behaviour etc
of people are decided.
Hence, its impacts are vast in any society.
Cultural perspective influences the development of sexual behaviour
because cultural surrounding of an individual shapes the perception
of his/her identity. For example, the woman of Western countries
like U.S, England, France etc is more Frank and independent in
comparison to women of Middle East and Indian subcontinent due to
their cultural surrounding.
