Abstract
Social roles and role expectations, which are experienced by men and women in concrete social situations as binding norms, are dependent on the culture of the society, in question, which itself is again the result of historical. processes often reaching far back into the past. Similar is the case with family and sex roles of every human society irrespective of the degree of technical development. The players of the roles are mostly neither aware of the cultural nor of the historical dimension of what they feel as correct behavior. In case or the older roles, the role expectations appear to be more obvious, natural and universally valid~ Hale and female roles are not defined by different. cultures differently and are by no means determined by the physiological differentiation or the sexes as such (Mies, 1980) •
