BLOG #5--Cooperation and Competition across Girls' Play Activities."

I agree with Marjorie that girls tend to not have a distinct leader rather they rotate positions. From personal experiences girls do exhibit the willingness to share power and rotate in hierarchy while boys keep whatever social status they are given. I think this happens because our society encourage girls to share and get along with one another while it is seen as being okay if boys don't get along. This is not to say that girls are not competitive but it is almost like their level of competiveness is a lot of notches below that of a boy. Since girls are taught to be and are seen to be a certain way I think they subconciously become that image we have of them.
