Sentence 3 introduces the concept of 'gender based' categorisation and its impact on the way people 'interact with one another'. This acts as an introductory statement since the remaining sentences discuss the sort of interaction taking place. "These negative characteristics" in 4 were first introduced in 2. So 2 will come before 4. Sentence 1 will come at the end of this text since it can't come between 2 and 4 even though 'hegemonic masculinity' is mentioned in both 2 and 1. The sentence with "these" should follow immediately after its first reference. Moreover, the last sentence tends to go in a different direction and states that a new discussion about a film will be made. Thus, the correct sequence is 3241.

Understanding the Sequence
To construct a coherent paragraph, we must analyze the logical flow of ideas presented in the sentences. The correct sequence '3241' leads to a structured discussion on hegemonic masculinity and its impacts.
1. Introduction to Gender Construction
- Sentence 3 introduces the overarching theme of gender categorization.
- It highlights that the categorization of individuals based on gender has been a historical influence on interactions.
2. Focus on Young Males
- Sentence 2 builds directly on the introduction by focusing specifically on young males.
- It discusses how the construction of gender amplifies negative traits associated with hegemonic masculinity.
3. Highlighting Negative Impacts
- Sentence 4 follows logically, explaining the consequences of these amplified negative traits.
- It connects the characteristics of hegemonic masculinity to increases in violence and aggression, particularly in homophobic hate crimes.
4. Case Study through a Film
- Finally, Sentence 1 serves as a transition to a specific analysis, indicating that the film "Boys Don't Cry" will be used to illustrate these concepts.
- This sentence wraps up the discussion by grounding the theoretical framework in a concrete example.
Conclusion
The sequence '3241' effectively establishes a logical progression from general to specific, leading to a focused discussion on the implications of hegemonic masculinity in society. Each sentence builds upon the previous one, creating a coherent narrative that culminates in the analysis of the film.

Similar CAT Doubts

Gender is not an easy conversation to have. It makes people uncomfortable, sometimes even irritable. Both men and women are resistant to talk about gender, or are quick to dismiss the problems of gender. Because thinking of changing the status quo is always uncomfortable.Some people ask: Why the word feminist? Why not just say you are a believer in human rights, or something like that? Because that would be dishonest. Feminism is, of course, part of human rights in general - but to choose to use the vague expression human rights is to deny the specific and particular problem of gender. It would be a way of pretending that it was not women who have, for centuries, been excluded. It would be a way of denying that the problem of gender targets women. That the problem was not about being human, but specifically about being a female human. For centuries, the world divided human beings into two groups and then proceeded to exclude and oppress one group. It is only fair that the solution to the problem acknowledge that.Some men feel threatened by the idea of feminism. This comes, I think, from the insecurity triggered by how boys are brought up, how their sense of self-worth is diminished if they are not naturally in charge as men.We do a great disservice to boys in how we raise them. We stifle the humanity of boys. We define masculinity in a very narrow way. Masculinity is a hard, small cage, and we put boys inside this cage.We teach boys to be afraid of fear, of weakness, of vulnerability. We teach them to mask their true selves, because they have to be, in Nigerian-speaka hard man.In secondary school, a boy and a girl go out, both of them teenagers with meager pocket money. Yet the boy is expected to pay the bills, always, to prove his masculinity. (And we wonder why boys are more likely to steal money from their parents.) What if both boys and girls were raised not to link masculinity and money? What if their attitude was not the boy has to pay, but rather, whoever has more should pay. Of course, because of their historical advantage, it is mostly men who will have more today. But if we start raising children differently, then in fifty years, in a hundredyears, boys will no longer have the pressure of proving their masculinity by material means.Q.According to the author why should we use the word feminisf?
