In sociology it is important to remember that "gender" and sex" are not the same. Gender is generally regarded as a learned process (boys are supposed to hide emotion and participate in reckless acts while girls should learn to cook and play nurturing games with dolls).
Social Constructionists view gender as a social construct, that is gender is entirely based on the way children are socialized...i.e. children are taught gender.
Essentialists view gender as going hand in hand with biology...i.e. boys act like what we know as boys because they have penii.
Hope this helps!

gender is different than sex.People are born biologically male and female but they acquire a gender identity within the social relations.

It means the same thing in sociology as it does in any other subject - as defined by the dictionary. Next time you need a definition of a word try http://www.dictionary.com/ ...

sex is male female.
Gender however is how someone acts as well as how they were born.
