Description

Sex and Gender: Sex refers to the biological characteristics that categorize someone as either female or male; Gender refers to the socially determined ideas, roles and practices of what is expected of male or female. These ideas and roles are assigned by cultural beliefs of a community. Culture: This is distinctive patterns of ideas, beliefs, and norms which characterize the way of life and relations of society. We already said that culture defines the roles of men and women. This brings about gender stereotypes. For example we normally assume that women cannot be leaders or cannot initiate development for the family, only men can. This is a stereotype because there are many cases where women are actually the breadwinners of their families. Men cannot be good in child caring, another stereotype which prevents men from childcare duties even if they might be good at it. Another way to understand these concepts is to know the meaning of patriarchy; systemic societal structures that institutionalize male physical, social and economic power over women. That is why it is important to understand the concept of power relations; the hierarchical power between men and women that tend to disadvantage women.

Risk Management Principles for Electronic Banking Trending!
Continuing technological innovation and competition among existing banking organizations and new entrants have allowed for a much wider array of banking products and services to become accessible and delivered to retail and wholesale customers through an electronic distribution channel collectively referred to as e-banking. However, the rapid development of e-banking capabilities carries risks as well as benefits. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision expects such risks to be recognised, addressed and managed by banking institutions in a prudent manner according to the fundamental characteristics and challenges of e-banking services. These characteristics include the unprecedented speed of change related to technological and customer service innovation, the ubiquitous and global nature of open electronic networks, the integration of ebanking applications with legacy computer systems and the increasing dependence of banks on third parties that provide the necessary information technology. While not creating inherently new risks, the Committee noted that these characteristics increased and modified some of the traditional risks associated with banking activities, in particular strategic, operational, legal and reputational risks, thereby influencing the overall risk profile of banking.
