Construction of Gender Roles

The majority of media sources have helped to create gender roles for men and women. If you think about it, women are usually the spouse cleaning, cooking, tending to the family, and handling household duties. On the other hand, men are the dominate bread winners of the family.

This video is clipping from various forms of media which demonstrates how gender roles have been constructed and why they most likely will continue.

The video i created discusses female gender roles in relation to status and marriage. Throughout history women have fought to to be noticed and recognized in society. However, stigma still exist and the media and various other forms of entertainment add to this narrow minded view. This technological era we live in also influences people to believe that women are still subordinate and are merely sexual object ready to be taken. Enjoy my xtranormal creation! thanks

Boy and Girl Scout Badges

 Parents may believe that by putting their child in boy/girl scouts they are going to be learning life lessons, however, at an early age boy and girl scouts are encouraging gender roles.This article brings to light how boys are taught to be something important, like scientist, while girls are being taught to just enjoy the science. The article points out that the boys badge (left) is called the astronomer, while the girls badge (right) is called sky search. This is an example to how society is establishing gender roles and setting expectations for genders early in life.
