The Stereotypes Of Young Males

Every day I am at school, my mother stays at home and my father goes to work through the New Jersey transit train. My mother is always watching culinary videos and cooking from afternoon until around 6 p.m. in the evening. My father does not come back at home until 7 p.m. When he arrives home, he simply eats dinner and watches the television. I was raised to think that I would have to work at a white collared job one day. I thought that men go to work while women bake cookies and go for a walk each day. During the weekends, both of my parents are at home together. However, my father does not insist on helping my mother in cooking food unless he is told to do so. Therefore, I have never seen my father and mother ever cook together with love even though they have so much time off on the weekends. Every child wants their parents to work as a pair instead of being divided on who should complete certain tasks. However, this event that every child wants to see their family is not fulfilled due to the discriminating gender roles that are part of our everyday life. Gender roles have been part of human existence for a long time and it affects how men and women are seen in society. Being born with a certain gender means you will be expected to follow the stereotypes pertaining to your gender. For example, boys will become masculine as they are exposed to the stereotypes that men are physically stronger, love sports, go to jobs and skilled at math. Girls will learn to be feminine

This paper focuses on gender roles in advertisements and further analyzes the affect these advertisements have on women. Gender roles refer to the ways in which individuals are expected to act based on their gender. These roles are very prevalent in society, and because of this, are also depicted heavily in advertisements. Although men do receive negative messages from advertisements, this paper focuses more on women because of the amount of violence and stereotypes that are depicted towards them in these ads.

Gender is an identity based solely on how an individual is evaluated by society. Individuals adopt social expectations for gender norms and behave accordingly. Gender is similar to race and social class in which you can socially classify a person. Also like race and social class, gender can also to lead to discrimination and prejudice. Based on social construction the view on gender looks far past classifications and categories. Society scrutinizes the nodes of several characteristics and observe the thin lines between essentialism. Sex is more of an ascribed status. Its social roles and expectations are based on genetic and biological behavior. Social construction strives to find that thin line between the male and female which are so often acknowledged as essential. Describing one’s gender is never relatively stable. An individual is always deviating or coinciding with the socially conventional form of stereotypes based upon gender. These performances normalize the essentialism of gender categories. As

In society it is very hard to get away from sexism. It shows up in the media, clothing products, toys, and even television shows. Not only do we have lingerie commercials on television but now they consist of very skinny models with big breasts and of course they are gorgeous and a size zero. What ever happened to the overweight women, or the flat chested lady that just had three kids, why is she not on the runway showing off the new items for Victoria’s Secret? From a marketing perspective; sex sells. It is unfortunate that it has to happen at all, not only does it happen to women but also to men. Both genders are being portrayed as sexist’s objects in many different aspects in our society.

The disrepair of our society is evident through the observation of a select few individuals. These individuals feel entitled to choose their identities, in gender and sexuality. These dissenters feel as if they deserve reimbursement for our inability to accept them. They believe that, due to their regard as outcasts, they are unable to pursue a whole and happy life.

At another person’s expense, stereotypes continue to misrepresent individuals. I detest that others think, because I am female, my ability is limited. That my behavior should stereotype how other females behave, and I should act accordingly. Based on assumptions about a person’s characteristics stereotyping was created. Stereotypes developed images derived from the behavior, sex, or gender of the individuals. We cannot make stereotyping disappear, but we can identify it for what it is. Negative effects from stereotyping can be dangerous, change behavior, or change an individual’s direction in life.

Gender stereotypes have always been a part of society through our communication and/or actions on a day to day basis. We see these stereotypes in “Day Star” by Rita Dove, “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid, and “Barbie Doll” by Marge Piercy. “Day Star” by Rita Dove is about a mother who felt overwhelmed in her life as a stay at home mother. “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid is about a mother trying to give her young daughter advice on how not to, as she put it, “be the slut she 's so intent on being”, as well as general life advice. “Barbie Girl” by Marge Piercy was about a smart young lady who did not look how society wanted her to look so she cut off her legs and nose, her biggest features according to society around her and died.

Once again, she finds herself in the middle of a crowded high school hallway, surrounded by strangers on all sides. Girls glare at her as if she was an enemy. She probably is, considering she is the new girl entering their school from somewhere else. Guys stare at her like she’s fresh meat, which she is. Some of those guys stare at her like they want to hunt her down, as a predator does to its prey. She keeps on walking down the corridor, keeping her head down with her hood covering half of her face. Having her earphones on and just listening to music, pretending as if they didn’t exist.

Scharlene, first of all I want to commend you on your post. Your candidness is praiseworthy. Most people would have taken the politically correct route and opted not to use such abrasive terms. I think by your use of these terms in an academic setting, it helped to solidify your argument. Some may disagree with my stance on the matter, but I would prefer someone be brutally honest with me than trying to sugar coat their feelings. For example, you mentioned the debate was fierce and there is no denying it. However, I feel Tom Horne was not being completely forthright, especially when he tried to use the words of Dr. King to justify his stance but manipulated the speech and only used a small portion. Nevertheless, I see your point about not dividing

Stereotypes not only pertain to commercial television but are also found in music television clips. In a study done by Rita Sommers-Flanagan, John Sommers-Flanagan and Britta Davis exploring gender role and content analysis of music television (MTV) in 1993 “results included the following: men appeared nearly twice as often as women; men engaged in significantly more aggressive and dominant behavior; women engaged in significantly more implicitly sexual and subservient behavior; and women were more frequently the object of explicit, implicit, and aggressive sexual advances.” (Sommers-Flanagan, 1993) The woman has been degraded to the weak sexual objects with only the power of their sexuality, and the men remain the more dominant powerful gender.

The theme of this paper is gendered stereotypes in the media.This paper will investigate the question, “To what extent are females stereotyped more than men in the media in the U.S.?” while looking specifically at examples from movies, music, and advertisements. To begin, an overview of history was given to provide insight on the progression of gender roles and the expanding media. Viewpoints on both male and female stereotypes in the media were investigated and analyzed to determine if females are, in fact, stereotyped more. The sources used in this investigation were evaluated to determine their credibility and what support, if any, they offered to the argument. After analyzing the information and sources, it was concluded that women are stereotyped more than men in the media based on the societal norms developed throughout history.

Gender stereotypes have long been a cause of judgment of individual performance in academic, athletic, and professional situations. Society has constructed and reinforced concepts of the quintessential male and female and their respective roles in the community. The expectations for each sex may incidentally affect their performance and success, especially when tasks seem to deviate from stereotypical gender roles. This experiment explores the effect of these judgments in stereotyped career settings.

To see a positive portrayal of an integral part of oneself is to feel validated as a human being. To recognize a face similar to your own be loved through the pages of a book or the glare of a screen can be emotionally overwhelming for minorities who often see themselves portrayed either in a negative light, or no light at all. For women, LGBTQIA, and people of colour, the onslaught of prejudice and removal of their persons from the media is a sad, but an unfortunate true reality.
