Mrs Wolder Stereotypes In Society

Every girl growing up always use to play dress up in clothes as a childhood past time for fun. Cindy Sherman used that passed time as a way to create art with photography and is known for her talent of this act and taking self-portraits of it. Her ideas come stereotypes of women throughout past and present society. These self-portraits are known to “confront and explore the representations of women in society.” (Jankauskas).

Whether it is watching a show on the television at home, or being outside in the real world, it is pretty self explanatory that every person wants to feel represented and supported, felt like they are noticed or acknowledged in today’s society. No one wants to feel as if they are an outcast or are inferior to someone or some group. Lately, there have been cases of certain groups of people being excluded from TV. Specifically, African American women. Is this really just a coincidence, or is something going on? Does TV really represent the diversity of Americans yet? It is evident that TV is not that diverse, but should be more diverse because people should be integrated with each other instead of separated, it forms stereotypes, and because

The wife dresses rather expensively; she wears scarlet stockings, her shoes are of new, soft leather, and she has a knack for wearing quite a large hat, which Chaucer claims to weigh roughly ten pounds. The wife, hoping to give off the impression that she has a rich taste for clothing, seems to veer a tad more towards excessive then she may have been hoping; since the dye for scarlet was made from rare little red beetles, it was rather costly. Intriguingly, scarlet is often affiliated with the sin of adultery, because of a passage in the Bible referring to "The Great Harlot" who "dressed in purple and scarlet" (Revelations 17: 1-6). So with her broad hips to support her big butt, and her hat the size of a boat to match, it seems Alisoun takes up a lot of space within the journey to Canterbury and the whole poem altogether.

Women often have a stereotypical role in our society. Whether it is today or back in the 1800’s. Women are to cook, clean and take care of the children at home. The fact is, women can do more than that. They deserve more respect than what they get. Sex nor race does not define who someone is. It is what is on the inside that defines what they are capable of.

I have witnessed several prejudice or stereotype instances recently in my life, whether it be a personal accusation or done to a friend. The most prevalent being sexism in a workplace environment. One event in particular was when I worked as a waitress at a golf course restaurant in Connecticut. The owner of the establishment said lowkey offensive comments in regards to the female staff. When I was putting away dishes in the kitchen, the owner would say “a girl should have your job in the kitchen and you should be out on the course” to our cook. In addition to comments such as the previous one, the owner would never let any of the female employees work as the bartender (which was the best paying job at the restaurant). He would always hire

Stereotypes affect people in their daily life all the time. People get offended all the time and they don’t deserve to be made fun. Blacks are always looked at if they are less than other people. Women are always looked at as weaker than men and men can do more than women can. Equality is a big problem in society and people don’t always view other people as equal, they feel they are superior to other people. Stereotypes have gotten better over the years but they need to be stopped for good.

The United States of America has taken great strides to shrink the gap between African Americans and white Americans, but have they taken the same measures in regards to gender equality? Women worked tirelessly for suffrage in 1913 and since then have made an effort to become equivalent with men; however in recent years, there has been a pushback from the radical conservatives to put women back “in the kitchen.” For centuries, women have been placed into these caregiving roles in which they are to be seen and not heard – always being dominated by the men they have been told to cook and clean for. Even now, in our Congress, women are being put down for standing up for this “great cause,” a cause that wouldn’t exist if people were all treated

He must be over fifty, that’s older than dirt. In today’s society, people tend to stereotype older people like; being out of touch with today’s society, when they reach a certain age, they’re no longer useful, or stubborn and they never want to try new things. On the contrary, I’m not my age, and I don’t ever plan on falling into that stereotype.

In today’s society the ideals of an individual defines everyone. The most prominent ideal/belief that I have is the idea that we should not teach the children of the future to believe the same things that their parents do. They should decide what they believe on their own. The reason that I believe in this idea so much is because of the amount of hate in the world today. People can’t get along because there are some people in the world that teach nothing but hate of others. The children that are see their parents acting hateful towards others for no good reason will copy their parents and will grow up thinking its okay. To me, it seems that all of the hate in the world, is taught, not inherent. Prejudices because of race, sexual orientation,

Commonly it is believed that women are naturally more nurturing than men. Which in turn sets a standard that women are more loving and peaceful, far more intuitive, stronger at communication, and by far are the better parent. However this creates a stereotypical box that many females fall all but short of fitting in, and in turn hinders their male counter parts of expressing themselves in similar ways. According to Melanie Tannenbaun of Scientific American, this stereotype that women are indeed the better parent harms not only the women that don’t to stay home, but the men that do. Ideas such as this then proceed to form unyielding gender roles that not only affect the home, but social norms as well

“Never judge a book by it’s cover,” Despite this saying a person can’t help but do the exact opposite. Humans judge others by the image they see whether that image of them is correct or not. This happens today and it happened back then. Queen Victoria ruled from the 1830’s in England to the beginning of the 20th century but the standards that the humans used to define others continued and adapted through time. Characters such as Mrs. Mann, Nancy, and Charley Bates were judged based on the assumptions of society in the Victorian Era.

This poem was created to inform readers about the stereotypes of women. Since I can never relate to women, it would be unfair for me to observe in this perspective. If I were to do so, it may offend women because my assumptions are not definitive enough. By searching for quotes, I formed a found poem describing women’s struggle in a patriarchal society.

A topic which appears in the news quite often is “Should Women fight on the frontline?” I researched and found people’s views “‘Women not fit enough to fight on the frontline’ says former female army major as US announces historic change of policy.” I researched more and ‘Let women fight on the front line: Defence secretary tells Army to end macho image.” The article written by Steve Nolan and Rosie Taylor states that it is against having women fight on the front line while the second article is mostly for women fighting on the front line but do also have opinions against women on the front line.

Stereotypes are particularly influential when decisions are based on qualitative, idiosyncratic dimensions (i.e., interpersonal skill) rather than on quantitative features (i.e., practical skill). Breaking down stereotypes is a formidable undertaking. Stereotyped groups such as women are likely to doubt their abilities based off society norms., which applies a disadvantage. An example of stereotype regeneration is the feminist movement; the movement is redefining their own beliefs about women and changing societies perspective in the process. The movement is constantly receiving backlash, but their work is imperative to leveling the playing field amongst gender equality. Many stereotypes are sexist, racists and homophobic. However,
