We all use stereotyping, and most of the time we don’t even realize we are. I lived in a small town  surrounded by people who shared the same beliefs as me.  I would have never thought that I would ever experience  stereotyping. And I may have experienced and honestly never noticed it.  But this experience  stood out. It was a Saturday early morning, and I was picked up by one of my Wards leader. I had rode in a car with these other girls and we were driving to Provo to see the newly built temple

Toys have proven to be a valuable symbol of childhood innocence across generations, regardless of gender. The color of toys were changed to create a link between the toy and the interest of a particular gender (i.e. pink for girls, blue for boys). In Peggy Orenstein's Cinderella Ate My Daughter, she expresses the claim that color associations for juvenile playthings have reversed since pre-twentieth century. During the course of two interviews, Orenstein's claims prove to be, for the most part, supported

Build-A-Baby As a child, the anticipation of having the freedom to choose and make decisions on my own was something I had always longed for. One of my favorite memories of childhood was the exciting 1 hour long road trip to Build-A-Bear Workshop. As soon as I enter the store, my parents would let me go free to explore all by myself. My brain begins firing out serotonin and dopamine from all the bright colors and choices on display all around the store. Choosing the character of my bear was my

Just like children of today, children in ancient Greece loved to play with a variety of toys (Historyforkids.net), But in ancient Greece toy makers were not in a rush to make as many toys as they are now. Toy makers now are rushing to create a surplus of toys. When toys are made quickly they are also most likely made slopoly. If toys are made sloppily they are made with dysfunctions, when toys are made with dysfunctions they could possible lead to dangerous. Dangerous could be 2 things either could

don’t really think it matters what toy a boy a girl plays with they are all toys and both boy and girl will be exposed to both kinds of toy. If a girl wants to play with trucks she can if a boy wants to play with a Barbie doll that fine as well. I don’t think by making certain toys specifically for girls and boy changes anything. Doesn’t mean if a boy plays with a doll he will be more feminine. I do dislike it because I feel the toy industry in the way they market toy is just trying to shape a child

Toys ‘R Us, the famous toy store, is closing all stores in the U.S. It filed a bankruptcy in September and made the announcement that it was closing on Wednesday. This is a surprise since in the second half of the 1900s, Toys ‘R Us grew into a large toy store because of the amount of new toys, and the low prices. At one point, some people said that it won’t stop growing and it will keep getting bigger and bigger. Toys ‘R Us started in 1948, when a man named Charles Lazarus opened a kids/babies furniture

past several decades Star Wars toys have been dubbed as boy’s toys. According to the article, “Asleep at the switch? ‘Force Awakens’ heroine missing from toy line”, written by Associated Press, the female protagonist, Rey, from the new Star Wars movie, “The Force Awakens”, is not being featured any toy stores selling Star War merchandise. With the new generations of kids evolving differently than from the last ones, toy stores need to rethink the way they classify toys into different gender categories

The toy industry is a booming retail market in the United States, 2016 alone made a whopping 20.36 billion dollars (“Annual U.S. Sales” n.p.). These toys range from action figures, arts and crafts, dolls, puzzles, and building sets. More often than not, toys are appealing to a child based on what he or she likes to do, but as a nation, a stereotype has been set in place regarding what toys a boy or girl should be playing with. People usually associated Barbie dolls and princesses with girls and superheroes

Most people think First Lego League (FLL) is just fun and games. I even used to think so. Now that I am actually a part of FLL, I realize that it is a lot harder than it sounds. We are having practice almost every day after school, which takes up tons of free time. The three most important parts of FLL are the project, teamwork, and the robot. Doubtless, the project is probably the hardest part of FLL. We have to make some sort of presentation about our problem, and we have to have a good reason
