Thread 2 of 22 1 Posts) in this Thread Unea Stereotypes seem to have become a part of life within society ever since our generation became the epitome of media and technology, Stereotypes have saw and hear in television sets nor radio sets. Uelike men, women on the other hand have "ideals" in their minds which made them less anxious and more confident. Gender roles in the society has been defined as to how we look, dress, speak, and talk to the opposite sex. For example, in the video, it has mentioned that during the 1950s, white American males are considered to be the toughest race because it is believed to be the most superior race of all time. Different foems of media affect the way we see gender identity by: how a person's personality affect other people by being approachable and accommodating, how they are being raised in households (an example of that would be houschold chores like washing the dishes and cooking food), what education they finish whether it is in doctorate and master's degree, community college, oe diploma, how jobs affect lifestyles in each indirvidual, and how a person's physical trait especially body shape would be by means acceptable to an individual's point of view. To minimize these kinds of stereotypes, there re many forms on how most people nowadays fight gender stereotypes. These include: being a role model to their family, friends, and loved ones, be open to those people they trust, and be confident in everything they do. Since stereotypes cause distances betweem partises, it isolated the means of being one within the society and the place they live in. An example of a stereotype that brings no harm to society is when Asians are good at math and an example of a sterootype that have become a threat to the society is when a highschool stadent being bulliod in school just by their physical appearance. The difference between these examples is that for Asians, it really does not maner whether they are good at math er?other subjects, this all depends on how a person prionitize their studies Bullying on the other hand has become a threat to teens especially highschool because it is the age where everyone wants to be foeling accepted to the group and be proud of it this inclades when a teenage boy wants to try-out for the football team yet failed the try-out bocause he is noc tall and fit-bodied to be on the tcam. Overall, media has become a repeesentation of gender identity and a symbol of preferred values that one must look up to. Media, on my standpoint, will always be defined as managerial for us individuals because it is up to the person whether they want to follow or not WORKS CITED der Ldentity &Roles; Feminine Traits& Stercotypes."

Explanation / Answer

Media and technology are responsible for propagating and enforcing stereotypes because of their wider reach and easier accessibility, especially at this era. Although these stereotypes may not be encouraged by a conscious effort, there is a tendency to project certain groups of individuals as possessing key traits that make them distinct from each other. These are usually broad generalisations that every member of a particular group is assumed to possess. Even though these may sometimes be completely harmless, stereotypes shape the way we perceive ourselves and others around us. In this way, they influence our self-image along with our social interactions.
