Media
Stereotypes that we see daily exposed to us by media sources are wrong. Such as everyday commercials between shows that we may watch. Such as the commercial about the doll house and the little girl playing and it said something similar to "where dreams can grow", this made me kind of sad because it was teaching younger generations that girls are supposed to play in doll houses, and when it said "where dreams can grow" this especially made me sad because I took it as little girls dreams of being a housewife, which is wrong. I loved playing with dolls and doll houses as a child, don't get me wrong but now that I realize the underlying message in it, when I do have children needless to say I will not be getting her a dollhouse.

I agree, I thought that add was really creepy. The way it depicted how happy she was and like how you said "where dreams can grow" was wrong. It was even the same thing with the truck commercial for boys. It was just so stereotypical that all boys loved trucks and mud.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that the ad was wrong and it was just adding on to all the gender stereotypes being made. But I don't think kids playing in a dollhouse is going to make them to want to become a stay at home wife/mother. I used to own a dollhouse as a child and loved it, but look at me now. I am in college, in order to make my dreams of getting a job come true.
