Stereotypes- Katha Pollitt

Stereotypes Almost from the birth kids argon differentiating, girls argon dressed in pink clothes and boys in blue. just now they are just kids who behave almost in the aforesaid(prenominal) way, and their beliefs are changing with growing up. The plainly difference between them is their anatomy. Through genes, masculine and feminine traits are physically different. The mostly common stereotype is that girls should function with a doll, take dance lessons and be a nurse, not a doctor because it is a male profession. Why stereotypes are most meaning(a) factors in our society to distinguish boys from girls?Following common stereotypes, toys are disposed(p) to the tykeren accord to their gender. Consequently, boys are supposed to play with a truck and girls with a doll. Toy companies design specific toys, ones for girls and otherwise for boys. Even aisles at markets are divided by gender. One is all in pink, with Barbies and kitchen sets. The abet one is a mixture of colors, mostly of blue and red with trucks and guns. I wonder how it would look conversely, dolls in blue clothes and pink trucks. fit in to Katha Pollitt article, society gives children deceptive view of the world.She states, to reject her is to say that what Barbie represents- being sexy, thin, stylish. This extension shows untruthful vision of the ideal women. A toy like Barbie negatively influences teen girls because this doll demonstrates an impossible body image. Fortunately kids are well(p) observers and they know it is not true. Barbie and other toys can result in prospective psychological for the children because of the negative gender roles. The major reason lies only in our beliefs which we pass through generations.People lie in the stereotypes because is easier to be like each(prenominal) other. Sometimes being different and standing out from the crowd may have bad effects. I commemorate it is fine and acceptable for a boy to play with a doll, and for a girl with truck. I specify that boys playing with dolls can only help them show their emotions and feelings. Since we have the same rights, why is it seen in some way as eccentricity? There is only one major reason why people are so antisocial and sticking with the stereotypes.It is the traditional view of women as irrational, oversensitive person which destiny is to be a wife and mother. Roots of the current incline and status of sexual differentiation lie in childhood and adolescence. During the plow of socialization children learn how everything is functioning in the society. Also it comes to the shaping constitution traits, needs and values of the system, as well as roles and patterns of behavior expect by the society. Both genders need some knowledge of others traditional role in the family life.Boys like girls should do housework and other stereotyped activities. There are two separate theories to distinguish boys from girls. stereotype toys and traditional view of role division, divide our society and leads us to think stereotypically. Therefore, I agree with Katha Pollitt, we should not limit boys and girl by toys according to genders. I dont think it is not wrong for child to play with every toy or participating in any sports or activity as long as they are having skillful time and spending their time, and play appropriately.
