Media Portray Humans(Objects, Things)

This week we talked about how the media has shaped us from as young as a few months. People think all girls must like pink and all boys like blue so they make girls play or wear things associated with pink. For the picture below I just typed in "girls bedroom" and this popped up. All of the picture of little girls bedroom were all pink. There were only girly things and nothing that would make you think it wasn't a child's bedroom.

When I typed in "boys bedroom" this popped up. While the girls room looks more feminine, the boys room looks more masculine.

Media has shaped us to think that girls should be girly and guys more masculine. What does that even mean? Why is it so bad for humans to be imperfect? Women might've got the right to vote but that didn't help our self-esteem. Men are just as much victims as women are too. Men can't be weak and small. They have to be strong and charismatic. What would happen if our men were weak and small? The world will end? No! 

                                                                                                                                                                               

Little kids who watch their favorite Disney movies will not walk away without thinking that the guy saves the day, and not the girl. Why? Because that's just the way that it has to be.

Disney prince's are characterized so that only they will save the day and get the girl. They have to strong and brave. What's so bad about the girl saving herself?

People say that the children are our future. Do they think that we're going to change things in the future and live a better life? They're the ones raising us and teaching us the ways of life so I don't think that much will be different in the world if we do the same things over and over again.
