STEREOTYPES

DEFINITION AND STEREOTYPES I HAVE SEEN

• Definition: to believe unfairly that all people with certain charachteristics are the same
• I have seen:
• In happy meals, the toys are separated into boy and girl toys
• In tv shows, in the brady bunch, the maid does chores the wife cooks and the dad works
• In class, girls arent strong enough to do something

STEREOTYPES IN THE MEDIA

• This a ad from the 50s
• It is stereotyping women because they thought women were too weak to open a ketchup jar
• So the company made the cap easier to open so now, "women can open it"
• Supposably women needed a man to open ketchup bottles!
