Media Contribute to Children’s Formation of Stereotypical Images of their Gender Introduction The technological developments in modern society have enabled people to access large volumes of information (Lawrie et al., 2006). Individuals can interact through social media channels and watch numerous films and videos. Television commercials and shows also have a significant impact on children’s lives. Media encourages consumerism and affects how individuals interact with each other and put children at risk of becoming victims of their own gender stereotyping (Golden & Jacoby, 2018). Children are not wise enough to differentiate reality and fantasy in movies or commercials. Spending long durations on media platforms equip youngsters with a large amount of data, including gender roles and stereotypes. Children admire the characters in films, advertisements, and social media, and tend to imitate them or their lifestyles (Clark & Tiggemann, 2006). This work describes how media contributes to children’s formation of stereotypical images of their gender. Media and Gender Stereotypes Gender stereotyping in media involves identifying and replicating traits, and qualities of a specific group. Stereotypes make judgments based on the factors…

  Race and gender as cultural constructions Referring to race and gender as social constructions have a deep meaning. This is because it requires a deeper understanding that is beyond the assumption that race and gender are just the effects of a biological process. However, before discussing race and gender as social constructions, it is important to begin by defining several key terms. That will enhance understanding in this discussion. The term culture refers to the knowledge and characteristics that are used to identify a certain group of people (Nastasi, 2017). This takes into account aspects of religion, social habits, cuisine, language, arts, and music. The term is further used to refer to shared patterns of interactions and behavior, cognitive constructs, and insights that are gained through socialization. Therefore, culture may be used to define group identity that is based on social patterns that are unique to the group. Culture is hence a broad term that encompasses language, music, arts, religion, dressing code, morality, and other aspects that describe a way that makes a given social group different from others.…

The Link between Gender and Jealousy Abstract Mindfulness is a common trait occurring in both genders. Numerous studies have been conducted on the influence that gender has on mindfulness among individuals. Most of the studies propose that either gender has higher levels of mindfulness than the other, while others suggest a similar degree of mindfulness in both. The minimal consensus and inconclusive results regarding the subject, therefore, necessitated an additional study on mindfulness among genders. The study involved 77 participants whose levels of mindfulness were gauged through the use of 15 hypothetical scenario questions using a self –Report Mindfulness Attention Awareness scale. Male participants scored a higher average mindfulness score in comparison to their female counterparts. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two scores leading to the conclusion that gender was not a significant variable in determining mindfulness among individuals. Keywords: gender, male, female, mindfulness The Link between Gender and Mindfulness Mindfulness refers to one’s capability to be present in the moment without succumbing to distractions about past or future events. It refers to being in the…

 relationship between sex and gender This week’s reading focused on the relationship between sex and gender. We learned that sex and gender are connected such that one’s sex defined their gender. In most societies, those who have women characteristics are referred to as female while those with man features are known to belong to the male category. During the discussion, we defined sex as the biological variations between males and females. It was also noted that these difference mostly occurs in the sexual reproductive organs. Apart from genitalia variations, there are also genetic differences that determine sex.  In a broad view, the lectures also addressed unique cases of transsexuals and bisexuals. Further, gender was analyzed to be a more complex subject. Galliano (2003) note that the attachment of roles and responsibilities to gender provides another different perspective. In most societies today, gender is defined by the tasks and duties assigned to an individual. For example, those who perform domestic roles and easy chores are women. On the other hand, men are noted to be the breadwinners with the sole responsibility…

Gender and women empowerment Gender and women empowerment are still the primary debatable issues in Indian society. Even though Men and women are equally paramount in the development of their families and communities, India’s prevalence of women inequality remains a significant concern for women’s movements in the country. Priority in education, property rights, and wealth creation is accorded to male children. Their female counterparts are often relegated to the confinement of their homes with little to no access to education or any form of opportunity for economic development. Over the years, the Government of India (GoI) has implemented numerous progressive measures to advance women’s equality and empower them in many societal levels. GoI established the Ministry of Women and Child Development and National Commission for Women, which operate on the national and state level to promote women equality and empowerment. These women groups have been able to make significant advances in seeking women justice through the creation of legislative changes that allow women to take positions in political leadership. Also, the group has been instrumental in seeking justice for women’s…

Sex and Gender Construction. The sophistication in social media and medical technology has influenced society in the way it portrays men and women. Today most communities heavily rely on media; they have been consumed by what they see on media, which has led to a changed perception towards intersex. Doctors are focusing on words instead of knives leading to the problem. The implications of a child’s future are considered rather than focusing on the physical aspect. Suzanne Kessler says that intersex is a common genetically occurrence and people should welcome and accept, without assuming it. Judith lobar states that today society views sex as a system of the plain binary of boys and girls. Intersex is unfairly treated on social media on how it portrays them.  Lobber states clearly that gender construction is a result of socialization.  For instance, people have formed perception with pink color being a representation of a girl and blue for a boy, and the same understanding has been grown where most people consider a boy or a girl during any birth.  Michael Omi and Howard…

Gender Inequality, Social Class and Social Mobility Chapter one: Introduction Introduction Intergenerational persistence in economic results impacts the perpetuation and aggravation of the resource gap between the wealthy and poor. Research on social mobility in previous years has mainly concentrated on men. However, there is less or no research on the patterns of social mobility of women. The level of intergenerational mobility in society is perceived as a measure of the degree of equality of economic opportunity. It captures the degree whereby individual situations during childhood are replicated in their success in older years, the extent at which persons can make it version of their own talents and luck. The significance of the notion of social mobility has risen, being viewed as a parameter for measuring the equality of opportunity in a sphere where results are uneven. Social mobility is closely linked to the associated concepts, including inequality, inclusion, and social exclusion, where mobility is the movement between distinct and uneven social groups or classes and between inclusion and exclusion. As Miller (2005) contends, the likelihood of social mobility is…

The Effect of Gender on Stereotyping Abstract Gender has been demonstrated to have a significant effect on the stereotyping process. Most of the studies that provide such findings are conducted at the university level and from different parts of the world. As such, it would be relatively difficult for such institutions to develop a psychology teaching curriculum that would minimize the effect of stereotypes among students to improve their mental processes. In light of this, the researcher proposes to conduct a study in a specific institution, which will evaluate the effect of gender on students’ stereotyping processes. A sample of 200 students (100 male and 100 female) will be selected randomly to take part in the study. The questionnaire attached to the appendix will be utilized to collect the data, whereas the t-test will be used for data analysis. Keywords: stereotyping, gender, mental processes, discriminations   The Effect of Gender on Stereotyping Skrypnek and Snyder (1982), Banchefsky and Park (2018), and Cadinu, Latrofa, and Carnaghi (2013) have demonstrated that gender has a significant effect on the stereotyping process.
