I am currently in a group for Children’s media and the academic journal that I found was on the Sexualization of girls. This journal went over how sexualization is related to objectification because a lot of times men in society will see females as objects for them to rule over. “women and girls are both sexualized, via their tight clothing and makeup, and objectified, portrayed as existing for men 's pleasure and lacking in their own agency. There is not a parallel trend in which boys are often…

Esperanza worked hard to become a strong, independant woman. “I am going to tell you a story about a girl who didn’t want to belong” (Cisneros 109). Independant strive helped Esperanza overcome the monotony women faced when she lived on Mango Street. For Esperanza, society accepted of women finding their way out into the world and gaining their independence…

their careers. From the time they are born girls are influenced by media as well as the culture they are raised in. If most of the women in a girl’s life take on a nurturing role in both aspects of their life, it seems like the girl will associate any type of career that involves being nurturing or helping with women. I’m sure that there are some studies to prove this theory but I’m just going off of what I’ve learned. This view of women as helpers by men, girls, and even females causes…

“Three Girls,” Oates uses the two NYU girl poets and Marilyn Monroe to display issues of society’s view of women during the 1950’s. The reader will be introduced to two girl poets in Strand Used Books, searching for their desired book as they routinely do. Both girl poets will later find themselves witnessing Marilyn Monroe in disguise. The reader may be led to interpret that this could have been Marilyn Monroe’s truest self and not what she was popularized for in media. The three girls will…

construct, and communication. We see these stereotypes in “Day Star” by Rita Dove, “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid, and “Barbie Doll” by Marge Piercy. Day Star by Rita Dove is about a mother who felt trapped in her life as a stay at home mother, who just wants to daydream in the sun. “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid is about a mother trying to give her young daughter advise on how not to be a “slut” and how to keep a man. “Barbie Girl” by Marge Peircy was about a smart young lady who did not look how society…

trucks, action figures, and guns and girls are given girl toys such as Barbies, baby dolls, and kitchen sets. What parents don’t realize is that this is the start of teaching their children sexism. Like Rochat said, children are born with minimal awareness and children depend on their parents to teach them what is right and that’s all they know. Little do parents realize is that they are basically raising their children to be sexist because they give girls girl toys and boys boy toys. Parents…

“Well-behaved women seldom make history” are you agree or disagree? Throughout the recorded history the condition of women has been a constant fee. Whether it a social status, economic state, political position, or intellectual freedom. Women have always tipped-off to address this issues to find the solution and change the history. But there are women who risk their own lives and fought for the ideas that today most of us recognized as universal and whether we realize or not and one way or…

stronger sex and girls as the weaker sex? Why are certain everyday household activities deemed unmanly or manly? We are hurting our children by forcing societal gender roles upon them by telling/showing them what to wear, what toys to play with and even what emotions they can and cannot show. It was between 1900 and 1930 that children’s fashion started to change. Boys fashion took on a more grown up male appearance and things that were once neutral like flowers and pink became known as a girls…

which society considers beautiful. It is deductive by all types of marketing that beauty equals colored eye, skinny body, and flawless skin. Since a young age, girls try to acquire those qualities, in the absence of these, low self-stem and depression are regularly common. Most movies, TV shows and magazines portray that physically attractive girls and guys are known as beautiful, desirable and popular; on the other side those individuals who don’t meet society’s standards of “beauty” are teased…

Walt Disney World seems like an odd place to find an aspiring doctor. All of my fellow College Program interns were performers or business majors. When I told people what I was studying, they always had the same question: "What are you doing here?" My shadowing and prior experience with medicine during college convinced me that the most important skill physicians could have was the ability to relate to their patients with compassion and empathy. In pursuit of the ability to connect with people,…
