Nerf

aisles screamed femininity. They were filled with fashion dolls, gaudy purses, vacuum cleaners, kitchenette sets, pink feather boas, you name it. The aisles painted blue contained, action figures, swords, wrestling belts, hammers, construction hats, Nerf™ balls, basketballs, anything asserting toughness. The last aisle painted green and yellow was filled with toys targeted to learning, development and education such as leapfrog readers and interactive games. After these initial observations, I…

Today I visited Toys R Us in order to evaluate the marketing, messages, and impact that the toys have on children. It was very easy to tell when you were entering either the boys or girls section of the store. The boys section of the store used much darker colors such as red, black, and dark blue while the girls section used colors such as pink, purple, and light blue. The boys section was much louder than the girls section was. You could hear laser sounds, guns going off, and Star Wars music in…

Around May of 2010, my brother got a new Airsoft gun and was so excited that he finally had a chance to release his anger by shooting at boxes in the backyard. The target practice soon became routine and he got bored of aiming at targets that did not move. He started to joke around about shooting my sister and I with the gun but never went through with the threats. One day in June I was folding laundry and he told me to go to his room. After repeatedly saying no I reluctantly went to his room.…

states that loved baseball just as much as me. Since the tournament was five days long at the least, all the teams were required to stay in a cabin in the park with their teammates and coaches. My teammates and I had a blast playing whiffle ball and Nerf basketball during our times off the field. Another part of this trip that is unforgettable is that we had a buffet tent which we were allowed to visit whenever we wanted and they served every food a kid could…

football only pertains to boys, and dolls, cooking sets, & designing playsets belong to girls. So now when you look at the six pictures, you can see that each common toys represent a different sex. The common boy toys obviously are small cars, Legos, and Nerf guns, they all represent a boy’s masculinity. All of those common boy toys have the…

Peer Relationships There is a very strong sense of closeness and support within the teams at MaritzCX, which is demonstrated by the use of our formal recognition system (issuing CX Elite Buttons to each other) as well as through informal means (birthday cards, notes, funny emails). Beyond that, our AUTO group is responsible for organizing events and activities for the entire Maumee office to participate in that will include the entire staff of the office. These two methods combined convey a…

He just went back up to change some errors. Alright. It is currently 1:59 on the second day of writing this. Cool! He thinks that Batman is better than SuperMan (Is that spaced?) Anyway, he going to change the font. That’s great! One time he had a nerf war. One time, In a galaxy far, far away he ripped off a movie.…

American Family” looks like. It seems that these commercial creators frequently target the White rich people in their advertisements. Commercial makers seem to misunderstand that a Black family can use a grill too or that a Black family can play with Nerf Guns also. Even when I see a commercial involving a Black female or male, they are portrayed in a stereo-typical fashion. Commercials in the past have Black individuals using heavy slang or coming…

“What is this shit a Nerf gun? Oh wait it is a toy gun just watch.” He swings his knee forward hitting the rifle from the middle sending metallic green fragments around the room. “Hey that was a custom rifle from The Alliance!” I spouted gripping my side, slowly regaining balance…

Gender Roles Effecting Americas Youth From the moment of birth one’s sex is how people identity who the baby is as a person. ““Women are not born, they are made” same is true for men” (Eckert, 735) throughout our lives our thoughts and actions are the outcomes of creating ourselves into what society believes how our sex should be acting.
