Media plays a big role in stereotyping. It throws massages into anywhere, like toys ads, movie, cosmetic commercials, you name it, Its interesting how these ads are made so they tract a specific person, For example man perfume ads will have women in it, because the massage is to attract women you need to wear this colon. People don't realize how media is shaping them. Women are portrayed as sex objects and even if they are trying to brake the stereotype its impassible, the damage is so deep that lots of people suffer from that. Take for instance male nurse. Even if you brake free from the stereotype, there are still majority of people who will not accept this and would view this man as not a real man, Do you think there are lots of women doctors being married to male nurses? Society has build in these stereotypes so deep that switching them will take hard work and elimination of those who oppose it. People are different, cultures are not the same, therefore these stereotypes will still remain even if the media trying to change it.

Men strive for big muscles

It’s interesting to find out the resemblance of muscular structure in toys and men. I never gave it a though as to why man want to have these unreasonably big muscles. Body builders spend so much time and effort to be able to pick up something very heavy for a second. Why? It almost looks unhealthy. Working out at the gym was supposed to be a healthy thing. Now it turned out to be a battle of who can be bigger. We go into extremes of enormous body structures. Why? It seems reasonable if society makes toys like that and show that muscles make heroes all of the sudden people get sucked into it. The idea is there but it’s up to people to differentiate what’s good and what’s not. Taking our body to extremes isn’t good. Everything should be done in moderation. Having limits and knowing when to stop needs to be promoted. Society should teach us on how to stop being obsessive, instead of giving ideas on what to become obsessive about. 

It seems as Barbie these days is a role model for young girls. I disagree with that. I think girls are allowed to dream and to some Barbie helps in that. No all of them like Barbie or even played with one, yet turned out just fine. I think it’s not the Barbie that defines you; it’s your family or peers that shape you up of whom to become. The either teach you to follow them or don’t become them. If you play with Barbie, it doesn't mean that all of us who do will see that kitchen representing women being able to cook. I'm pretty sure, there are girls who played with the doll and miss that massage. Not all of us see cooking as something we like or can do. Why is that? Perhaps our mothers weren't good in cooking so we are not as well. So where is the massage that society trying to induce into us? If your values and morals are not there, you will not see them in the Barbie. I believe society suggests certain things throughout the doll but it’s up to an individual to take that role or not.
