Media

This week in class we talked about genders and how media influences society. Media influences girls and boys differently and structures their role in society. For example  boys are expected to be tough, and they are not supposed to cry. And girls are taught from a young age that they should be sexy. People behind advertisements are very educated, and they know how to afefect the way you think. Advertisements that you watch have an impact your life and you don't even realize it. Today, boys are going to jail, killing other people, abusing womem. And girls see themselves as ugly and fat, so they get an eating diorder, or commit sucide.
