Gender Roles and Stereotypes 💑

Monday, 24^th of September, 2018

The society has grown of a positive way both in the political, cultural and economic, an example of this is the globalization. But in the social aspect the humanity is failing due to differentiation between people that the society are creates, for example the creation of gender roles to separate men and women with their respective stereotypes to play a role in the society.

When we talk about gender roles, we refer to how a person should act and feel depending on whether they are women or men; and their stereotypes are ideas preconceived for the two roles that define what role should take into the community. This "topics" have been discussed with the organization that define the human rights and exist various awareness campaigns exposing that the humanity is one, without prejudices or discrimination. For this reason we can tell that the gender roles have impact of humanity, that is to say exist serious consequences that affect the equality in the world.

Some examples of consequences were more remarkable in the past than in the present, in the home: dad was a base of family because he was the only one who could work, on the contrary the mom stayed in the house, caring the kids and she was always cooked but she never has an opportunity for went to work or studied. Nevertheless the roles have changed, and now men and women work and care the kids or cook.

Although this stereotype has been in the past, in nowadays, yet exist this discrimination for the women, even jokes are made about this topic. A specific place where we find gender roles is on the books, here we discover clichés or stereotypes proposed in the typical love novels such as: the main character, a man must be very strong, handsome, chivalrous and always, always have a mission, he must conquer the shy, innocent girl, and she must wait to the blue prince, also this usually happens in the fairy tales but exist there are few stories that show the girl as a strong woman that does not need a man to be happy and get your dreams.

For finishing this blog, I want to invite the people to make aware of this topic, make people understand that we are not in the past, the things have changed, now everything is more equality for this reason the stereotypes and gender roles should disappear. And now the people should say the women and men are same.
