In my CST 207 class we are exploring gender roles and the way they effect our forms of communication. My professor show the class this Youtube video:
I was surprised by how much the media sticks with gender stereotypes. I had overlooked the fact that most of my favorite television shows growing up had stay at home moms, and the fathers all went off to work each morning. Without realizing it back then, it did have an effect on how I perceived roles of men and women to be. My images of fathers were that they went to work and many all the money to support their family. I believed that mothers stayed home and cared for their husbands and children. My ideas have since changed as I have gotten older and I no longer see set roles for men and women.
