We learned about social cohesion, social integration, socialization. Social cohesion means the bonds that bring people together in a given society. Socialization exerts influence on society. That is, Without socialization, society would not exist. Also, we are socialized through interaction, groups, gender role.
Color pink is associated with girls. Why?
I think that the reason why color pink is associated with girls is because we have bias. People think that color pink is associated with girls. On the contrary to this, color blue is associated with boys. We regard color pink as sensitive and warm image. When we think pink, we feel that pink is soft and lovely. Actually it is prejudice. According to person, people feel differently. Therefore, color pink is bias that we socialize.
Can we think of other ways the society tells us how different things are expected from boys and girls?
At present, fixed gender role decreases. But still gender role remains.
People consider boys as strong, active. Boys play with car toy, robot toy.
Boy's toy is masculine. On the other hand, we consider girls as sensitive, passive. Also, we think that women are dependent, sentimental and emotional. So Girls play with dolls. Of course, boy can like dolls and girls can like car toy. But we think that it is strange. Because we have stereotype about boys and girls.

ReplyDeleteLike your opinion, gender role still remains. Unconsciously we demand feminineness to girls and manliness to boys. It is not bad completely, but it must be disappeared. Because it has possibility that arouse sexual discrimination.
