...The Store The store that I performed my research on was Big Lots. It has a boy and girl’s aisle as well as a baby aisle that has a very small section of semi-neutral toys. In the girls aisle I found dress-up (Disney princess, monster high and some tutu’s, as well as some generic dress up items), kitchen (pots, pans, aprons and cooking items), baby dolls, and Barbie dolls. All of the packaging for the girls’ toys had very little red, with some white, and yellow, as well as different shades of blue and green but nothing within the dark scale of these colors. Some had black but very little. The majority of the colors were found to be different shades of purple, and pink. All the colors seemed to be themed towards fun and bright. The girls’ toys could all be categorized as either dress-up, playing kitchen or playing with pretend make-up. There were baby dolls that came with bottles and “fresh” diapers for changing. All the toys seemed to be stereotypical for a girl to learn what to do when she grew-up i.e. cooking, cleaning and taking care of a baby/children. Upon examining the isle containing “boys’ toys”, I encountered super heroes, building toys, play guns from pistol to long barrel riffles, different kinds of vehicles from sports cars to construction working trucks, as well as transformers and motorcycles. Career themed toys could also be found ranging from muscle men and law enforcement to firefighters. All of the packaging for the boy’s toys had some white, yellow...

...distinction between the toys section for girls and the section for boys. Aside from the obvious pink and blue differences, there are also certain aspects that aren’t so apparent that differentiate the two genders. Companies use subliminal tactics in gender separation of toys, as well as blatant signs of what gender they expect will be using a certain toy. You can tell the difference between the toy sections in a quick glance. The color scheme of the girls is bright and pink, which give it a happy and positive atmosphere. The color scheme of the boys section is much darker and almost exclusively gray, navy, or black. Their toys also have more sounds in the packaging that are loud. This...

...It's A Girl This documentary caught my attention from the very beginning, when I heard of a woman in India killing eight of her baby girls just because she did not want a daughter, but a son. She would keep getting pregnant in hopes of having a boy. I was in disbelief to see the facial reaction she had as she told her story, without guilt or regret, just no emotion at all. She believes women have the power to give life and the power to take it away. I disagree with that statement because each and every person has a right to live life and existence no matter what gender they are. Sadly, many baby girls are either aborted before birth, killed right after birth, or abandoned. If they live past puberty they become victims of neglect and abuse. I believe this is so unjust, especially me being a mother to a healthy beautiful little girl. I could never neglect or abuse her just because she is a girl, nor would I ever allow anyone else to. But in India, it's very different, the men are in control of the woman, considered property, and forced to have a male child. If a woman did not produce boys or dowry then they would be considered useless and either abused or killed. I understand that men from India have power over their women in this way, but without women or girls how will more boys be produced? In India they believe boys bring strength, blessing, and wealth, while girls bring dowry and burden. They believe families with sons gain wealth and daughters, while families with daughters...

...have as much babies as they wanted because to him, “of all the things in the world, people are the most precious.”(Ho) Soon, the population kept rising and the government came to a conclusion that popution control is nesscesary because they fear that there won’t be enough food or resources to support the people. After Mao passed away the next leader, Deng Xioping established the One Child Policy in 1980 to limit the population growth in China. The policy strictly allow couples in China to have only one child with a few exceptions in some areas. If couples disobey the law and have a second child, they would have to pay heavy fines. They can also lose their jobs and create a bad name for their family. In the government’s view when the policy was being introduced, fewer births ment fewer mouths to feed which ment that there is a better chance at prosperity for the people. (Evans 102) According to Paul Wiseman from USA Today, the goal of the policy was to keep the Chinese population below 1.2 billion people through 2000. As it turned out, the policy has failed because the population today is 1.3 billion. It did however lower birthrates due to birth control, abortions, and early deaths of infants. Throughout the years, China began to have an imbalanced gender ratio. There is a significant amount of more males than females due to the one child policy. One of the main reasons why there are so many males over females is because males are more preferred than females. Boys are more preferred...

...At home she serves him a banana sandwich, and tells him to do his homework. Alex doesn’t want to do his homework, and therefore crawls under his parents’ bed to hide. Here he overhears a conversation between his parents. The short story does not tell the age of Alex. Instead it tells about Alex as a young boy being in the spot of going through a transition process. He observes things he used to like in his everyday life as now being baby stuff. “(…) and took down his toothbrush. It was green, a crocodile, yellow eyes. This too, he decided, was a child’s thing. “(p. 11, l. 168) “Maybe he was getting too old for banana sandwiches. He thought about saying that he didn't want to eat them anymore. But he liked them …” (p. 8, l. 49). Alex has a hard time letting go of these childish things. He likes them, but at the same time he knows, he is a little too old for them. However, after listening to the conversation between his parents, he decides to quit the childish toothbrush and ask his mother for a regular one. “He would ask his mother for a new toothbrush, one that was a toothbrush and nothing more.” (p. 11, l. 170). He goes from being a small child into a sensitive boy, maybe on his way to being a teenager. After a day of observing and sensing everything around him – especially regarding his mother, her femininity and her relationship to his father, Alex decides to grow up. The relationship between Alex’s mother and father does not seem well-functioning. Alex’s father is...

...Pink for girls; Blue for boys? Nowadays if we walk into a department store we can be sure that we will find pink and some blue clothes, toys and little other objects for children such as books, bikes, lunchboxes, board games, toy cookers, cash registers, even games consoles. If we look at these objects there is no wonder everybody knows that pink is specified for girls and blue for boys. But how did this become a common thought? Since when do we use colors to make a difference between genders? And why exactly did we choose pink and blue to fulfill this role? In the 1800s most infants were dressed in white and both boys and girls wore dresses or short skirts until the age of five or six. Although, there was a few small difference between boy and girl clothing. For example girls wore dresses which were buttoned up in the back while boys’ dresses were buttoned up in the front. So gender difference wasn’t highlighted just in a little scale. Why wasn’t this important in that age of time? One theory is that distinguishing boys from girls was less important than distinguishing kids from adults. Childhood was a time of innocence while adulthood typically meant working hard. By the 1850s other colors than white had started to appear in baby clothing, but gender-based distinctions were slow to emerge. For example a Times fashion report from 1880 says that boys and girls were dressed alike in shades of blue, pink, white or violet; another report from 1892 says young girls were wearing...

...about it. In the Monday class, some classmates motioned the discrimination between men and women in China. This is the fact that in the past days China has the serious discrimination of gender because the social background and ideology. I have to say that such discrimination still exists, not only in rural but also in big city. In the rural, some people always have the old ideology that boys can do more thing than the girls. Boys should study and work and girls only need to do the housework and get married. I'm very surprise when I talk such discrimination to my friend. Her father is from a small village where most people never go outside the village. After the family members knew my friend's mom gave birth to a daughter, they were very angry and no one likes my friend because she is a girl. The reason is that they believe that when one mom give birth to the first baby is a girl, she will not only give birth to the second baby is a girl, but also influence other members in this family--make other "moms" have a girl. Girls cannot support the family. Girls are weak in all aspects than boys. Such “son preference" let her father's family members...

...seems plays a big role in this story. But actually Nick is kind of the main character. Uncle Gorge have asked the doctor to come to the Indian camp, where an Indian woman is very sick, she’s going to have a baby. On their way to the Indian Camp, nick is lying in the arms of his father, at the end of the boat. He is very near to his father, and seems to search love of this dad like a little boy. In that case I have to say that Nick is probably about 8-10 years old in this story. At the Indian camp, Nick’s father is trying to explain him what is going on in the little shanty. Nick act’s like he does understand that the woman is going to have a baby, and that it’s normal that she screams. But he clearly wants his father to make the woman stop screaming because he feels sorry for her. While the whole operation nick is standing in the Shanty watching most of the time his father doing his work. I think Nick is kind of scared what is going to happened. The fact that he looked away shows that he doesn’t liked what was going on, he felt bad by seeing another person suffer, but at the same time I think he maybe was a little proud too that his father can save this woman out of pain. After the operation things changed, we now know that uncle Gorge is most likely the father of the baby, and that the husband of the woman killed himself. Before the Doctor could get Nick out of the Shanty, Nick has already seen that the man had cut his throat from the kitchen door. I really think that Nick doesn’t...

...getting married late, mostly in town because of their education, career, and establishment and so on. Though early marriages still takes place in rural areas in our country. Nowadays girls think that education is far more important than getting married early. In Bangladesh there are many facilities for the girls to study. Girls have the similar right as the boys. The education system of our country is improving day by day and offering a variety of new courses for the students. Most of the girls think that after marriage it would be very difficult for them to continue their studies along with the household responsibilities. Even in villages girls tend to study further rather than getting married. They want to build up their own career first and then married just the way a boy does. They want to prove their knowledge and skill to the world as they are enough educated to do so. Nowadays there are no discrimination among men and women at work so they feel safe and comfortable to work outside and get paid off for their hardships. They do not want to keep their step behind boys but walk in the same step as the boys. Women want to be independent. They want to earn for their own expenses and there are many girls who has to support their family financially. If they get married early then it would be very complicated for them to study further because of household responsibilities and children. Most of the families in Bangladesh want a girl to give birth to a child right...

...story is about a young boy and an old man, who is not the father of the boy. The boy was given to him as a baby, by a refugee woman. They have lived in the ruins, for 7 years, after a war and have survived by collecting things they could find or steal. One day soldiers find them and order some documents filled out. For this he needs the boy’s unknown birthdate. The boy selects a day, and becomes entitled to have a birthday and presents. The man makes a present, a cart, for the boy, but also gives him a day away from the war. The boy likes his cart, which he calls a tank. The day away from the war becomes a day to a place the boy never has been before. At the trip he sees some soldiers and a tank witch the man does not like. 2. Characterize the boy and the old man There is not mentioned much about the two characters, we do not know their age, nationality, names or birthdays. What we know is they live by themselves, poor, in the ruins after a war. “… the old man and the boy had lived in the ruins for seven years without documents …” (l. 10-11). They survive on things they steal or dig out of the cellars of the ruins. “But the old man and the boy had found all three for the digging in the catacombs of cellars beneath the shattered city, for the filching at night.” (l. 12-14). The boy is around 7 years old, no real parents, as he was given to the old man by a refugee mother. “He told them how, on the day the war ended, a refugee woman had left a baby in his arms and never...

...“Bros before Hos” Kimmel exposes many believes in which society tries to establish how boys have to behave during their childhood and youth to prove that they are masculine during their adult life’s in his “Bros Before Hos” article. He states that boys have been raised to abide by certain codes, for example, “Boys don’t cry” or “Taking it like a man” to be fully functional male adults. He also states that when men try to deter from the “code” they are automatically labeled as weak or turning their backs on their own kind. Although I agree with many of the points he makes, I will have to disagree when he implies that not much has changed in the aspect of men standing up for themselves or being themselves in fear of being out casted. I do agree 100% with his opinion when he states that the weak men need to speak up because that is the only way the male aggressors will stop being bullies and society would be a better place as a whole because as long as the silence remains unbroken nothing will ever change. Way before a boy is born they are already being molded to be men. As early as being in their mothers’ womb males are being taught to be masculine. Fathers are dreaming of their boys being athletes’ way before they are born. Baby showers don’t have hints of pink, instead, it is filled with blue and anything “male” related because pink represent femininity and weakness. Personally, I can’t comprehend why society choses blue to be the male dominant color. I would have gone...
