week 11

This week in sociology we talked about the depictions are society has about girls and boys.This Week we looked the different toys that where advertised to the different sexes.Toy depictions of what both sexes look like ,like barbe, are created with an image that influences children to strive towards that image.The clothing, body figure and even thought process are influenced by the toys to make children want to make these changes. Look at Barbe,it is impossible to have that body figure even with a large amount of surgery which would be very risky.So the images toys produce influence kids to have there image rapped around the toys image.


When my sister was young her image stared to reflect on the toys she played with.When she was younger she loved polly pocket.She had bought clothing very similar to the ones the doll had.Beach hats, bags,they were almost twins.As she is getting older  the pocket fad disapered. But the influence lives on in todays media but not as bad as it was before.
