stereotyping

I evaluated toys at a Toys R Us website. Gender role stereotyping is present in this store. One example of gender role stereotyping occurred in the ?Building sets? sub category. I noticed that building sets for boys offered a much larger selection than the building sets for girls. The building sets for boys yielded 47 items to choose from, while the girls building sets offered on 11 items. (Toysrus.com, 2013) Another example of gender stereotyping was visible in the ?Building Sets? category. Most of the boys? building sets were had superheroes and action themes. The way this relates to gender stereotyping is that males are supposed to be strong and be achievement-oriented.

Macbeth

Female Characters in Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth William Shakespeare is generally considered an avant-garde writer with progressive ideas about gender. Because of the era in which he wrote, the women in his plays generally had to be wives, servants, or a woman of some type of ill repute. But an examination of the female characters of three of his major tragedies shows that though these women may have been secondary to the men in their lives, they were still complex, round characters and deserving of as much attention and analysis as their male counterparts.
