    STEREOTYPING
    AND GENDER
    DISCRIMINATION
    IN MODERN DAY MEDIA

    Subject : RIZAL Submit by : GROUP 5


    AS A GROUP, WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL VIEWS
    REGARDING THE GENDER STEREOTYPE THAT WAS
    CONVEYED THROUGH YOUR CHOSEN MATERIAL?

    Cleaning advertisements and job hiring advertisements have always been


    promoting gender stereotypes and discrimination where only women are
    always featured in cleaning ads, while men are the only ones who appear
    in hiring ads, just as our material presented. These stereotypes can limit
    people’s perception of what role suits them or should be
    expected from them as per gender. This causes individuals to
    underestimate their own abilities and hinders people from
    attaining their full potential because society says so. It has been
    existing from previous generations and it affects the perception
    of children towards equality in designating household roles.
    HOW DOES THIS GENDER STEREOTYPE AFFECT
    PEOPLE’S PERCEPTIONS OF GENDER?
    Gender stereotypes make everything predetermined and limit individuals
    from doing what they really want to do.
    It stops people from being different, in the way they portray themselves and
    how they interpret things.
    This gender stereotype limits us from being what we want, it creates the idea
    that it is what we should follow since it is part of our tradition which in fact, is
    not.
    These gender stereotypes affect how people set expectations for a
    specific gender, especially regarding their roles, characteristics, and
    personalities.
    This can be the root of different issues and result in inequality between the
    opportunities that are available for both women and men.
    WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO AVOID OR STOP
    GENDER DISCRIMINATION OR STEREOTYPING?
    Focus on educating people to erase old-fashioned ideas about men and women. It is important to
    raise awareness and education about it and explain the challenges that different genders face
    that arise from such. By doing so we can break these old gender norms and can work towards
    promoting gender equality.
    Letting anyone do a specific task/work without considering one's gender can stop gender
    stereotypes. The practice must start within individual's home.
    The media also plays an important role in affecting the perception of gender of people so those
    who have control over it should help in spreading awareness towards it and eliminating it in
    different materials like advertisements, posters, and movies.
    There could also be certain laws or policies that could exist at national levels that ensure that the
    rights of men and women are protected so that discrimination towards them would not be
    tolerated, especially if it is gender-related.
    Some stereotypes are internalized in people during their childhood so parents should pay
    attention to how they let their perceptions affect their children and not limit their roles and
    personalities just because of their gender.
