GENDER STEREOTYPES INCREASED IN ADVERTISING "Stereotyping is a short hand way to describe a person with collective rather then unique characteristics." The reason media stereotypes is that picture are a short cut to bring forth the required action. Messages that stereotype individuals by their concentration, frequencies and omissions become a part of our long-lasting memory.
The stereotyping we see in our society and in the media are a result of what is expected and what sells. Consequently the list of stereotypical images of a woman is count less. A stereotype is reinforced when the image seen in life or in the media and thus becomes less surprising. Women and men are thought of in a certain way than what ever and who ever stand out is through to be A-normal.
Now let's just explore the role of advertisement in perpetuating and developing of the gender-roles.
Function ranking- the tendency to depict men in exclusive rows and as more functional when collaborating with women.
Relative size- the tendency to depict men as taller and larger than women, except when women are clearly superior in social status.
Subordination- an over abundance of images of women lying on the floors and beds or on other objects of men's mocked assaults prove subordination.
The feminist touch- the tendency to show women cuddling, caring and safeguarding with their fingers.
Family- father depicted as physically distant from his children and a mother closely caring. The father is attached to the son more than the daughter and a mother is shown caring for both. Concern is expressed about the role portrayed by men and women in advertisements;mainly based on the belief that advertising influences the society and perpetuates appropriate sex roles by influencing the way people think they are made to belief of a single pattern.
By reflecting narrowly defined roles for both men and women, advertising is reinforcing that these roles are "proper"," best" or "natural". In other words, "improper" depiction of men and women is detrimental to society because it creates misconception which in a few cases might be or might not be true. Media stereotyping is unavoidable but can be decreased and made positive in its after effects.
