This week we watched a video about how toy companies market their products toward children. They take a television show or movie and make any sellable product possible and put their logo on it. We also watched a movie about how girls are portrayed to look a certain way because of them models being shown. This causes girls to feel depressed, and causes eating disorders. The movie also talked about boys vs girls and how girls and how each should fit the stereotype. We looked through a toy magazine and the girls were all in their rooms playing with dolls or with toy kitchens. The boy pages were boys who were all outside playing with toy machines and being masculine. It was obvious that the message they were conveying is that those are the ways it should be and that's the only acceptable thing.
