Gender_Specific_Roles_

Gender Specific Roles' Are Gender Specific Roles taught to Children Through Toys' Some people might argue that certain children play with such as Barbies or G.I. Joe men influence gender specific roles in kids. Toys are meant to nurture kids imaginations and allow them to keep busy and at the same time have fun. In my opinion I don't think toys influence these gender specific roles in children. Although I can see how some kids may see these toys as role models. I don't feel as though a toy could have that kind of psychological effect on children. For the most part toys are targeted for specific genders. For example, have you ever watched a commercial for a Barbie' Take notice next time that there are only little girls in the commercial smiling and playing with the Barbies. Now watch a commercial for G.I. Joe, Notice that there are only little boys in the commercial playing with the G.I. Joe's. The marketers are targeting specific genders. What are these children supposed to think. Not too often would a little girl bother her mother to get her a G.I.
