Gender Stereotypes In Lee Ross 'Game Changer'

Although the individual may or may not accept these identities which are presented to them. These portrayals of gender norms within video games can affect the players attitude towards women and their expectations about the behaviour of women. This may have substantial consequences in relation to women obtaining gender equality with men in the future, as men will learn to believe that the acceptable roles of women include being weak, dependent of males, and subordinate. According to Bialeschki (1990), “By conforming to gender role expectations, young girls restrict their own potential because so many important skills and activities have been designated as ‘inappropriate’ for them” (Bialeschki, 1990:54).

In Carmen Tieu’s “Why Violent Video Games Are Good for Girls” she argues that playing violent, first person-shooter (FPS) games, typically played only by boys, can be beneficial for girls.

They can give girls a unique way of bonding with males, feeling like any other player instead of singling them out as a “girl.” Tieu also claims that playing FPS games gives girls the inside scoop on how guys act and what they think and talk about.

The video gaming creates so many problems in our society. Johnson’s points, “The worst that can be said is that they sanction, and even promote aggression and violent responses to conflict. But what can be said with much greater certainty is this: most computer games are a colossal waste of time” (17). Johnson’s describes that the video gaming and the technology create aggression and violent behaviors in the users, and most games are just a waste of time.

Over the years there has been a big controversy over whether video games are relatively good or extremely bad for children. Video games are super beneficial to a kid’s learning process and have been proven to increase social skills, productivity, and stress.

They were entirely dependent on their male counterparts for all their tasks outside the domestic sphere. They were generally considered unintellectual and uneducated.

He uses his novel, The Scarlet Letter, to portray his idea of changing gender roles. The female protagonist of the novel, Hester Prynne, possesses many traits and engages in many activities that would conflict with the gender stereotypes

They were asked to do specific actions contributing to common stereotypes. The director asks both the young girls and the women to exemplify the actions, “throw like a girl, “run like a girl” and “fight like a girl” (Like a Girl). When the young age group was asked these questions they immediately put forth a great effort. On the other hand, the older age group portrayed each of those actions with a weak effort; confirming the stereotypical idea that women are considered weak. Unfortunately, girls even at a young age, are starting to realize that, “like a girl” sounds like an insult.
