Question2: About Sexual Stereotyping

  • Question2: About Sexual Stereotyping

Why are their more women in language oriented classes but far fewer in math or science? Why are their far more women secretaries but so few women doctors or engineers? Why are flight attendants all female ? What can be done to solve this problem?

  • Answer:
    In our society, many female serves as the secretaries, flight attendants or the department store attendants. The reason is due to sexual stereotyping.

    Gender stereotyping occurs in many areas, even in schools. Girl were expected to study literature,arts or music, not manages an engineering course, math or science. Also, many people consider that a woman are tender and careful. The major reason for it is stereotyping. However, the social expectations influences their views. Parents may influences their children, and teachers may influences their students.

    However, how can we solve this problem. In my opinion, we have to give up our prejudice! Men and women are equally to be treated.
