Research - Explaining Gender

For my first article I read was The media shameless role in peddling gender stereotypes to children by Lori Day. the first sentence highlights the differences of how we see girls and boys. "pink vs. blue; passive vs. aggressive; sedentary vs. active; pretty vs. smart; girls vs. boys." 

The whole article reiterated that now in a time where media is everywhere and in almost every home whereas 100 years ago, even though the telephones and the radio had been invented they were not widely available and that now we are saturated by every type of screen, and how those screens act like a third parents and how we need to rebel against this third parent by not passively accepting corporate definitions of boyhood and girlhood.

 "Media shapes perception and perception becomes reality."

After reading that i went onto reading into the science behind the whole gender idea, and most articles and pages stressed the importance of nature vs nurture and that even though hormones do play a part it did come down to the nature vs nurture idea.
