gender norms

gender norms i think are very obvious in are society. You see the social media try to show kids what there supposed to be like when they get over. They exspecially try to single out the younger boys by teaching them they have to be strong and intimidating. You look in all are movies that we play today and all the guys are these strong good looking guys. Even in chick flicks you get guys like channing tatum who is big and strong. Exspecially wwe does nothing but makes boy feel like they need to be big and strong and they need to result their problems with violence

Television seems to be the worst way norms are tought. Broadcasting companies distribute what will sell, not what actually does good.

i agree that social media plays a large role in todays society. there is no doubtthat it also plays a large role in kids lives and greatly effects there gender values. while watching television this is very clear no matter what you watch.
