Gender Roles

Gender roles are a popular topic that has been around throughout the world for ages. Gender roles are taught to us as young children. young boys are given cars and trucks to play with and young girls are given dolls. This tell children what they should do without giving then the choice. Both men and women are subject to not having the same privileges due to their gender and how society defines their gender.  Society says men must be tough and not show emotions while females on the other hand are over emotional and must remain " ladylike".

Even though everyone knows what gender roles are I felt like the world need to be reminded that they don't have to be followed and they shouldn't exist. To spread awareness I created a cartoon with a storyline for children, since learning gender roles starts at a young age. My goal is for children to see my video and know that they can be and do what they want no mater what society thinks or says. Also, I want parents to see my video and their their children about gender roles and be open to letting children express themselves in their own ways.
