Lynn Peril writes a fascinating study of pink color and its historical connection to ideas and beliefs of femininity. Peril translates and defines Pink Think as collection of specific ideas, beliefs, and approaches of how and when is feminine behavior considered as proper. Throughout her book, Peril is pointing out various fundamental approaches and attitudes that are considered to be crucial for women achievements and accomplishments. Peril's Pink Think also advocates how greatest concern of femininity is related to women physical appearance (fashion and beauty) and their marriage (motherhood and housekeeper). Furthermore, Peril is demonstrating an evolution of femininity, and constant and intense impact of its norms and rules on women lives.
Where are the memories of our pasts held? In scrapbooks full of photographs, or perhaps written on the pages of a locked diary? Picture though, something as simple and ordinary as a closet full of clothes. Think about its contents, where they have been worn, what they have been through, the stories attached to each item. The nameless protagonist of Diane Schoemperlen’s short story Red Plaid Shirt does this as she recalls a snippet of her past life with each article of clothing she picks up. Red plaid shirt, blue sweatshirt, brown cashmere sweater, yellow evening gown, black leather jacket…each item has a tale of its very own, and when combined they reveal the full story of the main character’s life.
In Doc McStuffins, the main character, who was a female wore only pink and purple and used predominantly pink and purple things. This reinforces the stereotype that girls only seem to enjoy pink and purple. But one thing was the same, that each reinforced basic underlying stereotypes of what males and females should like. For example, in Doc McStuffins the boys were expected to like racecars, trucks and blue, whereas the girls liked pink and dolls. This supports the stereotype that girls enjoy wearing a pink frilly dress, as documented by Ruble in her examination of girls and their phenomenon with pink frilly dresses. Doc by using pink and purple items covered in glitter, reinforces the stereotype that girls only enjoy such items. In order to seem more realistic, like the outfits Emmy wears that are jeans and a blue shirt, Doc could try changing up her dress colors, if not wearing shorts depending on the weather in the show. This would imply and reinforce the ideal that girls do not only enjoy pink but can enjoy all colors, countering the
Have you ever thought about what it would be like not to be free? What would it be like not to be able to make choices? What would it be like not to be able to do what you want? It's scary to think about not being free, but even in the world today some people don't even have basic human freedoms. Lois Lowry shows us in her books The Giver and Gathering Blue what it would be like not to have freedom and how important it is that we have it.
The most prevalent examples that reader can find are the unordinary color schemes worn by the girls, as well as the lack of clothing they wear. The colors of the girls bathing suits are like a lamborghini imbedded in a line of toyota corollas parading through A&P, similar to the bright colors that the protesting youths of the time would. Gray would be the most important color in relation to the girls flamboyant colors, however, as it was of the fancy herring snacks. While Queenie was being reprimanded for her attire, Updike explains that the fancy herring snacks “flashed in her very blue eyes.” The fact that this came up as “she remember[ed] her place” would put more meaning into the gray color, because it would have been the food that her parents have been feeding, presumably throughout her life, or the ideals her parents have been instilled since
The Target store located at Dallas Highway in Marietta, Georgia, was chosen for the fieldwork assignment. This particular store was selected because of recent renovations to the toy area. The new arrangement of the toy department appears slightly different than traditional organizations of toys in the past. The location of the toys is in direct relation and physical flow from the baby equipment, supplies, and apparel. Toys transition from birth in the infant area initially in terms of age demographics, type of activity, and brand of toy to more obvious gender divisions beginning in the preschool toys. In the toy section for school age children, gender separation is clearly established. Gender divisions become more obvious in this age group according to colors, themes, and character depiction. The girl toys feature pink, purple, and pastel colors. The highlighted décor in the store’s displays and packaging for girls involves embellishments such as pictures of girls, flowers, glitter, and jewels. The boy section portrays color schemes that are primarily in blue, red, yellow, gray, and black. Packaging images are of male children. The sections including educational toys, games, sporting equipment, outdoor play, sound and music, building, puzzles, and arts appear to be more gender neutral although some gender specific items can be identified by color or themes such as princess/fairytale or Ninja Turtle. The configuration of the toys clearly states that color, themes, and character representation are irrelevant to infants and toddlers, while parent’s attitudes about color and gender may be important aspects of unintentional socialization in the maturation of children. Marketing strategies appeal to children, but adult’s perception of ...
It doesn’t take hours of research to find the typical symbolism behind the most basic colors, white, and red among them. Brides wear white to symbolize purity or virtue. People give white roses as a token of the purity of the heart or the purity of their feelings. Red is associated with passion or love. Men buy the woman he loves, or wants to woe for the evening, red roses to...
“And it’s a girl!” The doctor tells the parents in the hospital room. The first thing to run through a person’s mind after hearing those words is the color pink. It 's common knowledge to people in American society that if someone is having a baby girl, it is standard to get them pink clothes and toys, and for boys it is typical to get these things in blue. From this moment on, children are already told what is expected of them when it comes to their gender. This has been tradition in society for decades, but it may have some negative effects on the children that arise from it. How children are raised in society, either with traditional or modern gender roles, will influence how they act when they are older.
Color is sensed when white light bounces off an object and is reflected into the eye. Objects appear different colors depending on what colors were absorbed and which were reflected. Color is "seen" by the rods and cones in the eye. Cones detect color and rods detect black, white, and shades of gray. People who cannot see colors properly are colorblind. There are many different kinds of colors and they are classified in many different ways (The World Book Encyclopedia p 818, 819).
To give a brief history, pink ribbon’s were initially introduced by the Susan G. Komen foundation during their 1990 Race for the Cure to signify breast cancer awareness (pinkribbon.org). Soon after, the pink ribbon was adopted as the official international symbol for breast cancer research and awareness, and as of “2008, the initiative was extende...
As a child, our toys were not exactly as gender neutral as earlier times, but also were not as gender stereotypic as the toys in today’s time. The fact that everyone eventually comes into contact with buying toys whether you have kids or you have a friend or family member who have kids which makes this an important topic. Eventually, everyone has to buy a child a present. Would it bother you that all toys are either pink or blue and there is no in between? Or does sticking to what your child is already familiar with and knows the more ideal option when it comes to gender stereotyping with children’s toys? Authors James Delingpole and Eleanor Muffitt both do a good job at arguing both sides to this issue. Although both authors provide valid points throughout each article, about gender stereotyping with toys, James Delingpole clearly was more effective in persuading the audience because he used all three elements; ethos, logos, and pathos to support his idea.
Society has taught us that the clothing we select somewhat defines our normalcy. Children’s gender neutral clothing is very hard to find. Even when locating a pair of red overalls today, they usually have some type of male associated emblem on them like a football or a truck. As author, Jeanne Maglaty points out, “Pink and blue arrived, along with other pastels, as colors for babies in the mid-19th century, yet the two colors were not promoted as gender signifiers until just before World War I—and even then, it took time for popular culture to sort things out” (Smithsonian, 2011). As pointed out in her article, with the onset of ultrasounds and prenatal testing, the more individualized clothing, nursery items and accessories became. Today, we are not only inundated with gender specific clothing but the color scheme has also crossed over to Legos, notebooks, sporting equipment etc. It is a merchandisers dream and a consumer’s
For a long time pink has been associated with femininity, which gives us the underlying assumption that girls are sweet, gentle, and delicate because that is what pink has come to represent in our society. Yet, the colours used in the toys meant for boys are black and blue which are seen as tough and aggressive. Coincidently, sweet, gentle and delicate is how society sees girls and how they believe they should act when they become women. Furthermore, tough and aggressive is how we want the men to be in our society. Critical sociology looks to gender as a competition where one gender is
In real society woman were expected to be ignorant ,innocent ,and put off the impression of innocence. Many Females wore shades of blue and pink for a symbol of virginal purity. Men had high expectations of women.
Toys for girls and boys differ greatly. An obvious characteristic would be the colours. It was noted that “girl” toys tend to be in pastel shades such as pink and purple whereas “boy” toys tend to be coloured more intensely, especially blue and black (Chiu et al., 2006). In addition, gender-typed toys differs in their shape as well whereby “boy” toys is often in an angular shape, while “girl” toys tend to be rounded (Iijima et al., 2001). As such, it has become a trend whereby children were given toys that highlighted their genders. Rheingold and Cook (1975) observed that boys had more vehicles, spatial toys, action figurines and sport equipment, whereas girls received more dolls, doll
