common practice throughout our society. Boys are taught to play with trucks‚ trains‚ male action figures‚ swords and guns. These items aid in defining masculinity. Girls‚ on the other hand‚ are taught to play with dolls‚ toy stoves or easy bake ovens‚ and other toys to aide them in identifying with nurturing. These factors lead to identifying gender roles by our society. Anything that deviates from this is considered somewhat abnormal. For instance‚ if a small male child wants to play with dolls

Joe‚ Tonka trucks‚ and matchbox cars to baby dolls‚ easy bake ovens‚ and Barbie dolls for girls. To me the boys always seemed to have the cool toys like cars‚ blocks‚ and remote controlled cars. The girls on the other hand‚ had dolls and pretend baking/cooking items. There weren’t many educational games like there

In today’s society which is male dominated‚ certain things are almost always associated with men and their dominance. However‚ it can negatively reinforce certain principals in the patriarchal complex. For example‚ to give a little boy a Hot Wheels Playset is not necessarily a bad thing. This would increase a young boy’s interest in cars in general‚ which could in the future be beneficial. The child may aspire to be a mechanic or even a professional race car driver. Yet at that same token‚ the toy

There is a major lack of women in Science‚ Technology‚ Engineering‚ and Math (STEM) related fields‚ but more importantly there is a lack of a solution. “A 2009 poll by the American Society for Quality of Children 8-17‚ 24 percent of boys said they were interested in a career in engineering‚ but only 5 percent of girls said the same” (Qtd. in Dockterman).

without electricity there would be no video games to play or TVs to pass time away. Kids would have to go back and play outdoor games‚ which even in my childhood were enjoyable‚ like tag or hide-and-go seek. Girls instead of using their easy bake ovens will have to use their imagination and make old time mud pies. Also there would be no factories to make necessities we use today. Rather than buying clothes from a store‚ the women of the household would have to hand stitch articles of clothing.

When I first saw the link for a “5 minute microwave brownie” I honestly thought it was going to be a feature of a children’s easy bake oven‚ that has brownies provided and they’re able to heat them; but mistaken I was. With some experimenting and tweaks of my own here and there‚ I have come up with what I consider to be the greatest tasty treat since Heinz released their very own chocolate
