....and as far as how society shape gender norms..well it starts from the beginning. Boys are put in blue the second they are born, girls are put in pink. Those colors will always be associated with boy/girl. When a little boy falls and cries, he is told to be a man and be strong, and that boys don't cry; or basically have emotions for that matter. Girls are told that they are little princesses and that it's okay to cry and be emotional. In school you are taught at a very young age what boys are supposed to do and what girls are supposed to do. I am too stoned to think of really specific details here...

Pop. culture and beauty PLEASE HELP ITS FOR A PAPER ok so I'm writing a paper on popular culture and beauty ideals and I need to give examples of how pop culture shapes and maintains beauty ideals and gender norms. The only problem is that I dont listen to popular music or watch alot of popular shows so I really need help. I need specific examples from movies, tv, or music. gender norms are pretty much stereotypes (ie men should be strong, support family, should have sex with many people and women should be attractive, stay at home, arent smart, Rating: 5
