Good afternoon
guys and miss.
Today I’m going
to talk about a news that I read in a newspaper online, The guardian. The news is entitled “Barbie can be a computer
engineer ... but only with help of a man” and this news is about a criticism to
the Barbie’s book, “Barbie: I can
be a Computer Engineer children’s book”, which relate the story
of Barbie who want to be computer’s engineer. The critique to the book is about
the view of the woman that is illustrated in the toy.
The news
critique to the book because replica the sexist stereotype where the woman is
incompetent and dependent of the men; it is representing in the book when
Barbie talk with Skipper about her job, and say that she is only creating the
idea of the computer’s game, but she will need Steven and Brian’s help to turn
this into a real game.
I considerer
this news relevant and associated with my career because I consider that the
sexism in this society is a big problem because incite to the stultification of the woman like a valid person
inside the same society. I consider that
is very problematic that the toy Barbie incarnates all the prejudice,
stereotype and ancient view about the women, because is a toy that the majority
of the girls have it, and this permit that the girls reply the same conduct. Events
like this cause that the sexism carry on the society.
