Gender Roles

Today we are going to talk about gender roles, and we will compare how are they lived in England and in Colombia. 

We know that in Colombia, the media show men as workers, the breadwinner of the house, strong, unsensitive and sport guy. While women are the ones that stay at home, do house chores, are the ones in charge of the kids and the ones who maintains the house in order. It is important to clarify that there are exceptions but mainly this is how the gender role works in Colombia.

On the other hand, England has the same perception of gender roles. Their media show the men as breadwinner too and show the women as a housewife. That´s the reason why the British Government denied all the gender stereotypes in publicity. The men and the women have the same rights and the same abilities so, they must have the same opportunity.
