MEN=BLUE WOMEN=PINK

Before we go into school or have friends sometimes our only teacher is media weather it is on television or on the radio every time we listen to these sources we grab a bit of what we want our personality to be.

Ever since we have been part of the media we have in one way or another acted the way that the media portrays the person that we want to be. As children when we watch television we are automatically assigned the colors that we should love girls have to use, have, breath pink and on the other hand boys have to hate anything with flowers or with pink, they have to play with trucks that are blue and must wear blue.

As we grow older media also helps with our thinking a certain way or acting a certain way, even as gown people we still might act the way our favorite character acts on Glee. We like that character we want to be like them we also do it to see if the people around us act the way people do on television and have the happy ending that the protagonist has, which most of the time doesn't happen. In one way media does this is by always showing the stereotype of girls and boys, girls will always be the one that cries or is in any kind of distress and either it's because of a boy or a boy is the solution, and in comes the masculine non sensitive knight in shining armor  ready to help his damsal in distress. This is the scene that is always seen in movies kids shows you name it and as people see this they choose the role that they have to play.

In the video above my emotions are very strong and i show what i really feel which many times on television many men don't do, they just stay quiet and wait for another damsal to came along.
In the end we are all our on character and its better to act the way we want as long as we are happy with it who cares with it is not what media says we have to do as long as ME= WHO I REALLY WANT TO BE
