Children's Views On Occupations And Sex Stereotyping
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Children understand a lot more than adults tend to give them credit for, which speaks to the reason why they comprehend seemingly grand and complex issues without ever having anything explained. The presence of television, radio and newspapers allows children access to what happens in their world; while some of this information is too sophisticated for their somewhat simple minds, other issues – such as occupations and sex stereotypes – are quite intelligible even at their young age. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
