Introduction to Sociology / Q&A (11/14) / Hyeon jik Kim

Q : What toys are marked for boys, and what for girls? what do we learn through playing with gendered toys?

A : Generally, boys give a robot toy or a powerful toy boy (as shown on the prezi).
On the other hand, girls receive toys that give a positive feeling to people like princess dolls and teddy bear.
Through this socialization of gift, boys and girls learn that men should be strong and strong, and women should be careful and cute.
The reason why society makes us learn these perception is that in the past men are strong enough to get food when they were collecting or hunting , and It was considered a virtue for a woman to do housework quietly without causing problems at home.
As this perception remains some extent to this day, the socialization of gifts makes us socialize what I mentioned earlier.
