In this post I want to talk about a new I found in BBC news which is addressed to an investigation from New York University, Princeton University and the University of Illinois.
On this research they discovered that after six years old the girls feel inferior to boys. They blame this happening on media, teachers and parents because they are setting up stereotypes. Furthermore, they verify the results doing different activities to children of different ages.
Then, the article explain two examples of this activities and the results are expected. The girls of five years old are considered themselves as boys, but, on the other hand the girls of six years old are considered themselves inferior to boys.
They concluded that children have this feelings and ideology because they are exposed to the cultural notion which is present since Adam and Eva exist. The investigators began the study because they were sawing less number of women in careers which need a innate talent for be brilliant.
So, they started to investigate and discovered this, the girls don't develop this talent because from they are young they feel lower. They suggested that teachers and parents have to make aware to students to work hard because this is the key for succeed. If it is carry out the different gender feelings developed by stereotypes will disappear.
Finally, I want to comment my opinion of this article. I really believe that here in Spain or also in Catalonia don't happen because women are in the same conditions as men. But it is true that many women feel protected when we have a men near, in this situation it proves the act which these universities investigated. I think women have to be more strong and realize we are better or we are just the same as men.
When I was reading the article I came up against some words that I didn't know the meaning. This are initially, empower, slightly and uphill.
