Business Finance Homework Help

Chapter 2 examines the influence of gender and culture on communication. As you complete this assignment, keep several things in mind:

• First, gender stereotypes involve both women and men, and can influence expectations around the types of job each sex should have, the types of activities each sex should enjoy, and/or the types of clothing each sex should wear.
• Second, a given advertisement might reflect one stereotype while countering another. For example, an image might depict a mother bringing her infant to the doctor (reflecting the stereotypical notion of women as caregivers) but the nurse at the doctor’s office might be a male (countering the stereotypical notion that nurses are always women).
• Third, culture informs our views on gender.
