Parents seek desirable husbands for their daughter and send her away to live with him and her in-laws’. Mothers start teaching their daughters at a young age how to cook, clean, and how their future husband should be taken care of. Once they are married they then take on the role of being a 24/7 housewife who does everything around the house while waiting on everyones hand and foot. The husbands then go finish college get a job and “bring home the money.” This a real life situation that is occurring everyday not only in India but also other parts of the world and my strongly believe that needs to change. I personally do not follow this “rule” because I want to have a great future with a career where I will be treated with respect by all including men.
Lisha Lin Dr. Jordan Stouck English 112 14 March 2012 Critique of Dove’s advertising “Evolution” The film “Evolution” by Dove, depicts how a makeup company reforms a ordinary girl, who looks far defined from supermodels, to become a perfect looking girl for their billboard advertisement via various changes both on the lady herself and post production (Unilever). The film criticizes the mass media have set the ideal body standard and ideal beauty of women as the stereotype which is unattained and prejudiced for year. The things people see from the media every day and the figures people has been admire all the time, are no longer reliable or true. The film has passed this message with a clever use of contrastive speed layout, and influential wording make the film highly effective to build Dove’s brand personality.

The children that compete in these beauty contests aged generally between 2 to 10 years old (sometimes even younger) usually have one only goal: get the money and get the tiara. Of course, these little beauties do not enter the contests at their own request, but their mothers are the ones to fill in the applications on time, pay the participation fee, create or buy the outfit, establish the type of performance for the talent section (usually some song about the greatest love in one’s life and/or a terrible heartbreak,) create and exercise the hairstyle and make-up, keep a strict rehearsal schedule, hire trainers if the mum herself cannot coach the whole thing, fill in the gas tank and travel hundreds of miles with their children just to spend a weekend on an emotional roller coaster that for most of the mother-daughter teams ends in heartbreak and
No matter how the parent or dance teacher says it, the idea of being skinny, fit, and lean is engrained into a dancer’s mind from day one. These ideas of being the skinniest and prettiest are already being put into small children’s brains through our society. We have flawless models plastered on every billboard, magazine cover, and television channel in the world. Even this pressure to be perfect can be detrimental to a child as one grows and the mind is implanted with these concepts. Is this pressure denser in the world of a dancer?

Gender stereotypes begin the second a baby’s gender is found out. As soon as we find out it’s a girl, we immediately begin decorating a pink nursery filled with soft décor and butterflies and flowers. We assume that our daughter will be very "girly" and fill her closet with frilly dresses and her toy box with tea sets and dolls. What this is essentially doing, even though many parents don’t realize it, is setting our child up to be the "perfect lady," and teaching her how to be the stereotypical woman. We are teaching her that girls are supposed to wear dresses, serve food, and take care of babies; the biggest and most common stereotype put on women.
Beauty pageants are a needless aspect in society simply because they put a big emphasis on money, set unrealistic beauty standards for easily influenced young girls, and they encourage judging on appearance, rather than on a person's character. Child beauty pageants are fun to watch. The cute little girls all dressed up in their tiny gowns, dancing, singing, and prancing around. The pageants consist of modeling sportswear, evening attire, dance and talent. For most parents and their little girls it is just good fun.
