Like a girl (9/20/15)

            
 
  This is my second resources which is also from YouTube and this short video surround one theme what it means to do something "like a girl". In the beginning, people asked some girls to do some actions such as running like girl, throwing like a girl and fighting like girl, and their actions express weak and work-out. Then they asked some young girls to do same actions. On the contrary, their actions are total different.Indeed they express confidence and their actions is very powerful. In the end, they told us like a girl is not a bad thing and girls can be strong and powerful like a man. 
  In my opinion, this video is talking about gender stereotypes. In class the professor told us a stereotype is a widely held but oversimplified image or idea of particular type of person,place or thing. So in people impression girls always are weak and flabby, they like to cry anytime. but it is not true. In fact girls can be strong like men. Moreover, just like this video said, girls who are between 10-12 years old trying to figure themselves out, so some words such as you running or hitting like a girl will drop their confidence. So, we can be strong like men and it does not matter what they said, because we are girls.
