breaking stereotypes



 nowadays gender stereotypes is a global problem. for example, we always thinks women should stay at home and men are supposed to go out working. So, there are some ways to break gender stereotypes. First, we should expand the range of activities for each gender. for instance,boys and girls can play together such as games, sports and so on. second, we should ask all generalization. Specifically, parents should careful any words about gender, and do not say some complaining, "do not running like girl". Then, turn in to your own biases. boys and girls both need to be shown that there are alternatives to the classic stereotypes. Apparently, we should prevent gender stereotypes, because gender stereotypes always give us incorrect information.
