Stereotypes And Higher Power

02Feb10

Since the early to mid 1900′s, society has come a long way. Perceptions of stereotypes have become more accepted than they have been previously. Ideas about race and gender roles have changed. Women are more accepted in the work force, and there is now less discrimination towards different races. But has this really changed or does society still not fully accept women and different races?

A recent cover of “Vanity Fair” features the actresses they feel will become the next most successful actresses throughout the year. This cover has stirred some controversy because all of the featured women happen to be clearly white. Not that these women are not talent actresses, but it again brings up the situation about why the featured women are only Caucasian? While this very well could just be chance, chances are that it is not. This situation, allows us to reflect on the subject of how society views different genders and races. It makes us wonder if views of society have really improved as much as we might believe.
