Stereotypes

Well,today,I'm going to talk about a topic that it's too near us.

In the movie 'Billy Elliot',we saw a typical stereotype:if a boy dances ballet,is gay and that's not the way. A boy can dance ballet better than a girl,each one is good in what they likes.

Also,Luis Pedro said us last Friday,the voley,at the beginning was too racist,until some years,the voley was considered a sport for men.

                                     

The main example we know is:the pink is for girls and blue for boys, girls' toys are dolls,buggies,plastic kitchen... and boys' toys are   playmobil,balls,videogames...

                                  

But when I chose this topic,I wanted it to talk about two words that have the same relation:fashion and society.

                                     

Nowdays,when we think about fashion,we think about: skinny jeans,miniskirts,

short dresses,very high heels,heavy makeup,t-shirts that are more tops than t-shirts,bikinis that cover the minimum...

But this has not always been the usual fashion. 

These are the clothes that the 60's women wore.Today,we can say that the clothes are horrible but it was like our actual skinny jeans or like our Pull and Bear's hoodies.

As you can see,fashion is something daily in our lives and it change every time.

We can see that in the 70's,the trendiest was tight t-shirts and bell's trousers and the boys use very colourful clothes. In the 80 and 90's,girls started to use shorts and short dresses but they were too extravagant,they used too much colours and their hairstyle were strange.

And nowdays,the fashion is the opposite of this decades: tight trousers,t-shirts,dresses,skirts,very high heels...

Now,we see photos of years that we hadn't lived in and we thought that are horrible,that the most beautiful clothes are the actual but those people were like us,they were followers of the fashion,they followed the style of the time like us. 

Also,I'm going to talk a bit about the society's opinion. The nowdays people's thought is that you must have a good physic,without a good physic you aren't nothing. This is a symbol of this society.

How many girls didn't cry in their bedrooms in the entire world because they don't follow the society's image,because some boys in their country said them ''ugly'',''fat'',''unusable'',''alone'',''rare'' and many adjectives more that can be like a sword in their interior and which change them forever.

Some girls change because of these opinions and change to better,others continue doing the usual because they like what they do and others change to worse and that's a shame.

                               

If we compare the 90's models and the actuals models,there's a big change.

The actuals models are beautiful but are so thin,I think that have a good body is good,but the word thin had been carried to extremes.

It's normal that someone gets sad because is not as thin as them because it's impossible.

                                  

Some days ago,this model revolutizioned the world.

When the people waited for an international model to see the new clothes of the brand,she appeared and everybody were confused because they had the normal stereotype of a thin model,small clothes...

I'm happy to see that these girls also can promote clothes,important announcements... not only the thin girls because everybody can do the same things,because not only for have some more kilos,you're underestimated.

In conclusion,it doesn't matter what size you use or what type of clothes you want to prefer wear,the important is that you've got your own personality and the fashion can come or can go,can change or can be follow,but the only who continue here,is you .

Questions:

1.- Can you tell me one example of a very known stereotype?

2.-Do you think that been so thin is beauty? Do you want to be as thin as this girls?
