CONFORMITY




Here's is a funny example of conformity. Although the chicken are protesting against conformity, they ironically conform to one another. This shows how conformity is sometimes inevitable.


GENDER STEREOTYPES

This is bunch of examples of gender stereotyping of women in numerous commercials. Most of the commercials show women either cooking or cleaning as housewives. The role of the women seem very limited to such work. Even for little girls, they pave their way for a life as housewives (including the Rose Petal Cottage!) Also, they included a clip of an experiment in which several children were asked which doll (either a female or male) cleans the house, cooks, or goes to work. Their answers probably wouldn't surprise you...gender stereotypes have affected all of us!

PERSONAL SPACE

This is a video project some people did invading personal space. They have the guts to go and burst personal bubbles of strangers in random places in order to get their reactions. Most people don't say anything but just move away at first, unless they do something totally out of line (like sit on them!).
