In C.S. Lewis' book Mere Christianity, The Obstinate Toy Soldier is a chapter with good points. Lewis takes his reader step by step through this chapter. In paragraph one he talks about how humans are consumed with the here and now, so people do not really think about what would have happened if humans never fell. Paragraph two is about how natural life and spiritual life are not just separate, but opposing sides. Lewis says this because people are born one way and God wants them another way. If

In the 1995 film Toy Story, the toys must learn to accept new challenges and to let go of the “old” way of doing things. They learn that they must stick together, forgive one another, and trust each other even when it is the most difficult thing to do. We mainly see the interactions between the cowboy, Woody, and the space ranger, Buzz who must learn to overcome their differences. Throughout their journey we are able to see and learn from their experiences as they are engulfed in the daily challenges
Levinthal and Roger de la Fresnaye. David Levinthal’s “Untitled” (1972) is commentary on the mass killing of modern warfare in the 20th century, which killed many millions of men during Hitler’s invasion of Europe. Levinthal’s childhood imagery of tanks, soldiers, and homes visualize the mass killing of war as a “universal” concept in the depiction of the modern psyche. Roger de la Fresnaye’s “Artillery” (1911) is also a commentary on cubist imagery that projects a military
their gender is socialized. When the doctors tells you if you are carrying a boy or girl it all starts. For girls you smother them in pink! Pink clothes, pick room, pink everything. For boys they get blue thrown at them. Who is to say they would even like those colors. These colors are used to help the child be identified by others.

A war that had many different sides. A certain event that 7happened within it was the Holocaust.

taught they need to nurture, perform domestic duties: cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry. Boys are trained to be brave, have strength and muscles while also possessing the knowledge of math, science, and engineering and to fix things.

Traditional gender roles propose that the foundation in distinguishing the

aisle of pink and blue. The camera starts to pan down what is now clear, a toy aisle of a toy store. The camera pans the “girl” section of the store and it shows every stereotype that comes with girls; a doll at a makeup vanity, a dancer, a girl pushing a stroller, and a girl whose carriage will not move and she does not have the skill to fix it.

Arthur thought he saw his godfather perched on top of the clock, cloak billowing out behind him like wings. Arthur had the impression of fire spitting from his mouth, but then Kilgharrah’s trunk burst open and the mechanical doll flew out in a whirl of limbs.

Gender roles exist in all cultures, serving to define who we are and what we should become throughout our lives. This characteristic of different roles for different genders restricts the basic human right to self-fulfillment. Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House brings these issues into light, forcing the reader to question the restrictions and stereotypes that were forced upon men and women in their culture. While much progress has been made, these issues still plague our culture and have been very difficult
down the toy aisle at a local store. From Barbie to Tonka trucks, there is a clear difference in the way toys are created and marketed towards different genders. Why must girl toys be pink and frilly while boys get to play with weapons and build towers out of small plastic blocks?

This paper examines some of the research into and the reasoning behind the gender bias in children’s toys. Is it real
