Conclusion:

From our research we have concluded that cartoons are highly stereotypical and are promoting gender stereotypes. In today’s modern and advance society gender inequality is still a dilemma. Gender differences and gender stereotypes are far away from reality but still in 21st century, we consider them true because they have become permanent part of our society due to their excessive use. Social institutions including both electronic and print media is a great source of perpetuating the stereotypes. In other words we can say that they have become a social reality. We have seen in the cartoons, as well as in our daily life, that people are attracted by money. Girls usually try to marry a richer boy, and vice versa, so as they don’t face any financial difficulties in their future life. Cartoons are not exempted from this entire scenario but they do portray the same language and gender differences. Cartoons could also be used for the betterment of the society as it is a very soft medium to convey thoughts and expressions. Our analysis has also made it clear that most of the population consider males as dominant. Males are still projected as strong, powerful and wise. This is also very clear from our analysis of selected cartoons. Males are still accorded higher status in spite of the fact that women are equally wise and strong as men.
