  10. Agaba Paul, 2014/p/05/005. Quiz no. 9. The first advertisement has a picture of a woman displaying some items which most of the items appears to be kitchen utensils and basically for domestic jobs. Having in mind that our society in this part of the world is dominated with binary genders, it portrays the stereotype that kitchen and domestic jobs are meant for women or female gender. The second advert shows the picture of a woman swimming in a cup of alcohol (beer) like a fish, it portrays that alcohol is not only meant for a particular gender, but it is a culture shock because it is not our culture as a conservative society for our women to drink alcohol to stupor. The third advert has the picture of mother, children and​ Indomie noodles, it is stereotyped​ that the product target audience is mainly children and the female folks.The 4th advert has a picture of a man and a woman, the man has a big tommy more like pregnant, while the woman looks trimmed, it’s a culture shock, in our binary society, women are to be pregnant and not men. The 5th advert has a woman looking very happy, with a product (milk) which portrays that milk is only good for women, the 6th advert shows a man cleaning up the house which is doing a domestic job, it’s stereotyped to be the job of a woman, it’s a culture shock because the audience will find it very difficult to understand what he is doing, then I don’t think it will add any societal value to other men out there, seeing a man cleaning up the house and a woman is seen in the picture folding her arms. The last advert shows a mother and her daughter in the kitchen, while she is cooking, the daughter is watching and learning how to cook from her mom, it is typical about mothers to teach their female children how to cook as it has been stereotyped also that women are more useful in the kitchen. It also portrays socio-cultural attributes.
