Subliminal Messages In the Workplace and Media

An account to address and minimize the subliminal gender degradation and stereotyping that occurs within the workplace, advertisements and basic conversation.

I challenge college students to become more aware of the words they use in everyday conversation.

I challenge them to fight to eliminate subliminal messages and thoughts of gender stereotyping and bias to the best of their abilities.

I challenge employers in the workplace to enforce gender equity during performance reviews - use same criticism and evaluation techniques - as well as an overall gender impartial environment.

One person stopping a friend or peer from gender stereotyping is one less person being treated unequally.

[Subliminal Messages In the Workplace and Media @SubliminalIn]

We must each individually take responsibility for the words we use as well as the people we surround ourselves with.

[Subliminal Messages In the Workplace and Media @SubliminalIn]

Do not think that you are an exception or are immune to the subliminal messages of gender stereotyping and degradation.

The messages will subconsciously have an affect on the way you think, believe or perceive things in the future.

Once women are able to come to the realization that they are just as equal and competent as men, changes will be made and the gender gap will slowly but surely close.

An environment such as the one provided at Lehigh University, enables constructive subliminal messages to be sent regarding gender stereotyping and equality.

Lehigh University is a great example of a university that promotes gender equity and provides an impartial environment.

Can be seen through their student clubs and organizations:
-Society of Women Engineers
-Women in Business
-TIDE (tackling inclusion, diversity and equality)

Essentially, the words and phrases you speak is a reflection of your culture.

Do we want our American culture to be defined as sexist and gender degrading?

Surround yourself with positivity and equality so you do not experience the power of subliminal messages.

[Subliminal Messages In the Workplace and Media @SubliminalIn]

At college, it‘s vital to surround yourself with people and an environment that not only PROMOTES gender equality but ENFORCES it.

Because while you may not notice, subliminal messages coming from the words people use and the words you see have an effect.

If men are given criticism in the workplace, why aren’t women?

Men are being given the tools to improve but women are being complimented for their “teamwork” and “supportive natures”.

There is no one way to get rid of these gender stereotypes and gender degradation, however we can work to spread information on what we know about these messages and to #ThinkBeforeWeSpeak

[Subliminal Messages In the Workplace and Media @SubliminalIn]

Advertisements and words have the ability to subconsciously affect a person’s confidence, abilities, mentality, decisions... what else?? #ThinkBeforeYouSpeak #TheEffectIsReal

[Subliminal Messages In the Workplace and Media @SubliminalIn]

Advertisements similar to this one is what we need more exposure of and serve as a reminder that we are all EQUAL

Remember to think before you speak because you never know how your words may affect someone else #subliminalmessages #theeffectisreal

The transition into college is a crucial period in developing a college student’s belief. Therefore, we must work to eliminate these gender stereotypes in conversation and media around us #Equality

Not only do these media images affect a woman’s mentality but they also cause her to physically try to change her appearance. We need to get rid of these subliminal messages within advertisements in order to close the gender and confidence gaps.

This sign furthers gender stereotypes and is a prime example of the subliminal messages we are able to find in our everyday lives. This sign with “Boy” in parenthesis suggests the figurines are meant specifically for boys and not meant for girls to play with.

[Subliminal Messages In the Workplace and Media @SubliminalIn]

As harmless as these advertisements may seem... the subliminal messages of what it means to be “perfect” or beautiful are being sent through these images. Studies have shown these advertisements have an unintentional negative effect on a woman’s self worth and confidence.
