Quels stéréotypes sont fréquemment utilisés dans les publicités ?
- One example of stereotypes used by adverts is the encouragement of boys to play with guns and cars, and for girls to play with cooking and pink clothes.

- They also use stereotypes of beauty
- Use the idea that the people who use their products are happy, healthy and rich
