Knowing New Zealand

  Hi, now we're gonna explore the gender stereotypes world. New Zealand Men are perceived as a pioneer type During the colonial period, men were perceived to be rural, strong, unemotional, democratic, good with animals and machines that shared similarities with the stereotypical American frontiersman and Australian bushman. Nowadays many New Zealand men have these qualities, even though most New Zealanders have lived in urban areas since the late nineteenth. New Zealand women are independent Often, New Zealand women are perceived as more independent than women from other parts of the world. One of the supports of this stereotype is that New Zealand was the first country in the world to allow women to vote and the only one to have all its most important positions of state filed by women simultaneously. 

  National Stereotypes In this post we will talk about Stereotypes in New Zealand.  But… ¿What are Stereotypes? A Stereotype is a belief set about characteristics, behaviors or living way of a country, city or people and these may be positive or negative.     New Zealand has different Stereotypes but today we will talk about 2 stereotypes. New Zealand is not a civilized country If we type in google “New Zealand” the most pictures are about mountains, farms and rural areas so we can think that New Zealand is not a civilized country but this stereotype is false. New Zealand is like any civilized country. It has big cities like Auckland and Wellington but also has farms in small towns with just hundreds of inhabitants. New Zealand is a small country and is isolated from the rest of the world, maybe it is the cause of this stereotype but it has all the comforts that the rest of the world has. There are more sheep than people . This is true, currently there are 6 sheep by person in New Zea
