Abstract

The concept of gender refers to the roles, learned behaviors and expectations determined by the society for women and men, apart from the biological differences between women and men. These expectations differ from society to society and even within different sections of the same society; based on such distinctions as rural/urban, class and ethnicity, etc., they may vary depending on the distinctions. It is important how these roles are offered in terms of shaping the children's views on gender roles at very young ages. The aim of this study is to analyze the cartoons within the frame of rural and urban life in terms of gender representations. In this study, 30 episodes of cartoons were analyzed by using the content analysis technique. The study strives to reveal how male and female characters are represented within the context of gender. The findings have shown that despite the existence of egalitarian representations in terms of gender, the contents emphasizing inequality are more dominant.
