Abstract: Gender stereotyping has been rampant since the initiation of broadcast media in the late 50s and early 60s. However, as advertisements are a more persuasive form of communication, the perception and normalization of stereotypes and the degree of persuasion become more evident and probable. Television and social media advertisements differ in their portrayal. Hence, stereotypes and the level of influence through persuasion need to be studied separately. This research compares and analyses television and social media advertisements based on stereotypes. In addition, the audience’s perception and the level of persuasion are analyzed. Forthis purpose, the researcher has used content analysis and survey through questionnaire methods to identify the different socio-cultural factors that strengthened the process of stereotyping through media and to find out a probable solution to minimize, if not eliminate, this problem.
