This is an interesting video on how children in Western culture view gender roles. Maybe we haven't come as far as we have thought, because many of the children in this video adhere to the same standards of gender that are still common in countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. The fact that children still associate certain genders with certain roles, forms of dress, and profession is interesting to me. I don't think gender roles are a particularly good thing and I think children should be free to express themselves in any way they wish to, so long is it doesn't harm someone else.
