No obstante, las marcas en sus campañas publicitarias mantienen el género estereotipado en los roles que desempeñan hombres y mujeres, lo que puede ser considerado nocivo para la sociedad y por lo tanto poco ético. Tal discrepancia aparece incluso en la misma intervención generada por los especialistas en publicidad que definen y diseñan la comunicación de estas marcas. Por lo tanto, este estudio busca identificar los argumentos utilizados por los profesionales de la publicidad peruanos para justificar el uso de estereotipos de roles de género dentro del discurso publicitario desde una perspectiva ética. Se seleccionó un enfoque cualitativo como método de investigación para este estudio. Entrevistas en profundidad a 16 anunciantes profesionales de diferentes áreas encargados de producir este tipo de comunicación. El desconocimiento sobre la dimensión real de los nocivos estereotipos de género impidió un debate para dejar sin argumentos a quienes creen que el uso de estereotipos es ético. Los profesionales de la publicidad han perdido parte de la necesaria conexión con la ética y les cuesta enfrentarse a estos dilemas porque no identifican los daños que provocan los estereotipos de roles de género en la sociedad. / Tesis
