-professor
-librarian

Now, reflect upon what you found for each search term:
What patterns did you notice?
What assumptions underlie, or are promoted by, these images?
How do you think Google Images finds the pictures?
Tip: Describe how the image results for each term are similar or different. For instance, are the results for "professor" similar to those for "librarian" or are they different? What is similar or different about them? Why do you think that is? What kind of results do you get for "baby"? ( Look at things like age, gender, ethnicity, etc.)
