  • Social Discrimination In Mean Girls

    751 Words  | 2 Pages

    Mean girls. Queen bees. Alpha females. Our culture is full of phrases that label or describe females who partake in behaviors that degrade and undermine other females. It is so prevalent in our society that filmmakers have used this underlying theme for decades. In 9 to 5, a woman draws the ire of fellow coworkers because they perceive her as dressing provocatively and they gossip and spread rumors she is sleeping with the boss. In Working Girl, a female executive encourages her assistant to contribute ideas by referring to them as a team, but then steals the idea of her assistant and tries to pass it off as her own. Mean Girls focuses on a clique of teenage girls who use meanness as sport to torment other females. Social aggression is a common act for females, and therefore it is easy to see why movies focus on the “mean girl” image (Behm-Morawitz & Mastro, 2008, p. 133). It is also easy to see why this depiction in media can be related to stereotypical ideas about female relationships, bias towards women, and the correlation of social aggression to social status (Behm-Morawitz & Mastro, 2008, p. 141), but is this an accurate reflection of reality?

  • Argumentative Essay: Secrets Within The Blacklist

    Arguing Secrets within The Blacklist play a huge role given the audience a sense of urgency. Although to some the show is to be just a form of entertainment, but there are others who believe that The Blacklist is a construction or the “Spectacle” ,as Guy Debord would phrase it, in which the ruling class uses spectacles to deceive the public of things that are really in effect in congress to maintain the status quo. The Blacklist shows a lot of gender stereotyping for example, Red is the main character, but has a female “side kick” which is broadcasted to be Red’s daughter Liz. When viewing shows like The Blacklist many viewers do not look at the social standards that are consumed on a day to day basis.

  • Fight Club and Feminism

    2133 Words  | 5 Pages

    The issue at the heart of the David Fincher film, Fight Club, is not that of man’s rebellion against a society of “men raised by women”. This is a film that outwardly exhibits itself as promoting the resurrection of the ‘ultra-male’, surreptitiously holding women accountable for the decay of manhood. However, the underlying truth of the film is not of resisting the force of destruction that is ‘woman’, or of resisting the corruption of manhood at her hand, but of penetrating the apathy needed to survive in an environment ruled by commercial desire, not need. In reality, Fight Club is a careful examination, through parody, of what it means to be a man; carefully examining the role of women in a society busy rushing towards sexual homogeneity. Proponents of lesbian feminist theory, and feminist theorists such as Hélène Cixous and Julia Kristeva, would dismiss Fight Club as mere validation of their conceptualized male, of the “phallocrat”, for its sympathetic portrayal of the whining, emasculated modern-male, and his ‘oppression’ at the hands of a society that values submission over independence (Kristeva 476).

  • Gender Roles and Their Effect on Women

    1529 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout the history of society, women and men both have faced the constricting roles forced upon them, from a young age; each gender is given specific social and cultural roles to play out throughout their lives. Little girls are given dolls and kitchen toys, little boys are given dinosaurs and power tool toys, if one was to step out of this specified role, social conflict would ensue. Contrast to popular belief, sex is a biological construct, and gender is a social construct specifying the roles men and women are to follow to be accepted into society as “normal”. The effects of gender roles have had on women have proved harmful over the decades. Although the woman’s involvement in society has improved throughout the decades, patriarchy in society and oppression toward women are still prevalent through the social ideologies widely taught and believed throughout America, which has limited women and stereotyped them consistently.

For example, little boys are expected to only play with “masculine” toys such as action figures, toy cars, etc. and little girls with “feminine” toys such as baby dolls, kitchen sets, etc. These toys play a significant role in our society in shaping the way children are thinking beginning from a young age.

  • Objectification Of Women

    1173 Words  | 3 Pages

    The superiority men assume over women paves an imbalance on social encounters and the way women are treated. The stereotypical roles men and women are meant to follow has allowed several unjust issues of sexual wrongdoings to remain changeless for years. The archetype that men must be strong, successful and powerful idols has brought the ideals of women to be the complete opposite delicate, dependent, and loving. Although the characteristics of the manhood and womanhood are harmless and somewhat realistic, they have evolved this inequality in the way women are treated. Objectification is treating someone as an object and taking ownership over that person to carry out sexual desires. Men are treating women as if they can be objectified which
