Thinking Critically about “Sesame Street”
1. This essay spends no time on the criteria part of the argument (“Sexism is bad’) and all its time on the match argument (“Sesame Street exhibits sexism”). Why do the authors feel no need to defend the criterion?
The authors feel no need to defend the criterion because we already know sexism is bad. We face sexism every day in our society from education to jobs. We already know the signs and effects of sexism in the real world. If you watch the kid shows you would not notice the signs of sexism they point out unless you are looking for it.
2. Do the authors convince you that Sesame Street is sexist?
Yes the author convinces
