This chapter did shed light on the social constructs of gender. I was able to realize this when reading about Madonna she was such a character in the 1980’s, her overt displays of female sexuality elicited condemnation from social conservatives and many times put her in the center of culture wars over this time. Not everyone saw her, as a bad image though, there was also those who applauded its portrait of a sexually empowered…

The “Night to his Day” by Judith Lorber, discusses the persuasiveness of gender behavior in societies and how it is processed in to everyday life. He focuses on the basis of gender construction and discusses its process of development throughout time. Lorber’s time processing of institutionalized gender relates with the gender construction within the pervasive media system. An important discussion in Lorber’s piece especially, is with stratification of gender; furthermore, he claims that the media can attribute towards discussing about bias images causing stratified positions placed against…

Although hegemonic masculinity subordinates other masculine and feminist, it can be challenged by them for example, it shows in most Western societies on how hegemonic masculinity is associated with heterosexuality, In lecture we discuss about emphasized feminity as an important addition to hegemonic masculinity, because it adapts to helpful the importance and needs of men hyper sexualized, heterosexual and to "look" like a female. men are superior an example of emphasized feminity is on how advertising demonstrate emphasized femininity. In lecture we discuss about “peer culture” define as social group that share their similar activity, social status,.Each peer group has its own order, confidence for attitude, and group. As such, we belong to control our attitude and opinion. Children began to make choices for themselves and share in the activity that would allow them to express on who they are. Children are also able to understand and work with their group and cooperate each other, and challenge with each other, group like, for example in club, sport…

In order for a text to remain, relevant and intriguing to responders throughout many contexts, it must challenge conventional roles and values in a revealing and provocative manner. A role that is vital to human understanding is the concept of gender and the effect it has on identity. Through the challenging of these binary gender roles, Shekhar Kapur’s , ‘Elizabeth,’ Anne Taubeneck’s, ‘Gender Roles,’ and Virginia Woolf’s, ‘Orlando’ remain provocative and intriguing texts throughout the ages.…

The most sensitive and controversial topics from time to time is gender representation. Gender representations in media often portray male and female stereotypically, in which they are depicted differently (Doring 2006, p. 173). Even though the representation of gender in media has already been developed lately, but women’s representation in media are still portrayed stereotypically in various ways. According to Amancio (1993), he stated that gender stereotypes are seen as social representations or collective ideologies defining model of behavior. Media do not simply reflect the reality in society about the gender stereotypes; it supports the ruling class’ ideology of patriarchy which controls the issue of gender all over the world by producing…
Scholarly Journals are a useful and reliable source of information that can be used for research, insight, and even to be persuaded on a topic. I chose an article that informs its audience about the influence of media and culture on global women. This journal titled “Losing Bodies” by Susie Orbach is a very informative piece that uses all the techniques in a rhetorical appeal: logos, pathos and ethos. She wants her audience to realize that the local traditions are being lost through the use of media and instead being replaced by uniformity and conformity. In Susie Orbach’s 2011 article, she confronts the issue of global women being conformed of their body traditions and how standardization is replacing diversity, as identical bodies become the norm of belonging and identity.…

Everybody in today’s society experiences gender throughout his or her life. However, as a female, I have personally always been affected by the social construction of gender in my day-to-day life, whether I was aware of it or not. Gender is such a prominent aspect of life for everyone that we barely recognize the effect it has on us, especially when it’s constructed within our own families.…
To illustrate, Adiche acknowledges and understands the cultural and societal implications of gender for people all over the world. She suggests that we create a more equitable and fair world by reconstructing the connotations of gender (and beginning with the younger generations, to truly affect change). An example she gave was to stop making men feel like they have…
