We are all exposed to media since young and this helps us shape our minds and mentality. However, it might not always be a good thing as this could lead to the continuing oppression of women. Women are frequently portrayed as objects for male satisfaction and assumed to be submissive to men. Many programs out there worsen the stereotype of incompetent females who rarely solve problems but are often the cause of it; and very commonly men are the solution providers. In conclusion, women need better representation in the media.
Survey
Gender:
1) Do you agree that TV programs (sitcoms, series, movies) promote and encourage women to be submissive to men? Why?
2) Do you agree that music videos these days (Flo Rida’s Elevator and Pitbull’s Hotel Room Service) portray women as objects whose primary goals should be finding male approval and keeping it? Why say so?
3) Do you agree that the advertising industry supports and reinforces these behaviours? Why?
4) Do you think women with high flying successful careers must sacrifice love as seen in most TV shows? Why?
5) Do you think issues affecting women (marital rape, domestic abuse, wage inequality) are overshadowed by sensational news (speeches by influential men, murder, ribbon cutting corporation events) If yes, do you think it is fair and acceptable?
