Introduction to representation

1) There are white American males and females.

2) The main male character is seen as dominant whereas the girl is seen as alternative.

3) The main stereotype in this is a heroic male character who attempts to save a vulnerable and emotional female. Also, the white male is seen as academic and educated.

4) Taken could potentially offend Eastern European people as it is suggesting that they are all criminals who kidnaps girls.

5) Mainstream film and television texts use stereotypes to communicate a certain message throughout a story line.

CASE STUDY: everyday sexism

1)Laura Bates created the 'Everyday Sexism' project in order to speak out about sexual harassment and to destroy the normalisation of it. 2)This project links to post-feminism as it trys to encourage gender equality. Although women's rights have become more significant, they aren't as strong as men's rights. Feminism is necessary in today's society as women are sexually exploited on a daily basis and society often normalises it. 3)Technology was essential to the success of this project as it made it easy to spread the word by sharing and the use of hashtags. 4)I believe that the Everyday Sexism project will be required for a while in the future as sexual exploitation has been normalised therefore, we may not be able to change other peoples views and opinions. MEDIA MAGAZINE: the fourth wave? 1)Networked feminism is when it is divided into 'waves'; they explain the different contexts behind them culturally. It started when feminism came about. Femin...
