Gracie goes through a series of judgments and obstacles, beginning with her dad’s rejection to work with her as he had, daily, with Johnny. “Dad,” she wonders, so sadly, “Did you ever wish I were a boy?” During her father’s early refusal to address her desire to play soccer, Gracie finds other behaviors to aggravate her father, dating one of the soccer players, drinking and smoking cigarettes and even coming close to having sex in a car.

The wisdom of George Carlin with his spoken word. Carlin was well-known for his black comedy and opinions on politics, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects, but I agree what Carlin has to say about men and women. Here is an excerpt from When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops, Carlin says, “Men are from Earth, women are from Earth. Deal with it” Similar to George Carlin, James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey gave a speech to Achimota College that Aggrey says, “The surest way to keep people down is to educate the men and neglect the women. If you educate a man you simply educate an individual, but if you educate a woman, you educate a whole nation” In Gender Communication class, I learned that a person could educate a man, you educate a man. A person could educate a woman, and that person educates a woman. What matters is what they do with their knowledge irrespective of gender. Men are equally capable of teaching their

In the 2005 film The Wedding Crashers directed David Dobkin show many normal gender stereotypes and gender inequalities that are still present in today’s society. The film mainly focuses on two divorce mediators Jeremy and John who enjoy sneaking into wedding parties in order to get drunk off free booze and seduce bridesmaids. Certainly, the film exposes the bromance relationship that Jeremy and John have, which opposes the hegemonic masculinity that society renders on. Their attendance to Secretary Williams’s party exhibits the patriarchy of a white, rich, and powerful man. And lastly the way the guys view women as part of objectification and women displaying sexual agency towards these two gentlemen has been able to change overtime in society where both concepts have become a norm.
When observing the film Training Day it is very hard not to notice the way in which race plays a part in the film. It's not like a Disney film in which the prejudices against people of color are very in your face, but it's clear enough for anyone to make something of. The first thing to note is the typical Hollywood scenario of the white male hero. The main character Jake Hoyt was one of the only white characters in the movie and he seemed to be the only one who was doing the right thing. Everyone else was a person of color and they were depicted as almost savage like. Hoyt was the one who saved the girl from being raped and he was also the one on Alonzo's team who saw the wrong in what they were doing. Hoyt seemed to be the only person in

In the film, the character Jeffries, is middle class and has different respects for Lisa and Stella, both ladies’ gender influencing on the way he communicates with them. Jeffries character portrays a casual person who doesn't car much for money or wealth, but thrives on adventure, qualities which can be linked to the director himself. He is content and comfortable with the way he lives and happy working in a job that he loves, but not currently as he is “trapped” in his leg cast. Some of the characters don't have this luxury as him but rather a job that is solely provide them with money, like Miss Lonely Heart.

For thousands of years, established gender roles have been a part of our society. Women are commonly known as sensitive, emotional, or passive. On the contrary, men are described as rational, competitive, independent, or aggressive. Believing women are more emotional than men is stereotyping. However, the stereotype is not entirely untrue. Development of gender roles is often conditioned more by environmental or cultural factors than by hereditary or biological factors. The development of gender roles between men and women involves the inference of peer community of each gender, the communication style of male and female and the intimacy or connection level of men and women.

As I walked out of my nine-story apartment complex, I saw an interesting array of faces. Mixed genders, some male, some female, all very different deep down inside. I study their faces, wondering what it'd be like to walk a day in their shoes. Some people are like open books, you can look at their facial expression and instantly guess what their emotions are, yet others are like locked diaries. You can't tell what they're thinking and you'll probably never know. I shake the thought out of my head as I rummage through my pathetic excuse of a handbag, pulling out my most recent bank statement. Thirty-two cents to my name. How do I live like this? My train of thought is lost as my mind ponders elsewhere. Do you think people can tell I'm a broke
