Hot In Here Stereotypes

The video is able to show the different phases individuals may go through when dealing with this relationship, such as the honeymoon phase or the abusive phase. However, the song and music video has faced much backlash due to it glorifying domestic violence disputes.  It is out question that we as human begins can be influenced by outside factors other than ourselves and the music industry is a perfect example of such.  The music industry and artist are known to display messages or even symbols that can be quite questionable , so I am not suprised that this video is doing the same thing.  Music tends to reflect the culture and activies of its time. For example, Christina Aguileria created the song Beautiful when numbers of bullying started to increase and when individuals felt like outcast.  However, what about domestic violence issues; there isn't much songs that support women or even men in this type of relationships but we do see videos where the women or men end up going back to the abuser, exactly what does that do.  Not to mention, women in music videos are more seen as objects the actual huan beings. For instance, in rap videos women are seen either following the man around or twerking to gain his attention.  The music industy tolerates and also contributes to domesti violence , the only way that can change is if the music industry changes

Although in the 60’s, when this song was first released, women might have had positive views about this song; because in fact women’s role 50 years ago was mainly adhering to their man’s need, whether it being supporting him, serving him or pleasing him. In which the

To others it implies that women are an easy lay and that men get along with females for their own sexual gratification. The negative message that is provided, implies that males believe that females are only useful for sex. Feminist blogger Danielle Chemtob further analyzes the song by watching the music video, and states “The video starts off in a butcher shop that Levine works at, which conveys the idea that the woman in the video is a piece of meat to him. Furthermore, the girl is hardly ever featured with her face—rather, there are many images of portions of her naked body—objectifying her even more.” Not only is the message presented in the song, but is also demonstrated in a video suggests that males often sexualize the female

While the video enforces a rape culture, it simultaneously sexually objectifies women. This sexual objectification that occurs is when the women’s sexual body parts are separated and paid close attention to in relation to the rest of their body (Gervais, Vescio, Förster, Maass & Suitner, 2012). In the video, Thicke continues to sing while the women, fully naked apart from a small nude thong, stand around looking into the camera with a clueless expression. While they dance around Thicke and play around with the meaningless props that do not have anything to do with the video or the music, they essentially become body props for the pleasure of Thicke and the other men in the video. In one scene, Thicke’s has a close up shot of his face while he uses the woman’s feet as a tool of a microphone

From the moment my mom gave birth to me, I was raised in an environment full of culture. The monthly loteria days, full of tamales and menudo, seemed like a normality to me. Coming from an intensely Mexican family, there were obviously traditions that may have seemed weird to those that did not experience day-to-day exposure to our heritage.

¨No sports, no jeans, you have to cross your legs.¨ This is what women have to do to be accepted by today's world on how they should act. Women have a harder time living up to modern day stereotypes because, they should always be ladylike and they have to act like a lady to get a man.

Brave New World, a fictional novel written by Adolus Huxley, is a story that criticizes society and the social stereotypes that humanity faces. Although this novel is fictional, it does hold a merit of truth and meaning that reflects our society today. The issues addressed include love, oppression, reliance on drugs, and ignorance. Some of the topics that Adolus Huxley covers is that people will come to love their oppression and take pleasure in the technologies that undo their capacity to think, that truth will be drowned in ignorance, and that people will become a trivial culture preoccupied around things like feelies. Huxley fears that our society will be taken over by the reliance on technologies, and by the rise of ignorance

Throughout literary history there has been an abundance of female characters who seem to embody a single stereotype. Alfred Lord Tennyson’s The Lady of Shalott is an extremely influential literary ballad with a protagonist who exemplifies the idea of a ‘pure woman’. By analysing Tennyson’s work, we can come to recognise how Tennyson constructs this feminine image and how this portrayal has influenced and appeared in other literary works. This concept of a pure women represents a very one dimensional portrayal of women, in comparison works such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Christabel contain female characters who express sexuality and are therefore portrayed as evil seductresses. By comparing and analysing these two extremities of female character we can recognise how prevalent this portrayal of the female body as a passive muse is

The lyrics from this part of the song also relate to people who are feminists or what Conley writes as “a consciousness raising movement to get people to understand that gender is an organizing principle of life. The underlying belief that women and men should be accorded equal opportunities and respect.” However, everything in this song says that it is easier to be a boy because in a relationship it is easier for them to not care. In turn the song is demeaning the feminists in the world who want to have equal rights or opportunities. Along with those who believe you can put yourself first or make their own rules even if it's not what society deems as an actual rule to fit in. We don’t have to be under men in society, but we can’t just assume that we know everything about boys. Especially for a song that follows the societal norms of what a boy should do in a relationship. We have to see that yes boys tend to do this, but it doesn’t mean you could be any better if you were suddenly that

A regular person would typically have an easy time distinguishing an individual who is abnormal if he is not qualified based on the set of norms a regular person believes and follows. These beliefs are dictated by the society an individual lives, in fact, he needs to inculcate in order to be accepted. This is one of the reasons why things or actions that are not familiar to one’s knowledge are considered abnormal for many. Unfamiliar behaviors may cause alarm because a normal person in a society does not know how to handle or to react properly. For instance, they tend to isolate those people who are abnormal. An individual may also consider a disabled person abnormal, knowing that the he does not have the capacity to contribute to the society-

For men, this song demonstrates the gender norms of predatory behavior towards women and that men

The song also exhibits the side of good feminism, as it relates independence in handling personal crises (315) and decision making. The subject of race or color in intermeddling on the tone of feminism in the song is not transparent. The song justifies the context of relationships between a man and a woman, where oftentimes women are treated as fools, weak and easy to manipulate. In regard to the theme that good women are “charming, polite and unobtrusive” (304), the song clearly depicts the opposite. The woman in the song is more impatient, unforgiving, obtrusive and hateful.

The song “Big Pimpin’” women are looked upon as objects where there is a lot of hypersexual activity throughout the video. Women are rubbing themselves upon the artist and flaunting their bodies in a degrading manner. This music video emphasizes the ‘original’ black men nature, how they prefer big butts and big-breasted women. The video’s obvious focus is based on the lower region of women’s body: the women’s butts. This video reinstates the fact that women must always look a certain way to be desired by men. All women in the video are dressed a certain way so we can focus on their bodies, white women’s breasts are shown more than the black women’s breast. However the black women’s butts are shown more than the white women’s butt. This demonstrates the stereotype that continues to this day that women will only be viewed as an object. The music video identifies a stereotype that men will always prefer women with a sexier body than those with regular bodies. “The sexist lyrics, images, and scenarios in hip-hop music videos are alarming because they perpetuate gender stereotypes and discrimination.” (Chung,

The Song is devoid of any “patriarchal” mindset; the woman exhibits a consciousness of being highly valued. If she’s in a patriarchal society, then she has learned to be counter –cultural, just as the Hebrew Bible is counter-cultural with ANE and other ancient literature. She neither sees herself oppressed nor in a subordinate position. She values her sensuality and sexuality and sees herself as good as anyone else, even if her “patriarchal” world refuses to offer equal opportunity for her kind. Or perhaps she truly lives in a heterarchical culture? She does not strive to be equal with men
