Men And Women Working Out Together

Dreamworlds 3: Desire, sex & power in music video The film I have chose is Dreamworlds 3: Desire, sex & power in music videos. There are a few directors of this film; they are Andrew Killoy, Jason Young, Jeremy Earp, Sut Jhally. The directors’ argument is that pop culture presents stereotypes about men and women in society that reflects a negative view upon the individuals. In the film Dreamworlds 3: Desire, sex & power in music video, the directors use an audience appeals to ethos, pathos and logos when they argue their case about the way men and women are portrayed in pop culture through unrealistic gender roles, exploitation, and fantasy lives through music videos which makes for a strong case. In the film Dreamworlds 3:

One cultural artifact that portrays femininity is the music video “Confident” by Demi Lovato. The video, while exemplifying some of the typical feminine stereotypes, breaks many gender codes as Demi Lovato empowers females to be just as strong and confident as males. The typical standards of femininity that typically come to mind are certainly far from the message Lovato attempts to send.

Data Analysis from the 50 music video sample showed that hip-hip music videos sexually objectified women more in comparison to country music videos. Accumulated data results, as shown in the 2x2

The video material that I chose to view for this assignment were music videos, which was an unsurprisingly easy decision to make for writing about gender stereotypes. Music videos are watched by millions every day, and many of these provide misogynistic visual media that has been regulated and accepted by society. These negative connotations for women showing them in highly gendered roles mainly doing medial things such as dancing around in lingerie or fawning over a rich, famous, and/or successful man are dangerous towards equality for genders. Young girls and boys seeing this kind of harmful content could lead them to grow up believing they have to conform to these stereotypes and gender roles instead of living how they would prefer.

Music is one of the most influencing media within our time and generation, especially Rap and hip-hop. Demoralizing women has

Attitudes: The audience more than likely feels some disdain for the topic of fitness. No one likes to be reminded that they're unfit and need to get active. With this in mind, I will create a positive attitude about fitness by taking the "work" out of workout and showing how easily attainable it is

I developed a character to be a representative of the main audience for my essay by taking the characteristics of individuals observed in McComas’ weight room and combining them into one persona. Based off of this, the persona is a male Virginia Tech college student who is familiar with the weight room and the concepts of body building. He is in good physical shape, and wears typical gym clothing, such as gym shorts, sweatpants, t-shirts, or wife-beaters. He has long-term experience with the majority of the weight and machines found in McComas’ weight room, and falls into the category of “serious lifters,” rather than just an occasional gym-goer. He is very perseverant in his work out regiment, and has a focused mindset.

According to Article 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in [the] Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.” Because of the establishment of this international document, much progression toward the equality of rights for all with inherited and acquired traits has been achieved over time. In particular, gender equality has made a great deal of headway since the Olympic Games in ancient Greece. Even though this may be the case, there is no doubt that female athletes are far from considered equal as compared to male athletes in modern sports. In today’s sports society, women athletes are still discriminated against based on lower salaries, less media coverage, and lack of opportunity.

Throughout history, woman have been fighting for equality with men. This fight isn’t over and doesn’t stop with the right to vote or the right to wear pants. The progressive movements of feminism are starting to creep into younger generations, including, but not limited to young girls wanting to play on predominantly male-dominated sport teams. There are a lot of controversies when looking at this topic, saying there’s a natural strength advantage, it would be uncomfortable for a male to compete alongside females, among other reasons but ultimately, if the drive and effort is present, there are legal rights and no legitimate reason for woman to not be given the opportunity to prove themselves and normalize the incorporation of females to male sports.

Every day we see images of male violence against women in the news, on TV shows, in the movies, in advertising, sports and in our homes and workplaces. I am a woman and am passionate about my sports. I believe in gender equality and chose these readings in order to have a voice and make a statement in unison of creating change.

The second video is the Honest trailer for the movie 300. The movie critic in the video uses gender criticism to give his opinion on the film. The video highlights points in the video where the men are seen as to be all muscular and in shape and the tone in which they speak to each other is

Fitness is one of the most growing industries in the world. We see it everywhere at the stores, on our televisions, and all around us. We were taught in school that we need to stay fit and healthy or we would become fat and obese. Fitness is so big now because of our recent problems with obesity. The problem with trying to stay fit is it takes and a lot of people do not have time, so companies make workouts that take less than an hour. You look at these people and they are fit there are not heavy people, everybody get results. The sad thing is they were fit from something else and a company just told them to be in this video and we will pay you. The bad thing about the fitness is there are a lot of people that are dishonest and lie about how they got their body. The fitness

Another observance that I made regarded the male and female distributions throughout the day at the UNC Asheville gym. During the morning there was a disproportionate amount of females, with an estimated 65% of the makeup of the gym being females with most using the cycling machines. However later in the day males were the most populous demographic in the gym, and by far the majority was occupied using the weight room or the weight machines. I propose that this may be due to the main motivation differing between males and females using the gym. Society tends to put more pressure on females to lose weight and be in shape, while there is more pressure on males to have large amounts of muscle and generally be larger, with less emphasis placed

Nowadays, certain style of music are becoming more involve in our society than others. For instance, the R&B and Rap/hip pop are now getting the top on the Medias. We will try to explore those music’s gender. We will try to understand why and how they are what they are now?

Sports marketer Richard Armato said, “If you want to be successful as a woman who is an athlete, sex appeal has to be part of the equation” (Ewing & Grady, as cited in Hull et al., 2015, p.108). Some women athletes took this as an advantage and used their sex appeal to lure attention to certain sports. Brooks saw this as a disadvantage, because females were not recognized for their accomplishments but their appearance (as cited in Hull et, al., 2015, p.109). Media plays the main role in how athletes are portrayed using frames, Entman defines frames as highlighting selected information, to make it more noticeable to the audience (as cited in Hull, et al., 2015 p. 109). When it comes to the media, men and women are portrayed differently, majority of women in fitness magazines were depicted as passive in their photo shoots rather than active (opposite then men) (Hardin & Walsdorf, as cited in Hull et al., 2015, p.
