A young blonde girl appearing to be between the ages of 10-12 wears a gold and black helmet. The camera pans to a male child in the race cracking his neck and the other passing his hand across his neck as to appear intimidating. The young girl appears determined as she pulls the handle of her cart to begin the race. One deep breath and she is off. At the same time you can hear her father narrating while she continues to race down the hill. He begins by saying, “What do I tell my daughter.” YouTube (2017) “Do I tell her that her grandpa is worth more than her grandma?” YouTube (2017) “That her dad is worth more than her mom.” YouTube (2017) “Do I tell her that despite her education, her drive, her skills her intelligence she will be automatically be valued less than every man she ever meets.” YouTube (2017) as she continues to zip down the hill she passes everyone around her and ultimately gets to the finish line first. Her dad’s last words are “Or maybe I’ll be able to tell her something different.” YouTube (2017) as he claps during her victory. Both dad and daughter then walk to a black Audi vehicle …show more content…
The male actors were used to play up the drama and to show aggression and intimidation typical traits associated with male behavior. The story seems to appeal to the emotions that women may go through whether in life or in the work force. Whether people want to accept it or not men have higher salaries than women overall. That is not to say that all women are paid unfairly. There are plenty of women who have higher or equal salaries in comparison to their male counterparts. The same can be said about females who are “homemakers” there are plenty of women who work rather than tend to the home. The race can be interpreted as a symbolism of the women’s drive to become equal to their male
In the movie there was a lot of traditional gender-role. Men had to prove they are though and women had to me caring a nurturing. Oscar had to play a dominant role around his family and friends. Oscar was struggling with money because he recently got fired but he wouldn’t let anyone know. Around Oscar’s friends he had to show how tough
I feel that this film is neither anti-male nor anti-female. Although I do not think it is anti-male it does put men in a negative light and makes them seem stupid. Some examples of this are the truck driver on the high way. He is disgusting and is twirling his tongue at them making sexual remakes. He is portrayed like a pig and has seems to be very stupid. Another example of this is the cop who they lock in the trunk. Some more examples are Thelma’s husband who is very stupid and controlling. All of the men in the movie fit the male stereotype as stupid, controlling, mean, and only want sex. I do think the men were stereotyped and definitely put in a negative light, but that is something women face all the time in movies and media and that
The film mentioned the gender inequality and social stratification as well as struggles against racism during the Mexican-Americans miners’ strike in New Mexico. It shows how the miners were discriminated from white people who had higher ranking on the social ladder, and how the women were inferior to men economically and politically. The miner workers had same concept with Functionalist theories on the lecture where mentions “what is best for society means what is best for men”. However, at the end of the movie shows the entire working class community could all come together in a shared political action both men and women in the grim affairs of the strikers, and of the strong determination of the women to participate in the carrying on of
The women during WW11 took on the traditional role of man, doing the work to build ships, planes and missles. For the first time they were doing both roles the man's job and there's some were mother's. 4) How is race portrayed in the film?
The theme of gender is presented to the audience as dramatic irony as well, since this play was written in 1912, the play shows how women were in that certain period of time, they didn’t have as many rights, they weren’t treated equally with men, in fact they were seen to be lower than men. However in the time that this play was written which is 1945 women had a lot more rights due to the fact that when men left the country for war, which according to Mr.Birling wasn’t supposed to happen, all the women were the people who looked after the country and kept it going, women became more interdependent and the society just grew and became a lot more open minded with their thoughts. JB Priestly has tried to show the importance of women in the play as well in the play as well at some places but very indirectly, like in that part where the inspector says, “There are a lot of young women living that sort of existence in every city and big towns in this
Throughout Acts 1 and 2, Abigail Williams is clearly the most to blame for wrongfully accusing people and begetting lies to save her. She is a malicious and manipulative girl that will do anything to appear as a saint in the community and keep out of trouble, even in harming herself. One of the reasons she is to blame is Abigail Williams’ attempt to kill Elizabeth Proctor. This and hatred eventually led to the arrest of Elizabeth Proctor. Because John’s love for Abigail is still evident, John Proctor was hesitant in going to the court to condemn Abigail until his wife’s arrest.
To others, this movie is a goldmine of gender stratification examples. There are about ten major characters in
During the 1940’s in America, times were hard. It was a time of war. In this period of history, people found themselves looking for peace and innocence. John Knowles’s A Separate Peace illustrates a boarding school, one of the only places left to find peace, where the main characters, Gene and Phineas, face their own internal wars with each other. Starting out their friendship seems strong and everlasting but as the novel progresses, like all friendships, the fire between them seems to dwindle. Although they share the goal of excelling, Phineas and Gene clearly differ in athletics, academics, and personality.
Another display of White male patriarchy attempting to maintain hegemony is in the play Race by David Mamet. Susan’s racial project of black women is that they are defenseless and week against the oppression of the white man. She gives the victim a voice “She’s a poor girl. She loved the dress. It meant respectability.” Susan’s co-worker Henry who is black never trusted Susan’s but Jack was afraid of being sued for not hiring an “Ivy League” educated black woman.
In the movie they was definitely has a pull and push with femininity and masculinity in the reading the Representing women they state that “gender ideology constructs femininity as inferior to masculinity.”(p.96) in the film you see the male characters acting like they were much smarter than the black characters. There was scene where Jim Parsons character was visibly upset that Katherine Johnson (played by Taraji P. Henson) was hire to double check his work. He believe that she was inferior to him because she was black and a
To get us started, how do the roles and identities of women in this play compare to that of the male figures?
Although this stereotype isn’t as prevalent as racism, it still is equally significant. Throughout this film women are seen as weak and emotional. They often rely on men to get things done. As well as doing most of their work in the household. At the beginning of the film the mother, Martha, was preparing food for the family dinner, which depicts women as household figures. Another example of extreme gender roles is that Lucy and Debbie were kidnapped and were in need of being rescued. Ethan later discovered that was Lucy was raped and murdered. Debbie’s only hope of freedom after being taken by the Comanche tribe relied in the hands of her uncle and brother. Lastly, sexism is depicted by Scar having multiple wives, never the other way around. Throughout this film, men are seen as superior, having more control over the outcome of the
The main thrust of the play has a lot to do with gender relations in
My thoughts on the gender quiz was in belief on somethings. it's amazing how men and women are really different in some many ways. Men and women are different when it comes to their health, the way that talk and some many other ways. On my gender quiz i received a 90% missing the last question.
