SPCH 5000: Blog Post 11
Gender roles and gender characteristics is a very interesting topic to discuss. Not only do many individuals within the media world consum these characteristics and portray them in their everyday lives, but it is something that makes the media stand out above all the rest. Characters in movies are told to play roles of people that they may not relate to at all, but they take on the roles and play them to the best of their abilities. Watching all the different movies and television shows that are being played around the world and seeing the individuals taking on the different gender roles, is what makes these shows and movies so great. But that is my opinion on the gender role situations!

Kali, I also have noticed is through out different faucets of media. To see how the rhetor shapes each character to form their gender identity. Like we talked about in our Global Communication class, all of this will continue to globalize and affect how people view their genders.
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes the impact that the media plays in our society. My niece and nephew who are 3 and 1 years old are learning things that I never would have learned that young due the media and the content our world is exposed to. In a way if it's used well it could benefit our world so much especially as it become more world-wide. But if not, it could cause more harm than good.
