The perception of femininity

I believe that the perception of femininity is changing in the western societies. For example, in the past the women were expected to be weak and passive, they still are. The change is that now, they are also expected to compete against men in bussiness life. The main problem of this changing phase is that women are expected to be weak and strong at the same time. Since this is impossible, the perception of femininity will keep confusing the younger generations.

Gender inequalities in films

There are some very realistic films out there. In these films. the real life is reflected as it is. Therefore, the social issues are also reflected very clearly. One of the most important social issues is the gender issue. Unfortunately, men and women are not equal in real life and this can be seen in the realistic movies that I am talking about. For instance, in Chocolat there are very serious inequalities between men and women. I believe that films, and more generally media, is a good indicator of social issues in a society.

Television as a manipulative object

When I was a little kid, I used to spend majority of my time watching TV. My parents would be at work and all I could do at home was to play with my toys or watch TV. I believe that the TV shows and the advertisements had a great effect on my perception of "right" and "wrong".In my opinion, the colourful box named "television" has great effects on people's minds and unless controlled carefuly, these effects can be harmful. Television is strenghtening the social inequalities. Men and women, the poor and the rich, the black and the white, cannot be equal in real life as long as they are not equal in television.
