  • Katha Pollitt's Impacts Of Female Role Models In The Media

    Grandmother, mother, daughter, sister, aunt: what does the future hold for the women of the world? In 1991 Katha Pollitt had that same question. In an article in The New York Times Pollitt expressed her concerns regarding female role models in the media for the younger generation. “Contemporary shows are either essentially all-male, like Garfield, or organized on what I call the Smurfette principle: a group of male buddies will be accented by a lone female, stereotypically defined” (as cited in Green & Lindsky, 2012, p. 546) Katha Pollitt argues that the television shows children are watching are predominantly male leads, thus leaving girls without suitable role models. But why does a role model for a girl have to be a woman? Over the 25

  • Media Analysis of Gender

    1742 Words  | 4 Pages

    First of all, in The Simpsons, the scene where we get into the actual plot of the story opens with Marge and Lisa walking into a department store that sells dolls. The gender stereotype that girls are only interested in playing with dolls is reinforced here as a huge selection of Malibu Stacy dolls is on display with a throng of screeching, bloodthirsty girls tearing the store apart. Lisa says, “I’m warning you mom, I might get a little crazy.” and immediately knocks down a girl and snatches another in a choke-hold to be the first in line for the new Malibu Stacy doll. In the very next scene we have the whole family in the car with Homer driving. He is baking a cupcake with an easy-bake-oven that he bought from the mall. Marge advises him that he should not be doing that. The stereotype here is that men are more impulsive as demonstrated by Homer and his baking while driving without any concern of his or his family’s safety; and that women like to play it safe and think before acting as demonstrated by Marge. Another noteworthy observation is the fact that Homer completes his gender stereotype as the bread-winner of the family. He works at the Nuclear power plant while Marge plays the role of the proud homemaker who is rarely seen outside the home and who has little friends. Homer on the other hand, is not confined to his domestic role and his frequently shown at Moe’s Tavern with his friends, at work, or doing something that is stupid and dangerous. This enforces the stereotype that women have few friends and stay close to domestic life whereas men have lots of friends, are more independent, and bring home the bacon. Moreover, Bart and Lisa are in accordance with their gender stereotypes as well. For instance, in the backseat, Ba...

  • Celebrification In The Media Essay

    2718 Words  | 6 Pages

    The celebrification of politicians is not a new phenomena, politicians have been using the media to build up a profile of themselves, a one that they want to portray, for decades. Adolf Hitler used the media to a whole new extent in the 1930s and by many, was seen as a celebrity. In Michael Munn’s Hitler and the Nazi Cult of Celebrity, he likens the hysteria caused by Hitler’s public appearances to the “adolescent frenzy of Beatlemania”(2013: 41). There’s evidence of the celebrification of politicians even in the 1800’s in Chris Rojek’s Celebrity (2001: 143), where Ulysess S Grant visited Newcastle, and 800,000 people lined the streets to greet him, as a celebrity. Even now, the celebrification of politicians is rife, with Boris Johnson being a devout advocate of this tool. The celebrification of politicians is having quite an effect on the public sphere, as some claim decisions are being made on the basis of celebrity and not on political ideologies (Couldry & Markham, 2007) while (Rojek, 2011) believes any widening of the public sphere is a welcome addition. The blurring of lines between what is a celebrity and what is a politician is becoming increasingly hard to decipher as Streets’ Mass Media, Politics and Democracy states “TV schedules and newspapers draw neat boundaries between what is politics and what is entertainment…but this formal distinction between what counts as politics and what does not is sometimes not as clear as it seems.” (Street, 2001 :61) and this is the problem facing the public sphere. Jurgen Habermas defined the public sphere in his 1989 work The Strucutural Transformation of the Public Sphere – An Inquiry Into a Category of Bourgeois Society, as “the sphere of private people who join together to form a ‘...

  • Psychology and The Media

    563 Words  | 2 Pages

    It's clear to see the media focuses on various reports, television shows, and even sitcoms regarding all forms of psychology. While watching television one can say media basically relies on psychology. The media of psychology views psychology through means of common sense versus an actual science. Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processed. Behavior is anything you do that can be observed. In the media we can observe people through the television screen. Through our observations we learn from their behavior. For example in a famous experiment conducted by Albert Bandura called, "Bobo Doll Experiment," a preschool child is working on a drawing. An adult in another part of the room is building with Tinkertoys. The child is watching this adult through a television screen and watches as the adult gets up and for nearly ten minutes pounds, kicks, and throws around the room a large inflated Bobo doll, while yelling hurtful sayings such as, "Sock him in the nose" or "Hit him down" and even "Kick him". After the adult was done, the child was taken to another room and demonstrated the same actions as they have seen through the television screen to the Bobo Doll. It's clear to see from the experiment the media teaches society many aspects of psychology. From a psychological aspect we see a child observing violent behavior from what the media has presented. Humans learn through observation and in a world where technology is advancing, the media plays a large role.
