Question

How does the media reflect attitudes on gender as far as depicting women and men in very traditional roles? Provide two detailed examples that substantiate your points—these can be an advertisement, television show, website, or magazine. When you think of various groups (race, class, and gender) in society, which ones have the most power and which ones have the least?

Answer 1

In general both the media and society in general portray men as successful and women as housewives, obviously the change to this is radical and has been happening, but in any case, when women work and have children they are portrayed as people who do not have time to pay attention to their children, when this is the same for men but is not reported in the same way. A great example of this is politics and as the vast majority of these spaces are occupied by men, just as company CEO's are mostly men, and when they are women who hold the same position, they earn less.

Men have always had a place in society different from women who fought and fight every day for these spaces.
