Question

A news story suggests that high-profile producers in Hollywood hold enormous power over young actresses and can coerce these actresses into doing things they may not want to do. What theory best captures the viewpoint of this story?

Answer 1

This news story is completely accurate. Hollywood is an industry that produces world-famous movies, and in that industry the place of each worker is well known. In some cases, even directors have less power than producers.  Producers are the ones who order how the movie will be shot, how much money will be invested, etc. Based on this, a script is being worked out or a literary work is being processed. Then, as in any industry or company, the director who will be the executor of the works will be chosen, according to producers' ideas. Of course, one fine should be kept in mind, not all the directors have the same credibility and rank, but the producers know perfectly well how to achieve what they want. It's the same with the actors, the older and credible ones have a certain status, but the younger ones can be forced to do anything if they want to build a reputation.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is feminist theory.

Explanation:

Feminist theory suggests that patriarchy is embeded in every institution in a society, therefore, there is a gender inequality that favors men, but this inequality is structural, social structures and institutions support and maintain it. In this example, Hollywood producers, that are usually men, hold a position of power over young actresses and they use this position to abuse women.
