How does media create meanings about gender?

Instructions

After studying the assigned reading Sociology: The Social Construction of Gender and considering the concept of “gender as socially constructed,” answer the following questions and prompts.

A) How does media create meanings about gender?

B) Provide examples of how this is manifested in our everyday lives.

C) Provide a link to a commercial/ad that stereotypes gender. Even though it is natural to find humor in some of these portrayals, in what ways is this problematic.

Also, consider that sex is a system of classification based on biology and physiology, while gender reflects the cultural meaning that is ascribed to a person’s sex, thus resulting in labels of “masculinity and femininity.” Furthermore, our biology is not distinctively male or female and a significant number of people are born “intersex” with variations in chromosomes or sexual organs. Most biological researchers agree on the estimation that intersex people are about as common as encountering someone with green eyes.

It is important to understand that masculinity and femininity are not oppositional, although it seems to be portrayed so in media. In Western society (such as in the U.S. and Western Europe) we typically adhere to certain ideas and values that define masculinity and femininity as we perform the roles. What if the list was different? All of us, in honesty, could reveal that we interchange among the qualities. Take a look at the list and answer the following questions:

Masculinity

Femininity

  • strength
  • dominance
  • aggression
  • independence
  • empowerment
  • active
  • rational thought
  • production
  • breadwinner
  • subject
  • outdoors
  • technology
  • weakness
  • submission
  • compliance/vulnerability
  • dependence
  • disempowerment
  • passive
  • emotion
  • consumption
  • nurturer
  • object
  • indoors
  • nature

Provide answers to the following questions or prompts in your assignment submission.

D) How is the list being currently challenged?

E) What traits do you have that are typically considered “on the list” of the other sex?

F) What examples do you see in your daily life of people challenging the historic list?

G) What about examples in media of characters or people challenging the list?

H) Finally, do you agree or disagree that gender is socially constructed? Provide evidence that backs your opinion.

Do you think the flow of revenue from preventive practice is higher or lower than the revenue generated by more severe conditions?

APA format

175 – 25 words

Cite At least one peer reviewed reference

Respond to the following:

 

Ricci Rizzo

Good description of a typical hospital policy about requiring an X-ray under certain circumstances. There can be a number of reasons for this policy, such as defending the organization against a malpractice lawsuit. These policies also increase the revenue and profits for the hospital, of course. This mix of legitimate reasons with financial performance results in an ethically murky environment.

The large bill that a patient receives as a result of policies like this can prevent them from seeking treatment when a health problem is small. The more severe problems caused by waiting are not in the patient’s best interests. Do you think the flow of revenue from preventive practice is higher or lower than the revenue generated by more severe conditions?
