In what free time you have, I ask
that you watch TV. Believe me, I know I'm asking a lot, and it may prove difficult
and arduous, but sometimes we can get relevant sociological information from
television.
Anyway, while watching TV, I would like you do so with eye for depictions of gender
and race roles and norms. Thus, watch a television program or movie that was filmed
before the 1970s (and set in the time of its filming, so no period pieces), and one
that was filmed after 2010 (and set in the time of its filming). In a short
response (two pages or so), compare and contrast the depiction of gender roles and
behaviors. What aspects have remained the same, what has changed? Do you find the
changes to be significant? Why or why not?
Keep the following in mind while completing the assignment:
Be sure to include the details of the programs watched, including the Title and Year
of Release. You can provide a brief synopsis of the plot if you think it is
necessary, but this isn't a film review. The goal isn't to tell me what the
program/film was about or whether it was good or bad.
Try to rely more on specific examples rather than generalities (e.g. X character
always had their eyes downcast when interacting with Y character, instead of X
character seemed subservient at times).
Regarding gender, it is not necessary to focus strictly on women, but rather the
whole range of role and behaviors we deem as either masculine or feminine.
Regarding race, feel free to use your discretion in what you choose to focus on.
