@icecreamcohn21 I also think that the media is very skewed when it comes to portraying gender. In a lot of movies/tv shows, it portrays stereotypes of a men and women. I think the way that gender is shown throughout media can have a negative impact on some people.
After watching the lecture, college students tend to believe that we face no discrimination once we enter the workplace. This is something that we need to be aware of because we never know what can happen. #cmn432
I think that the education system needs to take a stance and become more gender inclusive. At my high school, they created a gender neutral bathroom and I think that it is a path in the right direction. #CMN432
@RivLeah@JessicaScalise5 I agree that the nuclear family is no longer the most common type of family. Our generation has opened many doors for different types of families and accepted that a nuclear family isn’t the most common type of family anymore.
The power of language is extremely crucial in today’s society. Sometimes people take certain words out of context and turn them into a negative connotation. With everything that has happened in the past few months, people need to be more careful with their words. #CMN432
After watching the video about “Reference Man” something that stood out to me is that when a women is involved in a car crash, they are 47% more likely to be seriously injured than a man. I find this to be an extremely interesting statistic. #cmn432
A movie that stands out to me that would defy gender stereotypes is the movie Hidden Figures. It is about three brilliant African American women that work for NASA that serve as the brains behind one of the most historical moments in history. #cmn432
In our society, people are very close minded and only look at gender as male and female because that’s the stereotypical thing. It is important to know that gender is a widely defined term and there is not just two genders. #cmn432
