Media demonstrate that how to constructed man or women images.

As we can see that , media are impacting the world ,one of the impact is demonstrate that how to constructed man or women images, and i am going to give some examples to prove it up . Some media such as magazine , film and advertising, by using gender stereotypes to explain how to become a mainstream “man” and “women” , for example , base on some notes that we had discuss in class , the dominant ideal is epitomised by some stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Clint Eastwood , the “hero” and “real man” figure continues to be enormously popular in film or tv , to emphasize that in this view,there is some cultural differences between on the local images and the Western one,local culture is not so sight of heroism, but Western are .The Western people will think that they have abillities to control all the thing on this world , so that when there are disaster in this world somewhere ,the western people will help and solve that and they will think that there are hero . Also , magazine will constructed the men / women images, for example , “Men’s uno “ tell men how to become a real man daily life’s detail , “Beauty and Hair magazine” tell woman that they should make themselves more beauty and charming, so that the will become a real women completely ,and silmming advertising instilled fiber and silm body is beautiful values for women ,fitness advertising instilled strong and muscle body is awesome vales for man . So that, sum up all the point ,we can see that , media are demonstrating men/women images and affecting people deeply . Chan Ho Yin Edward (10643395)

  1. Dear Edward, The discussion of gender representation is fine. Proper examples are used. Try to describe how the gender representation would look like rather than briefly reiterate that gender is cultural construction. Media effects are oversimplified at the end of the writing.
