Assignment
2
For
this assignment, you will prepare a presentation on images related to gender.
You can use presentation software/programs such as Prezi, Kaltura, Powerpoint,
Keynote, or Youtube for the assignment. Many of these programs offer free
basic membership. Please contact the instructor if you would like to use
another program for the assignment. Be creative in the assignment–you can
include audio and/or video clips, images, links, etc. Your presentation
should be creative and visually appealing as well as incorporate each of the
following components:
1.
Select at least 4 images in the media that are related to gender roles.Â
You should select two images that seem to depict traditional
gender roles and two images that seem to depict
nontraditional gender roles. This can include advertisements, music videos,
news reports, clips from a television show, etc. Please include an
embedded image, link, etc. for each of the four selected as well as a brief
description of the images. Include the source, date of publication, and other
identifying details in the References section. Incorporate an introduction
and conclusion in the presentation as well.
2.
Next, evaluate the way that gender is depicted in the selected images.
Describe why you selected each image and how it depicts either traditional or
nontraditional gender roles in society. Compare and contrast the
selected images, addressing similarities and differences in terms of their
depiction of gender.
3.
Analyze the images using related theories, course materials, sociological
research, and/or additional scholarly sources. For example, what do the images
tell us about sexism in society, the social construction of gender,
masculinities, femininity, second sexism, gender roles, inequality,
etc.? Use at least 4 references.
A
link can be submitted instead of an uploaded assignment if applicable based

can view a presentation on
gender and the media for additional analysis of how gender is depicted in the
