Instead of presenting males and females in the "traditional" roles, television and film seems to depict an entirely different focus. Specifically, the male protagonist is often viewed against a background of multiple females in contexts that suggest all of the females are sexually available to the male. In terms of attire, female models in this genre of entertainment typically represent hyper-sexuality and are clearly meant to be sexually provocative.
Advertising apparently directed at primarily black audiences tends to incorporate sexuality less differently from that geared to white audiences, frequently relying on similar messages that associate products with the desirability of the consumer to highly attractive models of the opposite sex.
Latino-Oriented Media:
Generally, contemporary sexual behavior depicted in television and film whose target audience is primarily Latino tends to emphasize a third formula for sexual expression and gender relations. Specifically, Spanish television routinely features females in a manner that is much more sexually provocative than typical white-oriented entertainment, within a context in which the female is often viewed as a seductress.
Unlike much black-oriented entertainment, the predominant theme is apparently...
Males are often presented in ways that suggest they are "overwhelmed" by the sexual attractiveness of a sexualized female; as often as not, she is oblivious to this dynamic, at least initially. When sexual jealousy is represented in Latin-oriented media, it seems to be more often as a character trait; by contrast, black and white-oriented representations of sexual jealousy tend to be based more on situational circumstances. In terms of advertising media, Latin-oriented commercials tend to rely on themes that are similar to the enhancement of the consumer's relative attractiveness to the opposite gender as well. However, whereas black and white-oriented advertising more often focuses on the relative ability of the target audience to successfully pursue objects of their affection, Latin-oriented advertising seems to emphasize the theme of uncontrolled irresistibility in the same context, instead.
Sociology of the Workplace ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY Gender Inequality at Workplace Annotated Bibliography Dixon, S. (2001). Work Experience and the Gender Earnings Gap. New Zealand Economic Papers, 35(2), 152+. Retrieved March 27, 2012, from Questia database: http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=5002436019 In this article, Dixon reviews and presents the information about the work experience profiles of men and women working in New Zealand. The author uses two methods, which were introduced by Zabalza and Arrufat (1985) and by Filer (1993)
In its current form in the U.S., prostitution is associated with high rates of criminality, but that is likely a function of its illegal status more than of anything inherent in prostitution. Prostitution is also associated with high risks of STDs, but a closer examination of the specific factors to which that is attributable strongly suggest that legalizing prostitution can effectively eliminate that negative element. Ultimately, prevailing negative attitudes
Sociology of Women Family Family, as sociology recognizes is one of the most important institutions that contribute to the process of primary socialization of an individual. However, like all other institutions, family is one of the crucial grounds where feminists have a lot to argue about and they fight for the rights of women and the need to be given an appropriate space and respect in the household. As the distribution of work
More specifically, whereas certain components of human behavior are hard wired, many other components are learned from exposure to others in society. According to this view, the individual learns by watching others, starting in early childhood. By adulthood, those expectations transmitted through social learning are completely internalized by the individual and not perceived as matters that one learns from others. By imitating adult role models and emulating behaviors expected of
True freedom does exist, but Black America has not yet found it. From Redistribution to Recognition? In this article by Nancy Fraser, the problem of social inequities is discussed in terms of the definitions that lead to potential solutions. Ms. Fraser spends a considerable amount of time examining the mechanics of race, gender, and sexuality. Rather than see society socialistically in terms of economics, the author singles out these purely cultural
Thus the argument over whether prostitution should remain illegal or whether it should be decriminalized or made lawful, focuses principally on ethical and realistic considerations. Those opposed to legalized prostitution tend to underscore the horrors associated with the profession. They point to the trafficking in women and children, and the physical, sexual, and economic abuse of these same individuals. Prostitutes are thought to engage in a profession so reprehensible that
