First day week

Overall I enjoyed the first week of class. I think that they early discussion we had was good and showed a wide range of opinion.

I really enjoyed the Glen reading. I thought that the race and gender part was very interesting. The idea of how Blacks women are usually ones left out when. I had never really put much thought into it before. After reading it, It was on of the moment. When you know that it is so true once it has been brought to your attention.

The other article was interesting. It had a lot of new vocabulary that I see will be playing an important role later in the course. It was a good opportunity to see some of the concepts that we will be taking about as the semester unfolds.

In addition I loved the activity we did in class. When trying to see how women should be or how we see them.

I know personally when I was making the list for media or society. I was taking my ideas from what to famous people look like, what is on TV, or even how women are treated in other countries. I think that when doing an assignment like people to retreat back the "leave to beaver stereo types". While they do exist somewhat in today's cultural, things have changed. Women have evolved out of the housewife role. They have more choices. They are still persecuted at times for choosing work or the house, or having or not having an abortion.
It was so clear when looking at the different posters that how we think the media views people and we view ourselves is so different.

On another note, I think that cultural the role of women and men are different I hope that we dive into that as the semester continues.
