Discussion 3

Before participating in this discussion board, please be sure to view and listen to the lecture, as well as complete this week’s reading.

For our week three discussion board, please answer the following:

1. I showed you a variety of advertisements in this week’s lecture. Choose one to analyze yourself: consider the gender stereotypes being depicted, and how are they being depicted? Consider those in the advertisement itself, the coloring, the positioning, the fonts, etc. Take into consideration every aspect of the advertisement.

2. Think of a recent interaction you had with someone (either a close relationship or just an acquaintance), and how did gender play a role in that interaction? Reference the terms discussed in this week’s lecture.

3. Think of a recent interaction you had with someone – same interaction as in the previous question or completely different interaction – how did culture play a role in that interaction? Consider the cultures you identify with before answering.
