The Stereotypes Of Men In Performing Arts
Kristen, I completely agree with you about the second example we read about. The introduction was an attention grabber and also made me want to continue to read the authors argument. As I continued to read the paper I thought the author did go a good job with her supporting her argument as well as sticking to the thesis. It did get a little biased as you said. It would have been nice to hear the other side of the argument. In the conclusion after reading all of her supported claims it did make me think about how I personally view men in performing arts. The author is right that here is a huge stereotype towards the men in todays society and how it was not always like that. I think that it would take a lot to change the way today’s society views

    Analytical Essay (Wo) Men Rule Broadway

    The performing arts allow one to become another person and indulge in different parts of his personality. On stage, actors can explore key themes and issues within humanity. However, some populations, such as women, feel that their emotional struggles and triumphs are often secondary or, worse yet, absent from the plot entirely. In numerous shows, the female leading role serves solely as the beautiful love interest, while the plot centers around the leading male’s conflicts. Genevieve Flati, a seasoned performer and writer with over 23 years of experience, decided to create the musical revue “(Wo)men Rule Broadway” with the help of musical director Kelly Rogers to portray these human experiences from a woman’s perspective. Flati says, “Our…

    The Importance Of Bias In Rosa Parks

    Many writers like to put time and thought into their work. Putting in all their own thoughts can sometimes not be a good thing. While I was reading several articles about Rosa Parks I have noticed that in every article that I read have some sort of bias in them. Throughout the articles, the authors show several points of bias within their background, point of view, and purpose.…

    Stereotypes Of Celebrities

    Celebrities are stereotyped in many ways. People say that they have the latest in technology, they are stuck up, they always get away with their bad behavior, they always wear fancy clothes, they are all selfish, and they are all rich. For example, super bowl officials say Beyonce's list of demands stretched so far, being so absurd there was no way they could accommodate her. The list included $6,000 of imported cigars for her husband, Jay-Z, to use as she performed and that baby Blue Ivy’s got a $233,000 carriage to be flown in on. Some people stereotype celebrities as irresponsible and can always get away with their bad behavior. They think this because many celebrities seem to escape jail easily. In my age group the majority of people think…

    Diversity In Musical Theater

    Musical theater and entertainment have been an ever-changing enterprise that, until very recently, included little diversity. In March of 2008, a new musical was presented on Broadway. It was titled In the Heights. This new musical featured something never before seen in musical theater: the songs are primarily latino rap. It was a bold step down a path no one had taken before. The story takes places in a poor neighborhood in New York called Washington Heights. Those living there are immigrants from hispanic and latino countries, such as Puerto Rico and The Dominican Republic. This new musical was written by composer, rapper, and actor Lin Manuel Miranda. Miranda starred as the main character, Usnavi. He composed all of the music, rap, and lyrics for the show. At a performance in the White House for president…

    Overcoming Bias In My Writing Objectively

    As a researcher, I can identify that bias by the author's argument appealing more emotional than logical, the writing piece have a limited view of the topic, and aspects of the writing are worded with the intention of oversimplifying and over generalizing. I can attempt to overcome that bias by refraining my usage of generalizations, support statements in my writing with facts & research, write objectively, and write inclusively. Writing objectively means to write without having a preset opinion or presenting a personal preference in your writing piece. Writing inclusively means to make sure that you are not excluding nor implying inferiority within your writing. Another way you can attempt to overcome that bias is to be specific in your writing…

    Gender Stereotypes

    In the texts of ‘The Chrysanthemums’ by John Steinbeck, ‘Folk Hero’ by H.M. Tolcher and ‘Ode to Barbie’ by Romanie Moreton the concept of gender is supported and challenged in a variety of ways. Men are typically portrayed as hard-working, rebellious and fulfilling a job in a male dominated profession. In contrast to this, females are depicted as fragile and emotional, having the role of the housewife. The authors of the following texts have made use of descriptive language, imagery, figurative language and many more to communicate the themes of relationships, betrayal and identity. More so each author represents their perspective of gender, based on stereotypes.…

    Sexism in Music

    There are countless forms of media out there that are in one way or another degrading and offensive towards women. The one that is of most interest to me is music. Whether songs are blatantly sexist and downright rude to women, like many rap songs, or overtly offensive such as many rock and roll songs, women are commonly demeaned by lyrics in countless songs throughout the ages. I don’t even listen to rap music because it is particularly offensive to women, more so than any genre, making it very profane and unenjoyable in general. Because of this class I have started to become more aware of media that supports stereotypes of women, and other cultures, and while listening to music the other day, I began to notice that rock and roll (my favorite genre) can at times be just as offensive to women as any other type of music, even rap. Whether it is plain and obvious in the lyrics, or in some form of innuendo, many classic rock songs are in fact very insulting or disturbing to me as a woman, in many ways. This is detrimental to our society because many men and women alike listen to these songs and they taint their image of gender roles. The lyrics in these songs make it seem as if it is okay for a man to hurt women, possess or own women, and makes women believe that the most important thing in life is their looks. A culture that believes all of the aforementioned ideas, is not a culture I want to grow up in.…

    Masculinity in Rap and Hip Hop

    Today in Hip Hop every rapper has to portray themselves as being hard, having a lot of girls in their circle and having money. Since the beginning of the American society being considered a real man was to be able to protect their families. When television came around western films portrayed men as either strong or weak and defined their masculinity as being the stronger man because of their guns. For example in a western movie during a draw two men would be about twenty feet away from each other and whichever man shot the other man first won the draw and was then considered the dominant male and very masculine. Therefore what goes on in rap songs about the talk of gun play and who is more masculine between rappers is nothing new in American society.…

    Gender Stereotypes In Music

    When analyzing or studying the lives of Asian/Asian American musicians, it is important to note how much race and gender are in effect. Race is not of such importance when it comes to only Asian/Asian Americans being compared to each other but instead can put them at a disadvantage if being compared to other races and ethnicities when it comes to their musical careers. From that comes an sub-cultural issue: gender stereotypes. Asian/Asian American men and women both suffer from their own type of stereotype; women are often perceived as timid, shy, loyal, aggressive, over sexualized, the list could go on forever, really; and Asian American men are often seen as hypo masculine, geeky, as masters of kung fu or as tech friendly computer guys.…

    Role Of Masculinity In The Music Industry

    Westerners, upon viewing popular male Japanese musical artists such as Gackt, T.M.Revolution, and Psycho le Cemu, are often struck most by one aspect of these artists' appearance -- Their apparent femininity. Yet Gackt and T.M.Revolution are unquestionably heartthrobs in Japan, attracting mostly female audiences. These men are considered "dream guys" to these women, a model of the ultimate man. However, these men are often perceived to have feminine characteristics by Western audiences, in some cases causing laughter or disgust. Why then are these seemingly feminine men worshipped by teenage girls in Japan? Clearly Japan's music industry, and indeed their very culture, has different standards of masculinity or what makes a man a man, than these…

    English Composition Class Analysis

    I like to question the Male athletes, on the other hand, tend to be subject to a greater analysis of their sporting abilities; on-field exploits and physical capabilities are given a higher priority. It seems to me that, although women athletes are profiled, and this is great, the way the media goes about this seemingly is to attract a greater male readership.writer on his reasons for the topic being read. Seeing the difference between a biased writer and a writer who states his side profusely but, then like to give credit to the opposing side. This makes the writer seem like he/she is not arrogant to not acknowledge the opposing side. I like to see what people thinks on certain topics. For example, there are many articles stating their belief on media misrepresentation on female athletes. Some will say that female athlete should still act feminine whether they are playing a manly sport or not. Others would say that it does not matter if the female athlete is feminine or not. What is important is how good they are in the game. In the article, “How the Media Portrays Females Athletes”, Aimee Lamoureux includes a quote from Donna A. Lopiano that when males win a game, media shows off their skills and their winning to all who is watching. When a female athlete wins, the media focuses on how the woman looks. Or, any other non-related activity that she is doing. In paragraph 2, Lamoureux quotes, “Girls also see a…
