Through Their Eyes: The Male Gaze and the Objectification of Women in Media

Image
There are many ways women are shown in the media, but often in a patriarchal system, women are looked down on by men. In this post, I want to talk about how women are shown in visual media, like TV and movies. As a media student, I will use the "Male Gaze Theory." This idea was introduced by feminist film expert Laura Mulvey. It says that women are shown mostly to please men’s eyes—they are objectified and sexualized, instead of being shown as full and complex people.

The Failures of Grand Ideas: A Lesson from Bouvard et Pécuchet by Gustave Flaubert

An Inspiring Insight from Atomic Habits: A Lesson Worth Sharing

Image
I came across this powerful lesson in Atomic Habits by James Clear, and I found it deeply thought-provoking. Here it is, word-for-word, as it appears in the book, so you can experience it just as I did. The Man Who Didn't Look Right THE PSYCHOLOGIST GARY Klein once told me a story about a woman who the attended a family gathering. She had spent years working as a paramedic and, upon arriving at the event, took one look at her father your in-law and got very concerned.  "I don't like the way you look," she said. Her father-in-law, who was feeling perfectly fine, jokingly replied, op "Well, I don't like your looks, either." " No," she insisted. "You need to go to the hospital now." A few hours later, the man was undergoing lifesaving surgery after an examination had revealed that he had a blockage to a major artery and was at immediate risk of a heart attack. Without his daughter-in- law's intuition, he could have died. What did the...
