Advertisements and Gender

There are lots of example about the role of the women in society.Basically the starting point is advertetisement of toys. We saw in class today there are some fundamental differences among these ads.

Firstly the commenters are in the gender discrimination for boys' toys commenters are male and they comment the toy like a football match commenter or like a commenter who comments an action films trailer. These advertisements highly includes violence. On the other hand in girls' toys advertisements the commenters are of course female and they are extremely carresive and, i think this point is more important they encourage girls for becoming mother. This is a huge problem because new generations toys are not based on science or does not develop intellegence of children.

Secondly approximately every advertisement use advertently or inadvertently the gender discrimination. To illustrate a basic car advertisement has the same theme. A man drives his car and tries to meet girls thorough features of his car. However advertesiments are definetly blameless because woman is a sexual object in society and advertisements have to give whatever society wants.

Gender Discrimination has been a common problem until the time, when human beings were existed. Looks like it will continue for several years too.

Why People Always Miss The Past?

Almost in ewerywhere we always hear same reprimand.If they are elderly, they miss their childhood, youthood and middle ages. If the people are in their middle ages , they also like to talk about their childhood too.

    For our the best example is the problem of TV, just think on it, the time when TV has started to be widespread the eldely people argued and supported the old radio progmmes (pre tv times) ( Mittel p.12) . It was not just consisting of TV, old fests, old comunications, old respects, old relationship.  They thought this TV was decreased the relationship and comunication between people. Were they right? Well it looks like correct. This is still exist even for us ( teenagers). Like the difference between our day's cartoon and today's cartoon. When we watch agin Loney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and others and in our siblings or cousins. It does not make any sense and make us think about our childhood.


What will be in the future what will we miss and tell our grandchildren. There will be many many things but firstly the first TV times will be there. We will just say there was a TV in our home and after the dinner all family watched the same programme with pop corn , sun flower and definetly one teapot. We will say when Turkey had a match all family watched it together in company with prays. However when China had entered the technology TVs were became cheaper and a home started to have more than two TVs. Owing to the fact that asociabilty and miscomunications were started.

 It is a specific but real example and definetly true it always happen like that and there is a great Idiom which supported If everything in everytime looks like become worse, definetly it is okay.

Does the reality tv suck or rock?

   In today's world TV is the most unseperable part of our life. Myraids of Films, Tv series, Quiz Shows, Sport Programmes and Reality TV.Reality shows are a big deal for every society. People always said: "They have never watched these kind of shows but all of them know something about them and have an idea about these shows.

    Someone belive it really sucks like Salman Rushdie and he wrote an essay and showed weaknesses of reality tv. His sorrow was less quality on these shows. Despite his complaints, in his essay gave much information about reality tv. Actually it is a satirizing he has never missed out, this shows surrounded everywhere such as news, talk shows, Tv series. He thought this concern is being occured because in new world being famous and rich are the most important ideology. Hence these shows might furnish these quality easliy.
    On the other face of coin James Poniewozik thinks reality tv is beneficial for society, because it is based on human stories and personal relationships. ORdinary people can get rid of monotonous system and they can see extreme situations in there they also can associate these situation with their life. On the other hand participants definetly discard monotonous life and have an achivement which are felt really special.

    Considering all things in an account it is still a conflict and the solution depend on which aspect are you looking.
