SCREEN SHOT DECONSTRUCTION

 In this this image, the gender is represented in a way to show how the men are more dominant than the women. This can be shown by the man in the centre, his position shows that he has authority,he is also in a suit which is another way to show his power, authority and professionalism. This suggests that he must be the main character. The women in this picture are portrayed as less important mainly because they are all lower than the men which could either suggest that they are of a lower class or that they are less important, both women have shirts on that are open and reveal assets that would lure men to look at them.

In this shot from the TV drama Happy Valley, we can see that there is only one gender that is being represented. A women is caring for another women which shows a caring, motherly nature. The facial expressions show that the women on the right is in pain and the women on the left is worried/concerned. No power/dominance is shown as they are both on an equal level in the shot.

SUMMARY OF MONDAYS LESSON

Summery of Mondays lesson

Sex refers to a person’s biological status and is typically categorized as male, female, or intersex (i.e., atypical combinations of features that usually distinguish male from female). There are a number of indicators of biological sex, including sex chromosomes, gonads, internal reproductive organs, and external genitalia.

Gender refers to the attitudes, feelings, and behaviors that a given culture associates with a person’s biological sex. Behaviour that is compatible with cultural expectations is referred to as gender-normative; behaviors that are viewed as incompatible with these expectations constitute gender non-conformity.

Gender identity refers to “one’s sense of oneself as male, female, or transgender” (American Psychological Association, 2006). When one’s gender identity and biological sex are not congruent, the individual may identify as transsexual or as another transgender category (cf. Gainor, 2000). 

Masculinity (also called boyhood, manliness or manhood) is a set of attributes, behaviors and roles generally associated with boys and men. It is a combination of socially-defined and biological factors, distinct from the definition of the male anatomical sex.
Femininity (also called feminity, girlishness, womanliness or womanhood) is a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles generally associated with girls and women. Femininity is often perceived as a social construct, which is made up of both socially defined and biologically created factors.
