This paper goes over the main issues surrounding the familial unit. It reviews how gender roles have changed and the effects that has had on the family and society as well such as women heading households, men staying home with family, and women being more involved within the world. It also reviews how stereotypes play a part on gender roles within the 21^st century. It shows how the changes are different than a century ago and what could be behind these changes such as society, the media, and culture. I don’t think I plan on using this source anymore due to the study only covering Latin America.

Cuklanz, Lisa M. "Mass Media Representation Gendered Violence." The Routledge Companion to Media

& Gender (2011): n. pag. Udel.edu. University of North Carolina. Web. 13 Oct. 2015.

This chapter in this book is about how the media portrays men and women in high stress, usually violent situations. It explains the way men are usually the violent ones, causing drama and harm and/or they are the heroes, saving the day in the most masculine way possible. On the other hand, this chapter explains that women are usually portrayed as weaker and always in need of help or saving, they are almost always the victim. The media is not only aware of this portrayal, but continues to include this outdated stereotype. I plan on using this source as a way to demonstrate specific examples of shows, movies, and films that have this strict gender cast.

Jones, Amy H. "Visual and Verbal Gender Cues In the Televised Coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics."

The Social Science Collection 6.2 (2010): 199-216. Academic Search Premier. Web. 6 Oct. 2015

This is a study that analyzes the visual and social cues within sports and the media. It explains how the sex of commentator, angle of the camera, wardrobe of the athletes, words and phrases used in speaking, etc., are all used to subliminally create a biased for or against a specific sex within the sport. I want to use this source to show the techniques that the media may use to create and enforce gender roles.

Mayeno, Laurin. “My Son Was a Princess for Halloween, and I Became a Better Parent.” Huffington

Post News. Huffington Post News, 30 September 2015. Web. 13 Oct. 2015

This is an article that is about a mothers’ struggle with her child not following the social norms of what boys are supposed to like. Her boy preferred to play with dolls and dress up verses going outside and playing in the dirt. After asking her son what he wanted to be for Halloween and he answered a princess without hesitation, the struggle for her became even worse. I want to use this source because it shows, on a personal and ordinary level, that gender roles are hard to break out of fear is social criticism and what is expected of them. Although this doesn’t follow my media is the cause- it does show on a social level that gender norms are all around hard to break and the messaging from the media doesn’t help.
