I chose to focus my experiment on how sexism occurs in family
life over the past 50 years, by watching various episodes of
television shows listed in my previous posts. Not only did I notice how the
term "family" has evolved over time, but how those within a family
respect one and other. To my advantage, I even watched some episodes that
focused on sexism occurring outside of the family. Those episodes
were really instrumental because they exemplified how a
family could be so hypocritical in a sexist situation. In other words, these
episodes showed how a parent could teach their child that it is not good to
tease or base their decisions on someone else because of their gender. Their
teachings, however, disregarded how members of that family played specific
roles within the home and how they were viewed by others in that family. I do
not want to go into too much detail about my results because I am very excited
to present my information to the rest of the class next week! I hope my other
classmates can find my results to be as exciting and interesting as I did!
