Welcome back! This is blog post #10 and #11. To composing this blog I have to watch these films Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In. Also I got idea what is theme of the films from these Miss Representation Discussion Guide, Miss Representation Script and The Mask You Live In Discussion Guide. After that I have to interpret by considering these questions: How does the argument in the film make you feel (impact on your being)? How does the argument in the film make you think (impact on your knowing)? How does the argument in the film make you want to make change (impact on your doing)?
Miss Representation First I like to share the theme of the film. The film themes was, the battle for women’s rights has been waging for centuries. Why is 21st century America not closer to equality? The media, a lack of role models, and women themselves are some of the factors keeping progress at bay. The media is the message and the messenger and, increasingly, a powerful one. --Mitchell “You can’t be what you can’t see.” Initially, I felt uncomfortable for way of representing american women by media. The media shows them down, making big distance between man and women. A women said, media delivering content that is shaping our society, shaping our politics, shaping our national discourse and most of all, they're shaping our children's brains and lives and emotions. Girls get the message from very early on that what's most important is how they look, that their value, their worth, depends on that. And boys get the message that this is what's important about girls. We get it from advertising, from films, from television shows, video games, everywhere we look. So, no matter what else a woman does, now matter what else her achievements, their value still depends on how they look. There is no appreciation for women intellectuals. It's all about the body, not about the brain. In the film most of the time has shared some successful women and their point of view. My knowing, media doing miss representation about their being, their ability, position, achievements and intellectuals etc. By the media's miss representation their going down also difficulties of equality. I have an argument for their indication, they're indicated women importance depends on their body or look also indicated sexual behaviors but I disagree with their statements because man has interest to women by naturally since the creation of the world. They think their existence behind the man. I think they're existence with man. The Mask You Live In First I like to share the theme of the film. The film themes was, what makes an innocent young boy turn into a violent, angry, emotionally troubled man? A barrage of stereotypes and aggressive masculine typecasting is damaging not only men, but society at large. "Be a Man is one of the most destructive phrases in this culture." In my being, during I'm watching the film made me think about our world. Also I had go back to childhood. My parents treat me 'masculine' in childhood. You are boy, you hove to go this way. You can play football, you can ride cycle, lav, lav lav. You are girl, you can't. In my knowing, By this films I have learned something different way. How parent's guide to their child perspective of their gender; e.g. do you want to be a flying monkey mama's boy snitch? or do you want to be a man? Now being a mama's girl or daddy's little girl, that's wonderful. Another one: A boy crying but mamma says football players don't cry. In my doing, when I will go parenthood, I will teach my child or others by considering these problems. I will give priority, what they want.

This blog post touches on some of the important themes in the films, namely how media stories impact how we view ourselves as well as how we view our positions in society. Would you be interested in writing a research project that explores how you might raise a future child within a new definition of masculinity?
