    On the other hand, the distributed self would suggest that how people experience the world and make sense of it is primarily a result of socio-cultural processes, which varies over time and space. Constructionists conceptualize depression as an identity continually renegotiated via linguistic exchange and social performance. They would argue that the biological attitude excludes the social and linguistic dimensions of experience from consideration; social constructionist perspective is essential to understand how subjectivity and meaning are constructed in language and social interaction. For example I will briefly discuss the argument of gender differences in depression and how social constructionists consider that through looking at the ‘material discursive’ practices it is the pressures of society, which causes depression. They argue that a certain pressure is thrust upon women to be doing activities that fits the ideology of being a ‘good woman’ this can exhaust the woman’s body therefore causing depression.…

    Women and men have always been depicted differently throughout the years, it seems certain stereotypes of femininity and masculinity will always play an underlying role in why advertisements for gender-specific products are displayed and targeted towards viewers the way that they are. This is particularly true when looking at magazines. Society is constantly being reminded of the fact that the images shown to them in magazines are being altered and enhanced in order to highlight natural qualities of both the male and female genders. Women are made to look thinner in some areas while curvier in other areas, and men are made to look bulkier and more muscular in comparison to the women. But besides the obvious physical changes that magazine editors make to pictures in their…

    Imagine the role of a woman in the early 1800s, waking up and right from the “get-go” feeding and clothing children while trying to keep them in line all day. The latter half of the day spent cleaning the house and cooking a meal in preparation for the husband to return. During the early years of the 19th century women were expected to be proper and hold themselves with respect. They were not encouraged to pursue an education, their only role was to “play house” and be a mother, Margaret Sanger wrote evidence of this prejudice, “Woman’s role has been that of an incubator and little more.”…

    While looking though the Men and Women Health magazines, there were two of the same ads that were both selling Vitafusion™ vitamins. The Women’s Health magazine showed an image of a woman doing yoga at an exotic setting with a blown up image of a Vitafusion™ bottle right beside her and the Men’s Health magazine showed an image of a man biking on a dangerous mountain with an image of a small Vitafusion™ bottle shown in front of him. After looking at both advertisements, it is clear that when trying to appeal to adult women and men who are wanting to live healthier lifestyles, we should pay attention to the fact that the advertisers highlight the values of men being strong and adventurous while women are made to be slim, calm, and often have…
