Ted Talk Men Vs Women

Decent Essays
We watched the short film from Ted Talk, which former President Carter Discussed that women being mistreated is the number one Human Right being abused. Carter's belief is true to me, I don’t see why men are more superior than women; growing up in a household with 4 sisters has influenced me that men and women are created equally. The thought of some men disempowering women to feel less superior cause me to feel shock and ashamed of being a male. So a part of Lead Program for the Teachers College brought me more awareness of diverse cultures and environments. With that being said, I look forward to seeing the difference of a culture background and react to it positively.

    Christopher Bell’s Ted Talk uses both real-world examples and numerical data to effectively argues that both male and female characters should be presented and marketed equally to both genders and that the public pedagogy negatively impacts children’s identities, although he effectively argues that genders should treated more equal he fails to justify if the companies are intentionally saying that the princesses are messes up the public pedagogy of the other princesses. A point Bell makes that supports the idea the companies intentionally saying that the princesses mess up the public pedagogy is that the Disney store would not put Princess Leia merchandise in their store. "’We have no intention of putting Princess Leia merchandise in the store.’"…

    In this week’s Ted Talk, Schulz focused on experiments that show the cognitive development of babies and how they learn so quickly. She also compared the concept of generalization to babies’ mechanisms of learning in the sense that they need to generalize once they learn a new object and its function. To demonstrate this, Schulz displayed videos in which she showed babies a box with blue and yellow balls. Then a graduate student would pull three of the blue balls out of the box and then squeeze them making them squeak. Then the babies were presented with the yellow balls and as expected, they squeezed the yellow balls and made them squeak as well.…

    Sexism has been a major factor in American history and still is today. Although women are treated more equally today than they did in the past, we can still see some differences in the way men and women are looked upon as. With studies further looking into sexism and the way men and women are treated can help us end this “war”, that is if it ever will end. If you look in John Updike’s short story A&P, you can understand how people can envision the story as a sexist writing. In paragraph 13 Lengel comes out and says “Girls, this isn’t the beach.”…

    1. Intersectional feminism is the overlapping of race, sexual orientation, etc along with gender. It is the understanding of how different circumstances that are a part of a person’s identity affect the oppression that each person faces. Intersectionality has become a part of the feminist movement because it is felt by many people that they are being treated differently even in their own sex. “A white woman is penalized by her gender but has the advantage of race.…

    "Once upon a time, it was a man’s world,” states David Brooks firmly. For centuries it has been understood that men rule over the more important dominant and power positions of the world. From great male pharaohs, to an increasingly systematic view of presidency, men have been able to manipulate genetic gender roles in order to instill the notion that it’s truly a world only able to stand with the leadership of men. However, contrary to the beliefs of the gender based roles of conduct in society, that represent males as supreme in intelligence and in physical dominance, we have evolved into an era where woman carry an equivalent and sometimes ever greater capacity to strive for success than ever before over men. To begin with, no longer…

    Growing up, I never felt segregated based on my gender. I was always treated the same and given the same options as the boys were. It wasn’t until later in high school and college where I started noticing gender differences within society. The “glass ceiling” was clearly evident in the business world, but I’m not fully exposed to that, being that I’m still in school. The history of gender inequality, on the other hand, was something I was completely unfamiliar with.…
