On the other hand, women are perceived as more sensitive and sociable than men. There is one significant region where gender stereotypes were presented, which is through the achievement performance…

Who doesn’t like a good movie? For many, it is the most joyous form of escapism. Viewers could break from their social and humanly limitations, and immerse themselves into the life and role of the star character; the hero or the heroine. One would find love, romance, innate super-powers, and finally, social acceptance (sometimes even reverence), all within the gratifying time frame of two hours.
