Topic > The Feminist Movement - 1304

For many years the word “feminism” has developed many different meanings, and various people interpret this word in different ways. I interviewed five people close to me and wrote down their answers to the questions: “What do you think feminism is?” and “Do you consider yourself a feminist?” There have been many different answers to these questions. I interviewed my friend Jordan for the first time. He said he thinks feminism is about "masculine, power-crazy women who think they're better than men." She thinks she is a moderate feminist because she believes women should have rights; however, he is not a women's rights activist (Jacqueline, 2000). When I asked my mother what she thought feminism was, she replied, “Feminism is the promotion of women's rights.” She believes she is a moderate feminist like Jordan, and her reasons are similar to Jordan's. My friend Stephanie's definition of feminism was very similar to my mother's. However, she believes she is not a feminist because she "doesn't mind being the stereotypical woman". My roommate Hannah believes that feminism is the study of women and women's rights. She doesn't know if she is a feminist or not, however she knows that she loves being a woman and wants to be treated the same as men. However, she doesn't want to be a women's rights activist. Finally, my friend Mike thinks the same way as Jordan. She believes that feminists are “women angry at men”. She does not consider herself a feminist because she thinks women are treated equally today and should "stop complaining" (Mayne, 2000). I both agreed and disagreed with many of the answers given by my interviewees. I agree with the definition my mother, Hannah, and Stephanie gave regarding…middle of paper…mers. This common impression, affirmed by the logical foundations of cultivation theory, raises the question in this study when the association between the standards of the British female public and the image of princes in advertising is analysed.2.7 Social expectancy theoryThe theory of Social expectation starts from the theories of the British sociological group. This conceit is a study to describe how community perspectives are produced through women's images, roles, sanctions, and rankings in the media community. This theory aims that while images across media should or should not be reliable, viewers incorporate understanding of social perspective developing practices of expectations and social behavior (Burr, 2008). In this study, Social Expectations Theory develops the framework to demonstrate how women understand meaningful evaluations for other feminism.
