Film 1070 at Salt Lake Community College is a class that focuses on understanding diversity within the human race through film.
As part of our course curriculum we were assigned to write an MLA format paper about a film topic. To do this we first had to choose a film we’ve seen in class and explore a topic it covers.
I chose to write about the film “Miss Representation,” a film that explores gender equality and sexism in America. The filmmakers make a particular effort to villainize America’s media companies, arguing their portrayal of women is grossly limited and sexualized. I agree with this idea, however I do not agree with the idea that the differences between men and women should be comprehensively equated.
Before you go accusing me of chauvinistic androcentrism, please, read my essay and then let me know what you think. You may find it at the link below.
