My Digital Story: Examining Gender Inequality In The Workplace

My digital story examined how female characters are portrayed in the media, but I also felt like it was important to bring it to a more real world stance. I conducted an interview with a women and asked her how she defined feminism, her experiences and opinons on occupational sexism.

I created the video through iMovie and found the images on the internet. I must say, it took a long time to create but I am happy with the results. In the future, I would like to add a movie clip to the video. In particular, I would want to find a clip from shows that portrays gender inequality in the workplace. What I had in mind was a clip from The Mary Tyler Moore Show; however I don't own this show on DVD.

12. Xtranormal Cartoon: Gender Inequality in the Workplace (AMC's Mad Men)

                         

For the Xtranormal assignment, I recreated a scene from the series Mad Men. I choose this scene which is from the episode, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes". I felt like it really captured what female gender roles were in the late 1950s. What is even more interesting about this scene is that the character Joan, is giving into sexism rather than a male.
