Blog Rationale

I would like for my blog to focus over the many topics of popular culture and how most is targeted towards men and how women are seen in a negative or a not so positive light. I am also interested in how gender roles are enforced in popular culture and how somethings that are seen in real life are hardly seen in television or other medias (such as interracial relationships or dating).

I would like to focus on different aspects of popular culture such as movies, magazines, television, video games, music, music videos, photography, commercials, sports, celebrities, billboards,fashion, magazine ads, etc. I would also like to focus on the impact (either intentional or unintentional) that pop culture has on little girls, teenage girls, young women and women in the later stages of their lives.

Plenty of research has been done over how media (mainly television) has not only affected American girls, but also girls from many different cultures. Within a few years of being introduced to television, teenage girls in a certain cultured had quickly developed eating disorders and distorted body images. So there seems to be a trend across cultures when it comes to how the media affects not only young women but younger developing girls.

I would like to bring little known things into light and make others aware of things they may not easily notice.
