The Mask You Live In
Homework – watch the two film trailers above. Below is the start of an essay that a student wrote after considering the issues raised by the film about the representation of women. Consider the issues raised by ‘The Mask you live in’ and write the opening of an essay about the effects of representation on men.
Objectification of Women:
Every day, women around the world are objectified, treated as less of an equal, and denied the same opportunities as our fellow men.
Why? The media.
If the media is sending girls the message that women are objects and that is their primary being, girls will think that this is their path to power. Conversely, the more girls self-objectify the more likely they are to have lower confidence, lower ambition, lower cognitive functioning and lower grades.
