Solution
The film industry specifically creates and markets films towards the female demographic. Many
of these
Films represent in the workplace but the question is whether or not these accurately reflect the
roles
2. and experience of working woman. First explore the history of women in workplace over the last
one
hundred years. Second, review the role women play on film by discussing the political and
cultural ideas
of representation. And the third review three films that embody the definition of “chick flick”
and discuss in relation
to the history of working women and theories of representation.
Based on my analysis, contemporary films aimed at women reflect the role of women in the
workplace. The films
reproduce current gender discourses but they also include elements of resistance. The films are
still steeped in the
dominant cinema and created through the lens of the male gaze but the characters can be
considered “unruly” and
their desire to develop a career outside of the home begins to resist the current gender discourse
that indicates
women are better suited to the private sphere of domestic life.The workforce has changed quite
dramatically
in the last 100 years. Let us take a brief look at the history of working women to better
understand where we have
come from inorder to discuss where we are going. During the past century most women in
Canada performed
unpaid work in the home including being primarily responsible for domestic and childrearing
duties. This work,
along with the associated gender discourse, reinforced the stereotype that women are more suited
for the private
realm of the home compared to the public world of men and paid labour. In the early 1900’s,
women began entering
the workforce but only if they were not married, had no children or were past the“marriageable
age”. It was even
commonplace for companies to fire women as soon as they were married. This can be referred to
as the
marriage wall. The maternal wall that women are up against now, that is the discrimination of
women based on their
reproductive status, was preceded by the marriage wall. She indicates that a gender difference
myth still
exists today claiming that “...only mothers have the special innate abilities needed to promote
3. children’s healthy
development. This gender difference myth, or current gender discourse, characterizes women as
caring,loving,
gentle and good which links them to domestic, caregiver and volunteer duties. These duties are
unpaid which begs
the question: Is expecting financial compensation for your contribution to society only a male
trait?
Although emotional labour has always been an expectation of women, for example in
childrearing, elder care,
volunteerism, job postings are now formalizing these expectations. For example, employers are
requesting:
communication/soft and interpersonal skills, people workers, team players, relationship builders,
and customer
service providers. Emotional labour is present in many industries; but in particular,clerical or
sales and service,
which explains why approximately one quarter of jobs held by men compared to over half of all
jobs held by women,
involve emotional labour.
The characteristics of a leader com through in our day to day interactions with those around us.
Leaders come in
all shapes, styles, and forms. If you stop to think about some of the leaders that have inspired you
or even some
that have infuriated you, the qualities of good leadership skills will become apparent. r
When we think about the characterstics of a leader . we often think of leaders that are dynamic,
which calls each
of us to act or to follow. We could take an example, such as Hitler. He did not have the values
that we should
follow, but had that inspiration that could ignite a country. If we also stop to think about the
leaders today in the
US, we do not get the same vision of a leader that has a dynamism that is hard to resist, but
rather a leader that
has that ‘good to great’ quality. Often times these leaders are more quiet and reserved,
embodying the vision
of good leadership skills and calling each of us to action in a subtle way that can often times
leave us asking why
we’re buying what they’re selling. The answer is a simple. The characteristics of a leader are not
4. skills or behaviors
that will be new to those that strive to master them, but will often times be the actions we all
know we should be
focused on, if we only had the time. Yes, developing good leadership skills take time, just like
perfecting an idea or
delivering on a project. Without an investment of time, very few people will have the skills to
become the great
leaders they envision. Let’s examine some if these traits in more depth. Don’t be surprised if
you don’t find the
complexity you were expecting as leadership is often promoted as that advanced skill few can
attain.
Although researchers have directed considerable debate towards the nature/nurture question,
certain
differences in biological sex are well defined and accepted as factual. How these differences
influence
perception,interaction,and ultimately leadership styles Is an interesting area of study and
somewhat more difficult to
define. A review of such differences serves as a starting point in the study of gender differences
in behavior and
leadership and why woman may offer unique strength essential to strength growth and operation
in an organization.
Leadership is one of the most studied aspects of group communication. Scholars in business,
communication,
psychology, and many other fields have written extensively about the qualities of leaders,
theories of leadership,
and how to build leadership skills. It’s important to point out that although a group may have
only one official leader,
other group members play important leadership roles. Making this distinction also helps us
differentiate between
leaders and leadership. The leader is a group role that is associated with a high-status position
and may be
formally or informally recognized by group members. Leadership is a complex of beliefs,
communication patterns,
and behaviors that influence the functioning of a group and move a group toward the completion
of its task. A
person in the role of leader may provide no or poor leadership. Likewise, a person who is not
5. recognized as a
“leader” in title can provide excellent leadership. In the remainder of this section, we will discuss
some approaches
to the study of leadership, leadership styles, and leadership and group dynamics.
