The #MeToo movement began in 2006 when Tarana Burke used the phrase "Me Too" to help victims of sexual abuse feel less alone. The movement spread widely in October 2017 when Alyssa Milano encouraged people to tweet #MeToo to demonstrate how common sexual assault and harassment are, especially in the workplace. Millions of people shared their stories publicly, including high-profile celebrities, which increased awareness of the prevalence of sexual misconduct. The movement has since encouraged public discussion and policy changes related to harassment and abuse in various industries like entertainment, politics, sports, and medicine.
The document summarizes the origins and impact of the #MeToo movement. It began in 2006 when Tarana Burke founded a non-profit to help survivors of sexual violence and named her movement "Me Too." In 2017, the movement grew significantly on Twitter in response to Alyssa Milano's tweet encouraging survivors to share experiences with the hashtag. This was triggered by Harvey Weinstein's exposure for frequent sexual harassment. The #MeToo movement in India was initially met with silence but eventually sparked allegations against producers, actors, editors and ministers in India as well once Tanushree Dutta accused an actor of harassment. Data suggests the movement has had a significant impact in addressing sexual harassment and empowering survivors to speak out.
Tanara Burke created the term "Me too" in 2006 through her grassroots campaign to bring awareness about sexual abuse and misconduct experienced by underprivileged women and girls of color. In 2017, actress Alyssa Milano helped relaunch the "Me too" movement on social media by encouraging victims of sexual assault to share their stories using the hashtag #MeToo on Twitter. Within 24 hours of Milano's tweet, the #MeToo phrase was used over 200,000 times on Twitter and in over 12 million Facebook posts. The "Me too" movement aims to give a voice to victims of sexual harassment and assault.
The #MeToo movement began in 2006 and spread on social media in 2017, encouraging victims of sexual harassment and assault to share their experiences. It gained prominence in India in 2018 as women in Bollywood, media, and politics accused high-profile men of misconduct. While bringing awareness, the movement also faces challenges like lack of verification and representing all of Indian society. Its impact includes consequences for perpetrators and empowering more victims to speak out.

Millions of people shared their stories publicly, including celebrities, which highlighted the prevalence of these issues in various industries like entertainment, media, politics, and more. The goals of the movement have expanded to include awareness, empathy, policy change, and legal reforms regarding sexual violence and harassment.
The #MeToo movement:
- Was founded in 2006 but gained widespread attention in 2017 due to Alyssa Milano encouraging victims of sexual harassment and assault to share their stories.
- Aims to demonstrate how widespread issues of sexual assault and harassment are, especially in the workplace.
- Rose to international prominence in response to allegations of sexual assault and harassment in Hollywood by producer Harvey Weinstein.
The #MeToo movement in India began in 2018 and saw many women speak out against sexual harassment and abuse on social media. This included several high-profile cases against actors, journalists, and politicians that helped catalyze the movement. However, the movement also faced challenges like false allegations, lack of strong laws, and issues becoming politicized. While it empowered some women to speak up, others faced retaliation. And in many cases the legal system failed to adequately pursue justice. Overall, the movement has brought awareness but real change will require ongoing efforts to address issues in society and the justice system.
Following the dozens of sexual assault accusations by Harvey Weinstein, the actress, activist, and producer Alyssa Milano tweeted a call Sunday (Oct. 15) to survivors to use the hashtag #MeToo after seeing a friend post the idea on Facebook. So far, the campaign has created a flood of response across social media, a powerful rallying cry for victims of harassment and sexual assault.
However, this campaign isn’t actually new.. It was created over 10 years ago, by activist Tarana Burke. She initially launched “Me Too” as a grassroots movement to provide “empowerment through empathy” to survivors of sexual abuse, assault, exploitation, and harassment in underprivileged communities who typically don’t have access to rape crisis centers or counselors.

This document discusses the history and different waves of feminism, from the first wave's focus on women's suffrage in the 19th-early 20th century to the third wave's addressing of global issues in the 1990s onwards. It then examines postmodern feminism, which accepts diversity and multiple truths rather than seeing an essential nature of women. Postmodern feminists believe empowering women's literature can change societal structures and thinking, and that creating a gender-neutral language is important. The use of patriarchal language is seen as inhibiting growth for women.
Feminist theory developed out of the feminist movement to achieve social, political, and economic equality between men and women. There are several branches of feminist theory, including liberal feminism which focuses on achieving equal rights and opportunities, Marxist feminism which views women's oppression as stemming from their roles in the family and economy under capitalism, and radical feminism which argues that patriarchy and male domination are the primary forms of oppression. Feminist theorists have developed new perspectives and methodologies to incorporate women's experiences and challenge the male bias in traditional sociological theories.
Social Media Activism (SMA) is the use of web-based platforms, applications and technologies to bring about political or social change and has the power to disseminate information rapidly and globally. It has played a central role in recent worldwide movements for change.
We discuss current trends and limitations, the main players and their changing market share, and innovations in the on-line activism arena.
Traditional players like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are now being challenged by new tools and activist specific spaces.
Security concerns have led to the creation of tools such as Pidder, Crabgrass and OTR.
SMA is not always a force for good. Users must be responsible, evaluate the veracity of information and understand the potential to propagate crime.
Ultimately, SMA can only be a part of the movement for change - it still needs brave people on the streets to challenge the status quo.
This document provides an overview of intersectionality. It defines intersectionality as a concept that describes how systems of oppression like racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia intersect and cannot be examined separately. The key aspects are:
- Intersectionality considers that people have multiple identity factors like gender, race, class etc. and examines how these intersect.
- It was coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw to argue that a straight white woman and a non-heterosexual Black woman cannot have their experiences compared and feminism must consider differences.
- Intersectionality calls for recognizing privilege and considering how to accommodate those without privilege for true equality.
The document discusses how media portrays gender through editing and modification of images. It creates unrealistic standards of beauty and gender norms that influence how people view themselves and others. Photoshop is often used to modify pictures of people in magazines. Lorde brought attention to this issue by posting unedited pictures of herself after a modified image surfaced. Media also teaches people about gender through representations in television and film, often portraying women as passive objects and positioning the audience perspective from a male gaze. It is important to view media critically rather than passively accept its messages.
There are gender differences in criminal offending rates, with males committing most crimes. Sociological theories seek to explain this difference. The functionalist sex role theory argues that females have a nurturing role that prevents crime. Control theory argues that greater societal control over females through domestic and public roles limits their opportunities and ability to offend. The patriarchal control thesis and gender deals theory build on this, suggesting controls in the home, public sphere, and workplace restrict females' activities and mobility. As females gain liberation from patriarchal constraints, the liberation thesis argues their crime rates may increase to match males.
This document is an essay analyzing the portrayal of women in mass media such as films, television, music videos, and advertising. It discusses how women have traditionally been portrayed in narrow gender roles and stereotypes, such as being thin, fragile, and focused on beauty and relationships. However, it notes that some recent portrayals in films like Frozen and music videos like "All About That Bass" show a move toward more empowering and diverse portrayals. The essay also examines how exposure to stereotypical portrayals can influence societal expectations of women. Overall, it argues that while some progress has been made, further work is still needed to eliminate harmful stereotypes and achieve accurate, non-stereotypical representation of women across all
Feminism aims to challenge patriarchal power structures and promote gender equality. It analyzes how media transmit cultural values and reinforce patriarchal ideology through gender stereotypes. Feminist media theory examines how media construct ideas of femininity and masculinity, and how the "male gaze" objectifies women for the male viewer. While early representations often reduced women to victims or sex objects, modern media have more empowering female characters, though some argue this is just new stereotypes. Feminism continues working for true equality in public and private spheres.
This document discusses George Gerbner's cultivation theory, which proposes that heavy television viewing can influence viewers' perceptions of social reality. It presents Gerbner's three-pronged research strategy of institutional process analysis, message system analysis, and cultivation analysis. Cultivation analysis examines whether heavy viewers are more likely to perceive social reality as reflected in common television messages and portrayals. The document also discusses key concepts like mainstreaming and reviews international studies and recent findings on how television viewing can cultivate beliefs around topics like crime, health, politics, and gender roles.
I was a white kid who grew up in the city. Rap music shaped how I thought. When I got into HR and Business I thought it was ironic how rap lyrics could parallel how I thought about leadership.

The document discusses media hegemony, where the ruling class uses mass media to exert control over society and spread their ideas. It notes that while there are thousands of media outlets, most are owned by only six major corporations. This concentration of ownership allows these corporations to set the agenda and control the narrative. The document warns that we must be careful of what we consume from media sources, as we are living in an age of ideological warfare through information. It suggests that until those outside the ruling class have a voice, the stories told through media will continue to glorify the hunter, not the lion.
The document discusses women's political participation in Bangladesh. It notes that while women make up half the population, their status is lower than men's in all aspects of life. It outlines Bangladesh's efforts to increase women's participation, including establishing a Ministry of Women's Affairs and reserving seats for women in local elections. However, it finds that women still face many obstacles to equal participation in politics and decision-making roles due to social, economic and ideological barriers.
The document summarizes Cultivation Theory, which was developed by Professor George Gerbner to analyze the long-term effects of television viewing. Some key points:
- Cultivation Theory predicts that heavy television viewing shapes peoples' perceptions of the real world by cultivating exaggerated beliefs, such as that the world is a more violent place.
- Studies found heavy viewers overestimated statistics like crime rates compared to light viewers. This supported the theory's key concept of a "Mean World Syndrome" from extensive television exposure.
- The theory was later modified to include the concepts of "Mainstreaming," where heavy viewing converges viewpoints across groups, and "Resonance," where effects are stronger for vulnerable populations.

This document discusses intersectional feminism and why it is important. Intersectional feminism acknowledges that feminism has historically excluded women of color and trans women. It recognizes that all forms of oppression are interconnected. The poem "All Oppression is Connected" illustrates that we cannot distance ourselves from each other's individual experiences with oppression. Therefore, intersectionality and inclusion are necessary for meaningful feminism. Advocating for intersectional feminism involves listening to marginalized groups, promoting body positivity, and using inclusive language.
Intersectionality refers to aspects of a person's identity such as race, gender, age, class, religion, sexuality, and national origin. These aspects can carry forms of privilege or oppression, and a person may experience multiple forms of oppression and privilege that intersect. The goal of intersectionality is to recognize similarities and differences in discrimination experiences across groups in order to build solidarity. It acknowledges all forms of oppression and helps people look past themselves to understand others' needs and concerns.
The document discusses gender roles and stereotypes in advertising. It notes that ads commonly portray women in subtle stereotypical ways, such as demonstrating products versus stating benefits, and with more passive body language. This reinforces stereotypes of women as unintelligent consumers, dependent on men, and focused on appearance. The impacts of these portrayals include influencing women's attitudes, lowering their self-confidence and career expectations, and fueling insecurities. The document recommends that advertisers consider different target markets like tweens, young women and older women, and market to them in more relatable ways without relying on gender stereotypes.
This document provides information about International Women's Day, including its history and purpose. It began in 1909 to honor the movement for women's rights and is now celebrated annually on March 8th. The document discusses how women are symbols of power and god's creation, but also face issues like lower pay and higher rates of violence worldwide. It concludes by saying the day aims to promote women's rights and empowerment across nations through supporting each other.
It is current prevailing situation in different places of Nepal. People have blind faith on this issue in present context of Nepal because of lack of understandings and education.
The spiral of silence theory describes how minority viewpoints disappear from public discourse. It posits that individuals decide whether to voice their opinions based on their perception of what the majority opinion is. The media plays a key role in shaping societal norms and determining what views are considered normal. As a result, people with minority views often remain silent for fear of isolation, allowing the majority viewpoint to reinforce itself in a spiral-like pattern. Critics argue the theory is too broad and that other factors beyond public opinion, such as religion and culture, also influence whether individuals publicly express their views.
The #MeToo movement began in 2006 as a way to help survivors of sexual violence share their stories of sexual harassment and assault. It gained widespread attention in 2017 with allegations against Harvey Weinstein. The movement aims to raise awareness of how common these issues are, demonstrate the need for cultural and policy changes, and empower survivors to speak out. It has increased awareness of harassment and assault, sparked legal reforms, and started a cultural shift around addressing these issues. While the movement has made progress, more still needs to be done to prevent harassment and abuse.
The #MeToo movement was revived on social media in response to sexual harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein. Actress Alyssa Milano encouraged women who had experienced sexual assault or harassment to tweet "Me Too", which sparked a huge response with over 40,000 tweets. The movement has since spread globally and prompted further discussions around workplace sexual harassment issues and the need for better legal protections and cultural changes.

The document outlines the #MeToo movement and discusses several related topics. It introduces sexual harassment and assault, then analyzes the disregard of such issues in the music industry. Another section critiques the #MeToo movement, arguing it has gone too far in some cases. The document also discusses Hollywood women working to fight harassment through new legislation. Overall, the #MeToo movement has given victims a voice to expose injustices in the workplace and push for meaningful change.
Tanara Burke created the term "Me too" in 2006 through her grassroots campaign to bring awareness about sexual abuse and misconduct experienced by underprivileged women and girls of color. The "Me too" movement spread virally in 2017 when actress Alyssa Milano encouraged victims of sexual assault and harassment to share their stories using the hashtag #MeToo on Twitter, which was used over 200,000 times that day and millions of times on other social media in the first 24 hours. The "Me too" movement aims to empower survivors and bring attention to the widespread prevalence of sexual abuse and harassment.

Social Movements, Media, & Entertainment’s Impact on Criminal JusticeDrDeAngeloBrown
This presentation focuses on the evolution of social media and how groups of people have used this platform to connect for a common causes that have real-life implications.
The document discusses the goals and mission of the organization End Misogyny (EOM) which aims to end misogynistic abuse online and highlight the prevalence of online misogyny. EOM bears witness to women's experiences of being targeted, reports threats and abusive behavior, and encourages women to speak out against abuse. The document also outlines a continuum of misogynistic abuse women face online, from subtweeting to doxxing and threats, and examines the impacts such abuse can have including fear, trauma, isolation and silencing.
The document discusses how social media has provided new spaces for victims of sexual violence and opponents of rape culture to share their stories and demand change. It analyzes comments on CNN Facebook posts and YouTube videos about high-profile rape cases that criticized the media coverage for perpetuating rape myths and sympathizing with the rapists. While some news coverage has improved by avoiding victim blaming, other stories still subtly spread myths. Further research is needed on who is using social media to counter rape myths in order to better understand their impact.
This document provides resources for teaching about sexual assault and harassment in mass communication courses. It outlines possible readings, assignments, and discussion topics for two course weeks. Week 1 focuses on case studies of harassment in journalism and advertising and understanding patterns in these industries. Assignments analyze recent news stories and discuss power dynamics. Week 2 explores statistics on harassment prevalence and resources for reporting sensitively on the issue. Assignments recommend training for organizations and evaluate news articles using reporting guidelines. The document also provides additional reference materials on researching and addressing workplace harassment.
The document discusses hate speech directed towards women online. It notes that while there is much information about sexism against women offline, there is limited scholarly research on online hate speech against women. The author conducted research on this topic as a minority who has faced negative online comments. Several theories are presented that may provide insight into why some spread hate speech online, such as implicit personality theory and ambivalent sexism theory. The document concludes by suggesting increased public education is needed to address this problem and reduce the negative effects of online hate speech against women.
The document discusses several hashtags that have trended in recent years related to social movements and campaigns:
- #BlackLivesMatter formed in 2013 in response to the shooting of Trayvon Martin and aims to address police brutality against African Americans.
- #Islamophobia criticizes poor media coverage that has contributed to increased stigma against Muslims. Reports of anti-Muslim crimes increased significantly after certain attacks.
- #MeToo was started in 2017 by Tarana Burke to empower women, especially young black women, to share experiences of sexual harassment and assault.
- In summary, social media can greatly impact campaign success by allowing worldwide discussion of important issues through trending hashtags on

Research Proposal: Sexism on Social Media
The research question that is driving my inquiry is why social media has a bias against
women. This is an important question because sexism has been a problem that has plagued
women all over the world for centuries and the emerging use of technology and social media
only allows more avenues for sexism. As technology has advanced and become part of our daily
lives so too has the use of social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit. In this day
and age social media has become a part of our culture, allowing us to connect and share our lives
with others. While this may seem very positive and beneficial, my research has shown that it also
creates new outlets for bias and harassment, largely against women, as degrading and sexist
posts, images, and comments can now be repeatedly sent to a single person or made public to
anyone that has a social media account.
Although social media is a newer addition to technology, there are arguments discussing
how social media both harms and helps women. Those such as Marwick, Buni and Chemaly, and
Daniels and Zurbriggen argue that social media does more harm as it facilitates violence,
harassment, and negative stereotypes against women. Many social media sites allow images
depicting violence against women and comments threatening women to circulate around their
site as well as permit pages dedicated to hating women to stay on the site. On top of that, many
social media sites reinforce female stereotypes by encouraging women to present themselves in a
certain light online. However, there are some, such as Chittal, who believe that social media can

help women. Chittal argues that social media gives women a voice and allows them to speak out
against violence and injustices in a more public setting.
While many argue that social media is very beneficial to women, especially in recent
years with the new wave of feminism, I argue that social media is still a place that fosters sexism
and encourages bias and violence against women. Recently, many women have recognized and
spoken out about this problem and are pushing social media companies to do something about
this issue, such as hiring more people to perform moderation on the sites or being more
transparent about what can be said online. I agree with their demands and believe that social
media companies should take responsibility for the harassment that occurs and create harsher
guidelines that define and regulate what can and cannot be said on their websites.
There are multiple counterarguments that I may encounter while conducting further
research. One is the argument that social media companies should not regulate the sexist
comments and posts because it would be a violation of that user’s freedom of speech. Another
argument is that social media c.
The document discusses domestic violence and abuse, providing definitions, statistics, theories, and history. It notes that domestic abuse can include physical, emotional, and psychological harm between intimate partners. Theories discussed potential causes like learned behavior from family or a cycle of violence and abuse. Statistics show women are most commonly victims but men can also be abused. Solutions discussed recognizing abusive relationships and seeking help.
This document discusses the persistence of rape culture in the 21st century. It argues that rape culture stems from societal views of masculinity that teach men to assert dominance over women, as well as from the normalization of sexual violence in schools, media, and on college campuses. The document provides statistics on sexual assault and examines how historical views of rape laws, portrayals of gender roles, sexual harassment in schools, and the exploitation of women in media and entertainment have collectively reinforced a culture where rape is tolerated and victims are not believed or supported.

Homosexuals have been a special group of interest since earlier years. This group of person has been raising special interest in the society across different religion, local, state and even at national as well as the globe. What can be remembered about homosexuals is that they are people who do not relate upright to normal intimate behaviors (Herek, 2002). There are two views of homosexuals, the old view and the modern view. The old view of homosexual holds that this group of persons is cursed and is not fit in the society (Moeller, 2010). The earlier view, which is roughly known to have existed before 1969, treated homosexuals in a discriminate manner. They were indeed taken to psychiatric hospitals for treatment in addition to being arrested and jailed. Social discrimination was rampant to this group and this was done even in the full knowledge of authorities. However, the modern view about homosexual is not really different from the earlier vies but homosexual can get human services, which were hardly possible in earlier years (Cocks, 2003). Today, homosexual are treated like normal people with no discrimination although they raise concerns in the society about how ethical they behavior is. Comment by Margo Farwell: The modern view isn’t different? It used to be viewed as a sin and many today view it as a lifestyle. This seems like a different view.
History behind homosexuals: Gay and Lesbian in the US
A. Homosexual before 1969
The history of homosexuals in the US is vividly remembered after the 1969 Stonewall Uprising. This uprising was an event that scholars use to capture real information about the history of gay and lesbian people in the U.S. While homosexual is said to have been around for long time, it has been having changes and event occurrences. Quality information about homosexual is recorded and reported after the Second World War (Moeller, 2010). After this event, the society settled down and begun self development. This development was key to having successful evaluation of the society and its people. Since the 1950s homosexual has been happening all over the U.S and probably in the whole world. States and local governments had known about the vice and most of them banned homosexuality and labeled it a crime. All states in the U.S. mentions homosexuality in their laws and did not allow (Brett, Wood, and Thomas, 2006). People who were found committing the vice were arrest.

abuse, particularly within underprivileged

extent of problems with sexual harassment and
assault by showing how many people have
experienced these events themselves
45. # Me Too
• After millions of people started using the phrase,

women worldwide.
• A 2017 poll by ABC News and The Washington Post
also found that 54% of American women report
receiving "unwanted and inappropriate" sexual
advances with 95% saying that such behavior usually
goes unpunished. Others state that #MeToo underscores
the need for men to intervene when they witness
demeaning behavior.
49. Awareness And Empathy
• Burke said that #MeToo declares sexual
violence sufferers are not alone and should not
be ashamed.
• Burke says sexual violence is usually caused by
someone the woman knows, so people should be
educated from a young age they have the right to
say no to sexual contact from any person, even
after repeat solicitations from an authority or
spouse, and to report predatory behavior
50. Awareness And Empathy

#MeToo as helping society understand the
"magnitude of the problem" and said, "it's
a standing in solidarity to all those who have
been hurt.“

require men to take a stand against behavior
that objectifies women

changes to laws and policies.
53. Policies And Laws
priority for #MeToo is
• Milano
changing
states a
the laws surrounding
harassment and assault, for
sexual
example,
instituting protocols that give sufferers in all
industries the ability to file complaints without
retaliation.
55. Policies And Laws
• Others have suggested that barriers to
employment must be removed, such as the job
requirement by some employers to sign non-
disclosure agreements or other agreements that
prevent an employee from talking about their
employment publicly, or taking disputes
(including sexual harassment claims) to
arbitration or legal proceedings. It's been
suggested that legislation should be passed that
bans these types of mandatory pre-employment
agreements
57. Media Coverage
• In the coverage of #MeToo, there has been
widespread discussion about the best way
for sufferers of sexual abuse or harassment
to stop what is happening to them at work.
• There is general agreement that a lack of
effective reporting options is a major factor
that drives unchecked sexual misconduct in the
workplace
58. Media Coverage
• There is a discussion on the best ways to handle
whisper networks, or private lists of "people to
avoid" that are shared unofficially in nearly every
major institution or industry where sexual
harassment is common due to power imbalances,
including government, media, news, and academia.
These lists have the stated purpose of warning other
workers in the industry and are shared from person-to-
person, on forums, in private social media groups, and
via spreadsheets. However, these lists can become
"weaponized" and used to spread unsubstantiated
gossip, which has been discussed widely in the media
60. Media Coverage
• Defenders say the lists provide a way to warn
other people in the industry if worried about
punishment, or if complaints have already
been ignored, and also helps victims identify
each other so they can speak out together.
61. Media Coverage
• In India, a student gave her friends a list
containing names of professors and academics
in the Indian university system to be avoided.
The list went viral after it was posted on social
media.
• In response to criticism in the media, the authors
defended themselves by saying they were only
trying to warn their friends, had confirmed every
case, and several victims from the list were poor
students who had already been punished or
ignored when trying to come forward.
63. Media Coverage
• Moira Donegan, a New York City-based journalist,
privately shared a crowd-sourced Shitty Media Men
list of people to avoid in publishing and journalism.
• When it was shared outside her private network,
Donegan lost her job. Donegan stated it was unfair so
few people had access to the list before it went public;
for example, very few women of color received access
(and therefore protection) from it. She pointed to her
"whiteness, health, education, and class" that allowed
her to take the risk of sharing the list and getting fired.

66. Issues With Social Norms
• Professor Daniel Drezner stated that #MeToo laid the
groundwork for two major cultural shifts. One is the
acceptance that sexual harassment (not just sexual
assault) is unacceptable in the workplace.
• The other is that when a powerful person is accused
of sexual harassment, the reaction should be a
presumption that the less powerful accuser is "likely
telling the truth, because the risks of going public
are great." However, he states society is struggling
with the speed at which change is being demanded.

68. Me Too Movement in India
• Following the global outrage over the Harvey
Weinstein incident in the West, where the
noted Hollywood producer was accused of
sexual harassment by over 70 women, the
#MeToo movement has finally arrived in India,
engulfing the whole media and entertainment
industry.
• Several women have bravely come out with
stories about harassment and sexual abuse at
workplace at the hands of the powerful and
higher-ups.
