Abstract

This research paper will primarily focus on the treatment of women in movies as the focal source of media. Hollywood holds much power over public consumption of media; movies like any other media can influence public opinions. So, it begs the question if movies are still displaying an outdated, stereotyped, and inadequate representation of women, does it have a knock-on effect This research will explore this concept further by exploring via various medians of analysis with a combination of interview responses.
The author of this research is taking the stance that the media does have an impact on today's society. Engrained societal stereotypes may have a significant effect on the production of films, which in turn can have an impact on the target audience consuming the media. This will be discussed in depth throughout this research.
