The purpose of this blog is to have one cohesive summary of the findings of the CAS 100C Social Norms Investigation group. Here we will have video logs of experiments we carry out, summaries and comments we wish to make, examples from the media we've found of typical social norms (or of people breaking them), and anything else we find or do that might be relevant. Happy reading!

Gender Role Reversals Part 1
Here Ciara's music video " Like a Boy" which is one of three videos that either has a gender role reversal present in the lyrics or both the lyrics and video. In this case it is both present in the lyrics and the video. Its interesting to me how through the years these three female artists show that men almost come off like they are better than women and try to make us seem of lesser value. In Ciara's case she will not allow this and wants to show the men how it feels when someone takes advantage of them and doesn't stay a trusting and faithful partner.

I know you mean Beyonce as one of the others. Who's the third person you're talking about here?
ReplyDeleteDo you think these gender role reversals are effective?
