The 10 Golden Rules of Superhero Movies - 4 views

    I think that this is easily an example of cultivation theory because it fits with the idea that the more that society spends living in the television world, the more that they try to relate to it. I think that the more that you watch superhero movies, you get this idea in your idea that they have to play out a certain way, and if they were to go against these "golden rules" would the movie still be successful?

Boys and Masculinity--Are Superheroes A Good or Bad Influence? - The Achilles Effect - 6 views

  •  
    I really liked this article because this issue is a hot topic in the media today. Whether boys should play with dolls and girls be policemen-- I think this article says it perfectly when we assume boys should like superheroes and want to be masculine like they are. I also agree that parents should talk with their kids about the different stereotyping but allow them to make their own choice.

    This article is fitting with a key debate in today's society over the influences that children have within their lives. Boys should like blue, girls should like pink. It fit's into everyday life as women are portrayed through media as damsels in distress and that men are the knights in shining armour. Stereotyping is slowly becoming an issue that more and more parents are dealing with when bringing children up.
