Nanhe munne bachchon ko na itna satao

Gussa hoke humse itna door nahi jao

Kaan pakate hain zarasa muskurao

Gussa thooko hume gale se lagao

Hasogi to tumhe ek tohfa milegaa

Tum jaisa kaun hume dooja milegaa

Acchi dadi pyaari dadi ab to maan jao

Galti phir se na karenge aur na rulao

Meetha khake thanda peeke zid bhool jao

Aaa rahi hain hasi ab naa chupaao

 In my opinion, the suffrage movement was symbolic of women's strength and determination, however, I feel it shouldn't have been necessary. When it is taken into consideration that it took around 80 years for the US to grant women the right to vote, I always ask "why?" Why did it take so long for a country to grant women the right to do something so simple as voting, when men have always had that privilege. Why are women considered inferior to men, why shouldn't they get the same rights as men when they are also humans?

What are 5 transitionals you will be using to compare and contrast from now on?

What are the most important points that one needs to keep in mind when researching for comparison and contrast?

Its important to also research about the inexplicit similarities and differences 

What is your personal opinion of the suffrage movement?

I think the suffrage movement was absolutely amazing because it happened during a very patriarchal and sexist time, so the fact that it was successful, demonstrates how powerful women really are. Additionally, the success of the suffrage movement brings us one step closer to equality.

I think in my country women typically are expected to get married and raise a family and I think that this is prominent in most of the region however in major cities this isnt as prominent anymore. 

 

 How do you think someone from 1952 would react to the episode from I Love Lucy? Modern Family? 

I think they would think the scene is funny as back then people would agree that men cant cook and only women can cook and do house work which is why back then this was thought of as comedy. 

 

 What can you conclude? 

These shows show how overtime gender stereotypes have become less prominent  yet they still exist in todays society in many rural areas and some urban areas. 

As a younger female in the 21st century, it is easy for me to view this clip with years of progression and society and in a manner with which I can fairly assess the clips, using historical movements that have changed my personal viewpoint. If someone from 1952 watched a clip from I Love Lucy, I can imagine they would find the show "relatable" or normal: a show that comedically represents what every day looked like. However, if someone from that time watched Modern Family, it isn't outlandish to assume that they would have a visceral or surprised reaction to women having power. Perhaps some women of that time would watch the show and feel proud to see how far women came, but it's understandable to conspire that a majority would feel a sense of shock to see a significant change in women's roles and decisions.

From these clips, it can be presumed that earlier shows tend to conform to societal norm and the patriarchy, while later and more recent shows challenge the patriarchy and bring up new ideas that conflict with said societal norms. But, to play the devil's advocate, these shows can be viewed in different lights so as to reflect varying takes on gender roles as a concept. The patriarchy suggests a society dominated by men. In the 1950's, having a female protagonist who voices the opinion of women in the country would've been seen as progressive at the time, when one acknowledges how time is relative and circumstantial. Similarly, having a modern female character say that she chose to settle down and quit her job after being pregnant, could be seen as something that feeds into the patriarchal views of women's role. However, the difference here is that this woman is choosing her fate, rather than having it societally imposed. In this sense, both shows dare to conform to and challenge the patriarchal system in their own ways.

 

An individuals personal history greatly affects their views on the world, and subsequently their thinking behind such events. It establishes a sense of personal bias, or reinforced prejudice that would color their opinions on a fresh matter; as their knowledge would stem from their past events. From such information, an individual from 1952 would consider the aforementioned events as normal; due to the events that took place at such a time. Moreover, as the 1950's acted as a subtle reference point for the establishment of stereotypical gender norms, the individual would feel accustomed to such treatment and/or representation.

 

 

The clips presented reference stereotypical gender norms in contrasting manners. In 'I love Lucy', the creators decide the reinforce such stereotypes by succumbing to a women's traditionally perceived house-based roles, whilst the men would wander out for work. On the other hand, 'Modern Family' opts to challenge the norms through surprise, as the audience views the events along with the children, who seem to be puzzled by past reality of their house-based mother engaging in work.

During my childhood I was raised by a very normal family by the standard in gender roles we have today

This means that I was raised by a housewife and a working father. This means I would react to these videos in an abnormal way as I feel like it should be the wife working. People from 1952 would feel very disgusted as these kinds of gender roles have been normalized for a while now. In I love lucy we can see that the wife is challenging the husband to see if he can manage being a house wife for a day. In modern family it’s the opposite the mother used to work until she became a housewife this makes the children confused as it’s usually the husband working.

I have experienced quite a few types of sexism, including benevolent sexism. Since age nine, I’ve become increasingly aware of sexism and my dislike towards the patriarchal system and ideologies has grown significantly as well. So when I watch the clip from I Love Lucy, I felt frustrated, but I also know that it isn’t entirely the men’s fault because their actions stem from the dichotomy in their head between what they think equality is and actual equality. And this dichotomy comes from the explicit and inexplicit gender stereotypes they’ve been exposed to their entire lives, which in turn affects them subconsciously. 

Someone from 1952 would react very normally and would think nothing of the episode from I Love Lucy because back in 1952, society was still very much patriarchal, but feminism started to emerge a bit. On the other hand, they would probably be surprised when they watch the episode from modern family because the mother stated that she had worked before she decided to raise a family. Additionally, they would be surprised because the mother was actually wearing clothes that would be classified as ‘not feminine’. In conclusion, society has progressed slightly when it comes to women being treated as equals as women in the workforce is normalized. However, there is still a very long way to go to achieve complete equality. 

How do these clips from TV shows from different time periods reinforce or challenge the patriarchal system? Explain your answer. 

Both clips challenge and reinforce the patriarchal system. Lucy from I Love Lucy actually challenges the patriarchy in the clip as she asks for equality, however it is once again reinforced subconsciously when there is benevolent sexism coming from Ricky. In the Modern Family clip, the patriarchy is challenged when the mother reveals that she actually worked before she started raising a family because in a patriarchal system, women are supposed to be housewives while men are the providers of the family. When the dad says that the mom works for them, it reinforces the idea that women are housewives and their duties are cooking, cleaning, looking after the kids, etc.

I think that these clips were made for the comedy of the people back then, especially in the clips of "I love lucy" they've used stereotypes that men shouldn't be able to cook and they should work instead, and that the ladies should always be stay at home wife's who cook and clean.  if someone from 1952 would've reacted to this they would find this hilarious.
