Women Representation in politics and business

In the United States, women in political and business positions are present, but rare. This is especially the case the higher up the ladder the position is. Popular culture and media plays a strong role in this demographic as it may send the message to women that they are not fit to be in a position of power. Because women are not “fit” to be in the workplace, women are often pressured to be qualified exceptionally so that they would be taken seriously. Women may feel that they have to excel in many aspects of their field just so that they are not looked down upon by men.

    1. To support your claim you can use a wide variety of media. It could be very interesting to see how women are represented in television and movies and the roles they perform in them.

    2. What is the specific popular culture item the author is writing about?

    None yet.

    3. What is the main idea of the post?

    Popular culture has a huge influence on the way people see the world. Women have been portrayed in pop culture as incapable of doing jobs men are generally related to. There is a huge pressure on women to prove themselves successful in the working environment.

    4. Does the author offer support for her/his main idea? How could they be more convincing?

    The author has some interesting opinions and views, but I think that he should show some media examples that help support his claims.

    5. Has the author included visual elements? If so, are they effective? If not, where should they be placed?

    There are currently no visual elements and that is something he should add in order to be more convincing and make the article more appealing.

    No support for main idea yet, the pop culture example will help.
