  1. You did a great job on your presentation! It is true that genders do see certain things in life that are important to them when looking at them and each other. Look at how American culture values this in marriage or trying to find a mate because I feel that is why many people are changing and how they are just looking how they look and not what type of person they are.(Who knows that person you are dating could be a bad one and not the right one for you). Maybe if you look at that you will be good!!

  2. I agree to Wesley. Generally, in American culture, people would like to dress themselves up according to what they think others people value. So I think you can stress how people change themselves depending on others' preferences in your research.

  3. This is an interesting topic talking not only about media but genders' perspectives divergence. I somewhat want to read your paper now as it calls for exceptional secondary sources and your own argument combined, which is not as directive as other papers'thesis statement.

  4. I think you can find a lot of good info on gender equality or inequality. I'm a little confused on the exact point behind the thesis. What exactly are you trying to persuade? There is definietly certain stereotypes around each sex that you could pursue. Where do you want to take that though?

  5. I think that you have a very interesting topic. Gender roles in America have changed and this goes for the way that gender roles effect what jobs are respectible for each gender. I think you can find some information on for your thesis.

  6. Looking at the different stereotypical roles for males and females would help with your research. How have people changed the way they look and act throughout the past? You can also look at the stereotypes from the past to today to see how they changed and why. I hope this helps with your paper.

  7. For your paper, I think it may be helpful to throw in specific examples you have found from researching. Has the media always mirrored what American culture values or is this something new? What does the media show about women vs. men?

  8. Good job in exploring the culture's perspective on gender roles. The gender roles changed with time.You could explore how the commercial has reflect the changes of the gender role.

  9. Have the characteristics that american society looks for in the genders changed over time? For your paper, one thing you could look at is how the way gender roles have changed over time effects what american society sees in the gender. I think looking at a point like this and adding in more information on gender roles will strengthen the evidence you have for your argument.

  10. Great presentation. For your paper, you can find some feminist paper as your secondary resource.
