The purpose of the paper is to find and identify themes or messages in the movie that represent common values, morals, or stereotypes that exist in society and potentially contribute to inequality. For example, you may find that a certain movie contains common gender stereotypes about men and women (strength, helplessness, protector, savior versus being saved, etc.). You may also find that the same movie contains a theme about a certain value or moral that is widely accepted in the United States (patriotism, revenge, individualism, what love or marriage is supposed to look like, violence, etc). You will be writing about what you find. The following questions should help guide you and be addressed in your paper: 1. What are the SOCIOLOGICAL themes of the movie that you found? Make sure they relate to this class. 2. How are they sociologically significant (in other words, what impact do these ideas have on society)? 3. How often is the theme/s reinforced? Does it occur only briefly, or is present throughout the movie? 4. Do you personally see the theme/s as problematic? Why or why not? Example – if the movie shows depictions of women needing men to be rescued, do you think that is okay because women and men are different, or do you think it perpetuates gender stereotypes and contributes to the subordination of women in society? 5. Are there any themes that go against social convention? In other words, send a message that challenges dominant ideas and culture. Describe them. Grading Rubric 6.
