Media, gender roles and sexuality

The media contributes towards many attitudes and values when we look at and discuss gender roles and sexuality. From confirming gender stereotypes and roles to subconsciously relaying messages about sexuality through the portrayal of men and the "womaniser" behaviours associated. Use the Google Doc resource below to build your ideas about the impact that media has on gender roles and sexuality to develop a critical thinking approach.

Consider strategies that reflect things that the person can complete themselves. For example: Learning personal skills such as assertiveness, decision making, problem solving or conflict resolution skills

Interpersonal

Consider strategies that involve another person or persons. For example: Using problem solving, conflict resolution and shared decision-making processes in relationships with other people.
