  • 1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study in Daily Life
    1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study In daily life, we are surrounded by evidence of the position and role of women in society. In general, woman‘s natural roles are still regarded as caretakers, caregivers, and house wives. They are expected to take off time from work and other activities to take care for their children and do house hold (Woods, 2001:55). In other words they do not have the similar accesses to men to participate in public life. In patriarchy, a social system positioning a man as a superior and a woman as inferior creates the pattern of sex role behavior which embedded deeply in the mind of both man and woman (Anderson, 1997:13). It means that the system of the culture and their dependent to men, positioning woman easily to be exploited. Feminism is a body of social theory and political movement primarily based on and motivated by the experiences of women. While generally providing a critique of social relations, many proponents of feminism also focus on analyzing gender inequality and the promotion of women's rights, interests, and issues. Feminist theory aims to understand the nature of gender inequality and focuses on gender politics, power relations and sexuality. Feminist political activism campaigns on issues such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, sexual harassment, discrimination and sexual 1 2 violence. Themes explored in feminism include discrimination, stereotyping, objectification, sexual objectification, oppression and patriarchy. While generally providing a critique of social relations, many proponents of feminism also focus on analyzing gender inequality and the promotion of women's rights, interests, and issues.

Rhodes Editorial Board: Kelly Basilio, Donna Campbell, Claire Perkins, Christopher Sharrett, and Yannis Tzioumakis ReFocus is a series of contemporary methodological and theoretical approaches to the interdisciplinary analyses and interpretations of neglected American directors, from the once-famous to the ignored, in direct relationship to American culture—its myths, values, and historical precepts. The series ignores no director who created a historical space—either in or out of the studio system—beginning from the origins of American cinema and up to the present. These directors produced film titles that appear in university film history and genre courses across international boundaries, and their work is often seen on television or available to download or purchase, but each suffers from a form of “canon envy”; directors such as these, among other important figures in the general history of American cinema, are underrepresent ed in the critical dialogue, yet each has created American narratives, works of film art, that warrant attention. ReFocus brings these American film directors to a new audience of scholars and general readers of both American and Film Studies. Titles in the series include: ReFocus: The Films of Preston Sturges Edited by Jeff Jaeckle and Sarah Kozloff ReFocus: The Films of Delmer Daves Edited by Matthew Carter and Andrew Nelson ReFocus: The Films of Amy Heckerling Edited by Frances Smith and Timothy Shary ReFocus: The Films of Budd Boetticher Edited by Gary D.

    IN LOVE IN A MOVIE: WOMEN AND CONTEMPORARY ROMANTIC COMEDY By ANDREA ROCHELLE MABRY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2004 Copyright 2004 by Andrea Rochelle Mabry For Olivia and Grace ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is very much a collaborative effort, and for its existence I am indebted to a great many people. I first wish to express my appreciation to the faculty of the University of Florida Department of English, particularly the members of my dissertation committee. Professor Maureen Turim, my advisor and dissertation director, has been an invaluable mentor, not only over the course of this project, but throughout my studies at Florida. Her guidance in the writing of this dissertation, from the original seed of an idea to the final reading, has been invaluable. I am also truly grateful to Professors Susan Hegeman, Roger Beebe, and Nora Alter for their enthusiasm, their advice, and their encouragement to take my work to new levels. My thanks also go out to my fellow graduate students in the Florida English Department for their friendship and their good humor. The camaraderie of other students helped lighten many a stressful day as I worked to complete this journey. Finally, my family—Mom, Dad, Linda, Christine, Tony, Olivia and Grace—have always provided me with love and support, not just as I wrote this dissertation, but all along the road I have taken to get to this point. For that they have my love and my thanks.

  • Struggle for Better Life in Wayne Wang's Maid In
    STRUGGLE FOR BETTER LIFE IN WAYNE WANG’S MAID IN MANHATTAN MOVIE: AN INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH RESEARCH PAPER Submitted as a Partial Fulfillment of Requirement for Bachelor Degree of Education in English Department by GALUH PURBOSANTI A320 050 059 SCHOOL OF TEACHER TRAINING & EDUCATION MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA 2010 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Life in simple condition always arises in people’s life. This condition occurs to show the human’s problem and every human being wants to get a better life in his or her future. In addition, it shows that people never feel satisfied with what they have got. Therefore, they will do anything to have something that will belong to them forever. It means by having such things, for example, an occupation, the society will give a high respect. In addition, the wage that they receive could make them richer than their previous condition. Then, to make their dream comes true they begin to arrange the better way to fulfill their wish. They do not care whether it is right or wrong. When someone has the goal to reach his obsession, he needs internal motivation in order to reach his dream. Sometimes, in reaching his dream, someone has weaknesses. In solving his weaknesses, he needs to be more aggressive in order to achieve the perfect life. This condition makes someone unconfident; therefore, he struggles to leave it through the hard efforts. For example, one who is not clever, and never gets a good mark tries to study hard until he gets the good mark.
