Critical investigation feedback 01/11/17

  •   I may have missed something here but it looks like you are a long way behind in terms of your project proposal and research. Your proposal is still unfinished – including your research plan. This research plan is crucial to laying the foundations for an excellent notes and quotes document – it needs to be done!
  • One frustration here – but it’s actually a major positive – is that you haven’t used any of your summer project research to start off your N&Q document. Your summer research was exceptionally good and also had the huge benefit of already being in the format I wanted for N&Q (clip or article followed by your own notes/thoughts linking it to your issue). I would spend some time moving over relevant research from the summer and this will give you a huge boost in reaching the initial 2,000 word deadline.

Criticial Investigation Draft 1

“They should have never given us uniforms if they didn’t want us to be an army.” - The Handmaid's Tale [1] To what extent do media products such as "The Handmaid's Tale" reflect modern feminism today? In today's society, the word feminism has lost its meaning. By definition, feminism is the equality between both sexes which has yet not been achieved fully in the world. The feminist movement arguably started with the Suffragettes who fought for women to have the right to vote, which they succeeded to do in 1918. Since then, the concept of feminism has continued to grow yet uses of “popular feminism” [2] has resulted in people avoiding its actual purpose and viewing feminism as inadequate. Despite, the gradual change that we have had in the last 20 years, most media products still offer too many objectified or sexualised gender stereotypes which influence the mentality of our society.
