Many young women would actuallly believe in those

    Michel is exemplary of a character that is misogynistic, ignorant and insecure. This is illustrated through the film’s opening sequence. For instance, after hotwiring the engine of the car, we see Michel refusing to ride along with his female accomplice, he then comments on two women hitchhikers as “being ugly,” and finally he refers to a female driver as “cowardice”, while simultaneously proclaiming women as being incompetent at driving. All of these instances exemplify Michel’s anxiousness in the rise of women’s independence in society. This is illustrated through the characterization of Michael.

    The themes of masculinity and American ideals heavily influence this film. Men are presented to be powerful in this film, and that power derives from the fact that they carry guns and commit acts of violence. In the film, almost all of the males have either a pistol or a shotgun. This depiction is inaccurate, as most people in the west didn’t own a firearm. In contrast, women in the film are portrayed to be the weaker gender, being present only to take care of their partner.

    This movie shows stereotypical blonde girls, through the eyes of Elle, and this is unhealthy since people in reality also assume these characteristics to be true of every blonde girl they see. People fail to see individuality because of these stereotypes. After all, no matter what happens, people will always assume blonde girl to be dumb. Another example of stereotypes perpetuated through the movie is how the men in the movie “Legally Blonde” are portrayed as stereotypical males. In fact, there is one scene in the movie where the admission counselors of Harvard, accept Elle through her video application mostly because of her looks.

    Conformity is present in every group situation with adolescents. Adolescents are always looking to be a part of a group, usually conforming to the standards of the group. Adolescents often conform because they want to have the approval of the peers that are well liked or “popular”. A great example of adolescents and conformity is in the chick flick ‘Mean Girls’ through the different cliques in high school and how it affects the peers themselves. Caty, the main character, is faced with several difficult situations where she decides to conform with her high school peers getting her in trouble that becomes hard for her to escape.

    It showed that gender should not be an obstacle when it comes to reaching your dreams. Your gender or race can not stop you from accomplish your goals, and with determination anything is possible. This movie gave an overall accurate depiction of society and how it socialized to us to accept norms that we may not agree with but are socially acceptable to other around us. By having a female character who overcomes difficulties, it teaches young children to challenge the norms of society and question the labels other place on them or others. I enjoyed watching this movie and would recommend parents show this movie to their children, so that they may feel empowered and

These moments also show exploitation and opportunity hoarding. The Help also explains historical context of the inequality that occurred during that time period.
