...and it's because of this unique culture that I have been interested in examining the portrayal of gender roles during the most watched televised season of the year.
Mission:
My mission was to carefully deconstruct gender roles as portrayed in commercialized advertisement during professional football games.
Thesis:
Although modern society likes to deconstruct stereotypical gender roles, televised commercials during professional football games are founded on the classical roles of men and women; a dominant male and a subordinate female.
I chose this topic because of the fact that I enjoy watching professional football. I also wanted to examine the question: "Why is it that while most television advertisements are ignored, the commercials aired during professional football (especially the Superbowl) are often watched intently?"
My research methods included collecting information not only through watching advertisements, but also through various internet sources that would help me to prove my thesis.
