Pakistan's 'Wonder Woman'

For those who have been going through the gender lesson with me, this article will come across as quite interesting...
Note:
-the use of media to change perception by glorifying the female in a new role....erode traditional stereotype?
-the media's function of creating awareness and as a means of fighting for the rights of the oppressed and marginalised
-the function/effect of cartoons/movies/TV programmes -- often a vehicle for messages instead of just entertainment
-the double edged sword regarding media -- it can both reinforce acceptance of traditional norms by making it 'cool', or challenge/debunk it by introducing something new(often opposing) as 'cool'

Sample Qn:
To what extent is our perception of reality influenced by the media?

Article 1a



Article 1b
