Framework how sound represents the social class

Framework how sound represents the social class- gender- how they are represented form this and how this challenges or reinforces there genders on society. From the series ‘the street’

Step one feminine- women character is represented as feminine uses quiet, soothing sounds- to infer her motherly side. Stereotypical for a female to be motherly as a mother is represented as the one who looks after children. Typical motherly role.

Masculine- shouting- shows aggressions and power installing authority into the male. Stereotypical representation for the male is to be dominant which is apparent in this character. As he raises his voice to be seen as intimidating and in control.

Feminine- represented as being a sexual object to males- content to wanting ot please the male gender. Through when eating the food’ the slurping noises’ hint the suggestion of sexual frustration which is foreshadowed when she has the affair with the other man. Represents women as specially being a sexual object to men.  Also highlights women to being disposables the man had cheated on his wife.

 

Step two- power- man and women both dominant as shouting which exerts power and authority.  however they both have moments when both genders are singularly most dominant. For example-  noise of dishwasher water spraying everywhere is loud, piercing  and aggressive- stereotypical characteristics of a masculine persona therefore this noise is masculine. Subsequently, this masculine sound is dominant amongst any other sounds, which impersonates the male character as the woman cannot deal with the noise as stereotypically symbolizes as weaker and unaware about technology. However,  technology is within a mans territory of knowledge, therefore the man inverts authority and takes on the task of diminishing the sound, implying that the male character has the dominating role.

Step 3- man acting in a way that is socially excepted for example is shouting, raising his voice exerting an aggressive typical dominant male. Trying to exert authority to show he is in charge of the argument and his points are significant, he raises his voice as he wants to be heard and listened too, this makes him look normal as males are represented frequently as being dominant and in charge.

Step 4- This reinforces male stereotypes as he is reinforcing and idolising himself around a typical male persona so that no social pressures are inflicted onto him, must live up and act in a way that is socially accepted and expected.
