One of our Social Studies terms that we have been discussing is thematic. February 7th was Guerilla Geography Day on twitter with the theme of gender representation. It is amazing how many things we turn a blind eye to everyday. We're very used to hearing about the "big bad media" and the evil magazine covers, but you don't have to look any further than your own street to find serious gender issues...
I could go on and on about this topic, but I think the most important things is to keep a critical eye. We should be aware of what is going on around us and not passively accept things at face value. Respect and value should be shown for all members of society, regardless of age, gender, race, or class.
