When we were watching the TV show in class, it made me start
to think what other TV shows I watch and what some characteristics they
present. This idea stayed in my head
until the end of class then I forgot about it.
That night, I started to watch House season 1 on Netflix. When I was two
episodes in, I started to notice some of the gender things we saw in "Work
It". The way House talks to Cutty and Cameron, the way he puts Foreman in
the standard African group. It showed
how we stereotype certain people in work settings and the way we acted and work
with them. I know that House is a very
extreme form of this but as we go into real life, could this be present more
often. I see in the job as a BPO
specialist. I see how more areas have
their houses foreclosed upon then others and hear stories how the former
homeowners act when they are evicted. In
House, these ideas do present themselves throughout the whole series because the
storylines every week and house self-medicates himself into almost oblivion. It makes me believe that even when we are
trying not to put people into these groups they still will come up because what
we view every day and how people act around us.
