Gender & Media Blog Project *
Students create their own digital website to discuss and analyze their weekly interactions with media content: their media consumption patterns.
e.g., what media they consume, what media content they explore that they would not normally consume, what they notice and how they can tie what they notice back to class lectures, discussions, etc.

We've been discussing the evolution of American masculinity and using John Wayne's image as a reference point. With that information in hand, I want you to see out at least one example of a modern version of the John Wayne "passionate manhood" image from a TV show or a film. First, describe the show and character in question so that I can get a good mental picture of your choice; then, explain why the character in question fits the mold of the John Wayne type.
