This is my second Outline
This is an outline of “Reference 5: My Proposal for TV Ratings on Anti-Unity Values
(AUV) in Gender Behavior” by Makana Liwai
a) Dr. Leon James has proposed a model based on
Swedenborg’s writing to unify men and women or gender relationships.
b) There are three level in Unity Model
-
First, “sensory-motor”
(performances, behaviors, verbal, non-verbal communications in gender
relationships through sensations, perceptions, and motor acts.)
-
Second, “cognitive” (thinking
and reasoning we do in the relationships.)
-
Third, “affective” (feelings
and motivations in people’s relationships.)
c) Ideal model to improve men and women’s relationships!
Keys to understand gender differences.
a) AUV stands for
“Anti Unity Value”, which is any behaviors or gestures (verbal or physical)
that is detrimental toward unification. We are exposed to these types of
behaviors through media such as TV drama, movies, and ads.
b) Dr. James’s observation on Soap
Oprah called “One Life to Live” on Dec 2003.
-
Examples:
Living together unmarried, having children out of wedlock, making each other
jealous on purpose, adultery for various reasons, and much more.
d)
I totally
agree with Dr. James that today, there is a lot of wrong information is sent to
many people through the media especially through by the TV. Majority of the
households have TV(s), and people are exposed to stereo typed information all
the time.
a)
AUV can be
used as scale to determine to rate the TV program’s level of anti unity value.
b) The procedures are pretty simple. Pick
the TV show such as “Everybody loves Raymond”, and watch the episode. While
watching the show, try to observe any detrimental story or scene towards
unifications. More numbers of scenes we can pick, the TV program is offensive.
In opposite, less the numbers, the TV program is safe to watch.
c) If people could come up with standards on
how to scale, it can be used as parental guide for the viewers. It is scary to
know that many popular “family sitcom” could be rated as offensive, and include
many detrimental behaviors towards unification.
