Feminine Consciousness in Jane Austen's novels

Feminine Consciousness in Jane Austen's novelsIntroductionJane Austen (1775-1817), who is regarded as one of the greatest women writers in the world, is not merely an outstanding cross-century novelist but she creates the new page of women literature with outstanding authoresses, such as Charlotte Bronte and George Eliot. An authoress before the other two writers, Austen expresses her consciousness of women in her novels. Jane Austen is different from the other women novelists of her age because she writes from a keen feminine visual angle which other novelists often fail to do. Her novels are mainly concerned about women’s lives and their unfair conditions in society, especially in education, marriages, etc. Jane Austen has created six great novels in her short life, Sense and Sensibility, (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), and Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1816), Northanger Abbey (1818) Persuasion (1818). The novels by Jane Austen arecharacterized by the unique feminine. We can feel some feminineconsciousness that reflects in her novels.I. Independence and EqualityIn nineteenth-century, there was a strong belief that women were under innate handicaps of both mind and body. Men dominated the world while women were kept in the subordinate position. Jane Austinadvocated women’s rights on the grounds of sexual equality. She molded many women characters who could mention in the same breath with men either in intelligence or in rationality in her novels, thus to show women by no means lower than men, they should be treated equally withmen.Elizabeth, the protagonist of Pride and Prejudice, was intelligent and spirited, while Darcy, the hero of this novel, was splendid property and noble kindred. Even such a prince could not obtain Elizabeth’s love easily. Elizabeth refused Darcy’s proposal out of his prejudice. In Elizabeth’s view, the prejudice offended her dignity. Only after Darcy changed his attitude, treated her equally did Elizabeth accept his engage.All of these reflected Elizabeth’s pursuit of independence and equalrights.Anne Elliot, the heroine of Persuasion, was an intelligent girl who could handle much more than man. In face of the emergency of Louisa’s faint, Anne showed her rationality and ability better than all the men. Just as some of the men were at a loss, Anne controlled everything in her hands. She not only commanded to aid, but comforted the relations ofLouisa. At this moment, Anne was no longer a woman in inferiorsituation but a commander.However, the women characters in Jane Austin’s novels are not only confined to upper-class. Mrs. Smith, a character in Persuasion, was a represent of lower-class. She lived in the bottom of society with the rough habits of general public, suffered from poverty and illness, but she never yielded to fate. She not only lived optimistically, but from time to time to help her neighbors. Compared with Wickham, a character in Pride and Prejudice, living on cheat and swindle, Mrs. Smith was much loftier.These independent, self-respect women characters in Austin’s novels strongly rebut the so-called fallacies that women are born lower than men, therefore, they should have the equal rights with man totally.II. Struggle against the Feudal Propriety Women lived in perpetual bondage to the old concepts of propriety that would keep women in their right place and ensure everything would be done as it ought to be in patriarchal society. Jane Austin attacked the feudal propriety in her works. Jane Austin objected to the dominant view of the society that the virtue of women was docility. In her point of view, women should have the same rights to express their feelings as men. It was improper to oblige women to be submissive both in society and infamily.In Mansfield Park, Fanny was an ideal traditional woman, sensitive, shy, intelligent, beautiful, seemingly virtuous, with a good sense of morals. However, she was so little observed in the family circle, her presence was often overlooked and her status was always treated as inferior to others. This shy protagonist was somewhat of a shadow throughout the book. In Austin’s opinion, it was not to say Fanny’sdocility a virtue rather than a drawback. It was only after Fanny overcomes her shortcoming and gains the spirit of self-consciousness, could she have the chance to handle her own happiness.Elizabeth was a typical one against the feudal propriety. We were all deeply impressed by her courage to defend her freedom of action and thought. Elizabeth walked three miles in the mud, to visit her sick sister.When she arrived, her unkempt appearance created a great deal of surprise to those “upper-class". Austin through the mouth of Mr. Bingley confirmed Elizabeth's "crazy" action.In the face of Lady Catherine’s accuse of her five sisters all out at once, Elizabeth answered “I think it would be very hard upon younger sisters that they should not have their share of society and amusement because the elder may not have the means or inclination to marry early.The last born has as good a right to the pleasures of youth as the first.And to be kept back on such a motive!” [5] (P146) In order to preventing Elizabeth and Darcy from falling in love, Lady Catherine visited her and obliged her to promise not to engage to Darcy.Elizabeth launched a tit-for-tat struggle and condemned "I am only resolved to act in that manner which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so whollyunconnected with me."All of above thoroughly reflects the spirit of independence as well asthe rebel to the feudal tradition.III New Concept of MarriageIn Austin’s day, without education and the possibility of owning property t hemselves, women had nothing; therefore, women’s survival depended on their making a good marriage which provided money and property. Austin regarded people added too much benefit to marriage and made it more and more commercialization. She attacked marriagesbased on money fiercely.In Northanger Abbey, Jane Austin shaped a character General Tilney, who regarded money as the only measure for his choice of daughter-in-law. At first General Tilney was enchanted with Catherine and wished her to marry his son Henry, only because he heard that Catherine was an heiress. While later, he found he was misinformed and Catherine was nearly destitute, so he tried his best to drive away Catherine. In Mansfield Park, Austin Meaningfully named the heroine Fanny. Price--Fanny is the homonym of one coin in German while price in English means money. The uthoresses used these metaphors toreveal the cruelty of the society.In Sense and Sensibility the relationship between Mr. Palmer and Mrs. Palmer was a typical example of mercenary marriage. Austin used the word "sell" to show that Mrs. Palmer was a table of goods to the letter. Mr. Palmer bought this "commodity" but not satisfied, since he could not "return", he tortured, humiliated and cold-shouldered her deliberately; even insulted her mother in public. Mrs. Palmer, pregnant, could only grin and bear it. How could such a marriage be happy?Austin called for women to get rid of the traditional mercenary marriage and to set up marriage based on love. In Pride and Prejudice, th rough Elizabeth’s and Charlotte’s different attitude to the same suitor --- stupid and selfish Collins, Jane Austin expressed her idea towardsmarriage.Charlotte regarded marriage was the only decent way out for a well-educated young woman of small fortune, after making a cool and realistic analysis, she decided to choose pleasantest preservation from want—marry to Collins. To marry to a wealthy husband had never been Elizabeth’s object, she longing for the true love—a love based on equality and mutual respect. Compared with the choice of Charlotte, Elizabeth's refusal has a sense of female independence.The description of marriage in Austin’s works reveals the awareness of women in marriage, especially the awakening consciousness of female. Through such women characters as Elizabeth, Jane Austin not only conveys the awakening women’s longing for the free and equal marriage but also issues a strong challenge to patriarchy.IV ConclusionBecause of the limitation of times and class, Austin's feminine consciousness is not much more obvious and rational than female writers after her, particularly, today's feminists. Although her attack was not yet so sharp and direct, after all, for the first time in the history of English literature, a different voice was heard--seeking for theindependent personality of female.However, her novels are female-centered to show social life, different from the traditional work of anti-female discrimination, prejudice and even dehumanizing, her novels have always been a high courage in women rights, which have been suppressed and ignored in literature for a long time. In her novels, she makes rational thinking about women’s status, rights, endowments and other issues to express a clear feminine consciousness and to impact the male dominance in literature. As a pioneer and enlightener of feminine consciousness, she makes marvelous contribution to British literature.。

12132关键词：女性主义；父权制；《华伦夫人的职业》AbstractGeorge Bernard Shaw is an important dramatist in British. A series of hisexcellent dramas have tar- reachingsocial significance and unique values for study even until the present. Scholars at home and abroad have spent much academic energy on his works from different perspectives. Mrs. Warren’s Profession is one of the early and best plays written by George Bernard Shaw. In it Shaw not only exposes and satirizes the whole capitalist system and its patriarchal practices，but also shows his infinite sympathy for the exploited women in Victorian age. This paper explores two typical female characters in Mrs. Warren’s Profession on the basis of feminist theory to enrich the study of Shaw.Key words: Feminism; patriarchy; Mrs. Warren’s ProfessionContents摘要 (i)Abstract (ii)I.

He puts women an important position and actively helps them solve their problems. Headvocates the liberation and independence of women, and at the same time, he once said that women play an important role in social development. He encourages women who are regarded as pillars of society, crucial drivers of human progress to give up domestic bondage and fit into society for self-reliance and self-esteem.Mrs. Warren is the leading character in the play. She is a poor woman who lives in nineteenth century London. Finally, she becomes a prostitute and run several brothels.Shaw intends to show the corruption and hypocrisy of the society through her characterization. He also explores the personal consequences of such a profession as Mrs. Warren struggles to gain respect and love of her daughter after her daughter discovers the truth about her. Vivie is her daughter who graduated from Cambridge University. She accepts a good education when she was a little girl. However, one day, she finds that her mother engages in an immoral profession which provides the resource for her superior lifestyle. At first, she makes the choice forgive her mother when she realizes that it is difficult for her mother to escape from poor livingcondition which forces her to engage in the immoral profession. Nevertheless, she is disappointed when she find her mother continue to work on her immoral profession in order to add her riches. As a result, she decides to cut herself off from her mother resolutely and to pursue her own life.Ⅱ.Feminism and Mrs. Warr en’s Profession2.1. FeminismFeminism is a social and political movement which is about changing the way that people see men and women. Feminism says that women are poorly treated and that this must stop. Somebody who follows feminism is called a feminist. Feminism as a women’s liberation movement first appeared in the late 19th century in France, and later caught on in Britain, America and other countries around the world in succession.Actually, in patriarchal society, there are mainly two kinds of women, one is the “angel in the house” who obeys the rules of this patriarchal society and the other one is the representative of “new woman” who denies orders and requirements of this system.In the play, readers are interested in Vivie who is the unity of angel and rebellious woman. At first, she just likes an angel at house and is “dependent, protected and provided for” (Anderson 332). However, under the influence of living surroundings and the education she received, it is no doubt that she will be dissatisfied with the rule of patriarchal society and become a New Woman. As for Mrs. Warren, she is the spokesman for women who live at the bottom of the society and suffer from the greatest oppression. She is courageous enough to challenge the value and traditions of that society; however, on the marriage of her daughter, she once again returns to the traditional requirements. Without theoretical guide of feminism, the way for women to strive for independence and freedom is even.Shaw here indicates that all the principles of society are controlled and managed by men, so women’s sacrifice and devotion seem to be worthless at all in the patriarchal society. In a word, men’s domination in family and society is the result of his economic domination. However, even women work as hard as men, they still couldn’t own the same human rights as men. Except their biological and psychological differences, males and females should be equal; however, with the development of human society, men gradually become the dominant and superior ones, on the contrary, women increasingly fall into a secondary and inferior position. 从《华伦夫人的职业》看萧伯纳的女性主义(3):。

9The Feminist Movement

The Feminist Movement and W orking-Class W omenThe modern Women's Movement first started in America in 1964 has changed the thinking of women and the attitudes of men towards women. But even today there still exists a conflict of values between the feminists and the working-class women. The following passage discusses the issue."I'm not a women's libber, but..." is the opening line of many conversations in which women talk about not getting fair pay, an equal chance for a job, decent working conditions, or the respect given to male workers in the same job. Even in 1989, 25 years after Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique signaled the start of the modern Women's Movement, many still believe these are their own personal problems, not the result of our economic and social systems. They don't want to be called "feminists" or "women's libbers." Y et, their anger at not being treated fairly means that they do expect to be given opportunities and responsibilities equal to those men get.All women who called themselves feminists could agree on some points. "The personal is political" meant that women's inequality compared to men was not just an individual problem, but happened because the U.S. social, political and economic systems were stacked against them. Legal restrictions, such as laws forbidding women from lifting more than 30 pounds, kept them out of lucrative jobs considered "men's work." Women found it hard to get credit in their own names or to obtain loans to start a business or buy a home. In community property starts, a husband could manage the family finances alone, while his wife could not. Women often were not admitted to law and medical schools; if they did get in, they faced stinging discrimination from teachers and fellow students. The cultural norm insisting that a woman should take a man's name when she married often was enforced as though it were a law; few considered the tremendous psychological shift that occurs when a name is changed.Many women began to recognize that their struggles in relationships and jobs were not just their own personal failures, but were related to a cultural system designed to keep them in their place. Their reaction was anger at the patriarchal system. "The click" was a feminist term for that moment of sudden insight when a woman realized that she was, indeed, oppressed. For one woman, it happened when she was told by a solicitous male supervisor that in order to succeed in her job she would have to be "at least twice as good as any of the men." Click!With the fervor of the newly converted, feminists in the early 1970's believed that, if the feminist message of liberation from patriarchal oppression were heard, it would be accepted by any woman. However, exposure to the ideas of the Women's Movement wasn't enough to make every woman a feminist. Some working-class American women were antagonized by the attitudes feminists expressed towards the family, traditional feminine styles of dress and speech, women's paid work, and sexual freedom in relationships and childbearing.Part of this problem was a matter of class. In those early years, the Women's Movement was a middle-class movement, as it often was accused of being. It was begun by women with education who understood how the system worked and couldtake the time to try to change it. The values expressed were middle-class and often clashed with the realities of working-class women's lives.Besides misunderstanding the importance of truly equal job opportunities, some working-class women had good reason to be cynical about the cries of "liberation" and "equality" they heard from the Women's Movement.The issue of paid work for women versus volunteer work and unpaid work in the home was a highly divisive one in the early days of the movement. The vocal feminists quoted in the mass media sounded as though they believed that a woman who didn't work for pay wasn't realizing her full potential. Many of them also argued that some way should be found to pay women for housework, but that idea wasn't given wide coverage in the media. The concept of women having a choice about whether to work for pay or not was a middle-class idea; working-class women usually worked, from necessity. To them, not having to work sounded more like liberation.The tone feminists used in delivering the message that women should work for pay bothered some people. In 1973, Social Research, Inc., of Chicago surveyed 410 women in eight cities; one of the areas they probed was the women's response to the Women's Movement. (They referred to it as "Women's Lib," a term usually used by opponents of the movement, showing either their ignorance or bias.) SRI found the working-class women in their sample (two-thirds of the total) had a stronger sense of being oppressed and victimized than the middle-class women, but didn't believe the Women's Movement offered them any help. They saw it as a contributor to the problem by putting pressure on them to have a job, when they had very little choice in that matter anyway. They did have jobs, which they would have given up gladly if they could have afforded to stay home without making money. The working-class women in this study resented what they considered to be the authoritarian attitude of leaders of the Women's Movement, "an attempt by Lib leaders to tell other women what they ought to do, feel, be proud of, or ashamed of." Similar attitudes were found by the writers who interviewed individual women.Louise Kapp Howe interviewed several beauticians for Pink Collar Workers. One became very upset when Howe asked if her husband ever helped around the house. "No, and I wouldn't want him to. I'd rather do my own cooking and my own housekeeping. I don't believe in women's lib. And I don't believe in all that crap －making a husband do half the work." She was typical of other interviewees who believed that a woman's role was to stay at home, if possible, and take care of the children, though the overwhelming odds were that most of these women worked outside their homes at repetitious, boring, and sometimes dangerous jobs. They usually regarded their husbands' jobs as the primary ones and their own as secondary to their vocation of homemaking, no matter how important their income was to their family's economic well-being."Oppression" didn't mean the same to these working-class women as it did to an academic Marxist feminist or a member of NOW. To working-class women, oppression was what the system did to both women and men, not just something men in a patriarchal, capitalist system did to to women. They saw the men's role as harder than theirs, even when they worked outside the home, too. Therefore, they found ithard to join the Women's Movement in anger directed at men in general.Feminist values and working-class womenIt was in this area of family, relationships with men, and childbearing that the strongest discrepancies were found between feminist values and those expressed by the working-class women who were interviewed by the writers. The working-class woman gave her family much higher priority than her job －it was her major source of self-esteem. Many early feminists considered the family a trap that kept women in bondage. Some, such as Shulamith Firestone in The Dialectic of Sex, suggested alternative ways of rearing children collectively. These feminists did not seem to value children, and the working-class women resented it.The feminist preoccupation with not being seen as a sex object was another point that led to misunderstanding. A feminist in the early 1970's might refuse to wear skirts or other traditionally feminine clothing, wear a hair style she could care for herself, and never wear make-up. Working-class women lived in a culture where such unorthodox dress could send an unpleasant message. As one woman put it, "A …liberated' working-class woman may be considered a slut."Beauticians interviewed by several writers pointed out that they had one of the best jobs for a working-class woman. One said, "You don't understand how many of us go into beauty work because we want to be independent. We can have a shop at home －be our own boss, be there when the kids come home from school, and keep ourselves together if the old man cuts out." Another told Howe, "Y ou can't tell me it's bad for a woman to care about her appearance. I do, and I think I'm as liberated as anybody."For these women who rarely had a choice about whether or not to work for pay, "equal pay for equal work" could have been an idea they shared with feminists. Why didn't they join with the Women's Movement to demand employment equality with men? Two reasons emerge from the interviews.Equal employment opportunity first was mentioned at a union rally in 1887; the idea has been part of working women's lives for more than 100 years. Low-income women have gone on strike and asked for better wages and working conditions for many years. They didn't see this as an issue the Women's Movement could claim as its own, but as a separate one with a long history of rebuffs and setbacks.Second, while they could agree with "equal pay for equal work" in the abstract, there was a strong feeling expressed that, given any problem with the number of jobs available, a man always should be given a job so that he could support his family. They recognized the hardship this worked on a single woman, but, with their emphasis on family relationships, they believed the policy of giving men preference for jobs and better pay was the best course for society as a whole. They saw little chance the system would change so that women could get and keep jobs paying enough for a family to live on; they had been fighting that system for a long time.Nancy Seifer interviewed several women who had personal contact with feminists who were union organizers and political workers. These feminists overcame the barriers of misunderstanding, and the women they came in contact with had favorable opinions of the Women's Movement. However, the women who got all theirinformation about the Women's Movement from the mass media failed to see what it had to offer them.Now that the movement has produced major changes in opportunities for women, why do so many women, of all classes, colors, and incomes, repeat, "I'm not a feminist, but..." as they talk about changes that still need to be made? Perhaps one answer lies in the impact made by the fierce rhetoric of the early Women's Movement, especially its radical wing. Many people still associate the word "feminist" with man-hating, lesbianism, contempt for motherhood, and a demand that everyone work for pay.A stronger reason may lie in the value differences discussed by these working class women who were interviewed 15 to 20 years ago. "What do women want?" has no one answer, because women have diverse needs and values. The Women's Movement believed all women were sisters, with fundamental rights and ideas on which every one of them could agree. The problem was that this led to a high intolerance for diversity of opinion in the early Women's Movement. Feminists have become more tolerant, but too many women still may think they're being told "what they ought to do, feel, be proud of, ashamed of."Though divided by race, class, culture, and many beliefs, women need to keep trying to understand each other. A fragmented sisterhood never will make as many changes as one that is a strong mosaic of women who respect each other's differences, but can work together toward common goals.(1 912 words)A.

Femininity and Masculinity in Advertising

Femininity and Masculinity in AdvertisingFemininity and Masculinity in AdvertisingXing HuHUXD12031540 wordsFemininity and Masculinity in Advertising Abstract:Advertisiment is a form of communication diffused through various mass media.Advertising tries to adjust its propoganda to the interests of the masses and disregard the more specific opinions of groups or individuals that constitute the masses.This lead to the need to conquer the advertising industry and consumer markets.Thus,the codes based on sexual differences made their appearance in the advertisement industry.The codes give a message feminine or masculine connotations.The notions of masculinity and femininity that are developed during the process of socialization are taken to extremes in advertisements.However,with the development of the times,the female characters often appear more confident and resistent than before and the images for males contain strong conotations of seduction that did not previously exist.This paper aims to examine in greater detail the masculity and femilinity in advertisementsKey words:Masculity,femilinityWhen advertisements become an indispensable part.of our life, it is inevitable for us to discuss it. On the one hand, advertising is another form of communication, and it is widely regarded as the economic engine in the entire communication system. In addition, it is the main financial support of the media industry. On the other hand, advertising has been playing a more and more significant role in people’s consumption activities and even their value orientation. Advertising not only exhibits the refined combination of what is advertised and what do the advertising, but also serves as an intangible mirror reflecting people’s consuming ideologies hidden behind advertisements. Among all the consuming ideologies like sexism, racism and the like, the essay pay more attention to the images of femininity and masculinity in the advertisements. The notions of masculinity and femininity that are developed during the process of socialization are taken to extremes in advertising. As far as our gender stereotypes are concerned, women often represent the images of “servant-woman, femme fatale, child-woman, women-as-mother, loose woman and object-woman (Arnould & Thompson, 2005).” While men widely-known as the contributors of the whole society are often concerned with cars, status, dignity, royalty and so on. Wehave just mentioned phenomenon that not only the real facts occurring in our daily life but also be intended by advertisers to demonstrate in their adverting.The images of women in advertising is similar to that in other mass production processes.It is constructed on the basis of feminine stereotypes,which, as we saw earler are instilled during the period of primary socialization ,and sustained by means of values and images conveyed in society.In this way,feminine stereotypes are reassuring and repeated in an endless number of ways to fit the fashion and context of the day.As we could see,the images of women in the advertisements often reminds the public of household chores,obsessed with being beautiful and able to manage both a career and family life.The publicity has lead to the stereotyped ideas that this kind of behavior is characteristic of all women(Primeau,1997).Because of their position in society,women play a different role in the relationship,namely,the advertisement.Because of their position in society,women function a different roles in sharp contrast with the male.In the past,the female occupy the images as person and objects.Since the modern mediation of the relationship between the person and the object,the conventional patrarchal system which defines women as objects has gone into pieces.The negative images of female conveyed in advertising is only the result of the system that produces these images.In this way,the cultural inequalities in the society are reflected in advertising.Women are given a material and symbolic value,much like the value that is attached to the commodities(Primeanu,2001).Besides,as all commodities are thoroughlychanged into a monetary value,the process of quantification applies to women also.Yet ,the stereotyped model appears to be natural,and inherent part of the object described in advertising instead of a construction based on the message system within a given social context.The sympol ,according to Yanni,plays an important role in the construction of reality and lead to the distortion of awareness.One of the strategies of advertising is to attract the attention of the audience by puting on an easily recognizable symbol.However,with the evolution and transformation of the society,this symbol has leaded to the stereotype of female images.Currently,in the realm of advertising,there is an ongoing proliferation of new stereotypes revolving around the new woman characterized by her femininity and sexuality.She is trendy,work far away from home and consumes large amount of products to meet her needs(BBC world service,2011).Or in other times,she is portrayed as a beautiful,tall,slender,fit and somewhat provocative woman in her 20s ,or even younger.According to statistics,more than ever,these images involve placing women under male scrutiny.By itself,the image could hold water.The point is that the female body are used as initiative for commercial purposes.The use of certain parts of female body to sell products is the ultimate expression of the objectification of women.What is more,this fragmentation is accompanied with nudity,the objects becomes blatantly sexual. Without abandoning the housewife stereotype,advertising also reflects female integration into the labor market,showing them in every profession for the purpose of selling.Advertising relies on the sure values exemplified by the so-called traditionalfeminine trades to exploit the romantic model as housewife pitching household products and medicine.Still.since the mid-1980s,gender stereotypes have changed.Women are now seen displaying their body in different ways,being preoccupied by turing themselves into a work of art,as well as caressing different objects.Men,in contrast,are seen caressing only their beautiful companions,as well as possessing the ability to do valued tasks efficiently and mastering different obstacles that may stand in their way.Various agencies around the world try their best to combat against the sexism in the advertisments.Nevertheless,it is obvious that sex-role stereotyping was ,and still is part of the advertising industry strategy.In cultural discourse,the inequality of the social relations between men and women has a detrimental effect on the self image ,as well as their public image.To be sure,women are not alone in terms of having a negative image reflected through advertisements.The recent several years have witnessed the obectivity of the body of male.It is widely acknowledged that more and more men make their appearances in ads and clearly set up as objects.Ads uses the male body in the same way that it uses female body.It could be summed up that Men are portrayed in four major roles,man as an object of desire,man as lovemaker,man as a phallic object and man as an erotic object.In all these roles,men appear partially or completely nude in order to advertise hair shampoo,perfume,underwear,wine,ect.Primeau has attrbuted the emergence of men as objects-an important development,he has claimed—to the fact that more and more women work in advertising agencies.Herefers to this as sexism.The advent of advertising involving the use of men as bait can not be perceived as compensation for sexism aganist women.If the image of men as objects in advertisements is said to be connotative of the new distribution of male and female roles in society,this illusion can only serve good to those people who manipulate consumption habbits(The Newyorkers,2002).The new sexism has helped ridicule ancient social practices without presenting new realities or roles for men and women, The fact is that because society is in transition,the content of contemprery advertsiements is often blurring,the idea of the new male is not well defined as that of the new female.Faced with the affirmation and increasing employment of female in general,nowadays, the consumer can no longer identify with a dominating male model.As a result,modern advertisementsis attempting to define new social realities with success to limited extent.The image of male in the ne0-sexist advertising does not suggest equality of the sexes.Instead ,it open to our eyes the ambiguity of male role in current social structure.Male are portrayed as being insecure,worried ,immoblie and often inactive in sharp contrast with the old images of male characterized with virlity.Therefore, people especially the feminists have begun to recognize the seriousness of the phenomenon, and at the same time, show their resistance to this sexism. However, reality is not as good as we imagine.The adertising circles have undervalued the sophistication of the sexism in advertising. That is, only the term “sexism”cannotcover the whole picture of the phenomenon. V ollmer (2008) has claimed that times have changed, and today female characters often appear more confident and more resistant than before, whereas advertising for men contains strong connotations of seduction that did not previously exist.Adevertising ,thus,does not do justice either to men or women.Both are exploited as objects for the sole purpose of generating sales of the commodities advertised(Washington Post ,2000).Therefore, this essay holds the idea reflects people do have intangible ideologies hidden behind advertisements, but the ultimate and decisive factor is the “need”which stimulus mass production, mass consumption as well as the advertisement design. Advertising, therefore, does not do justice either to men or women. Advertisers only care about the sales of commodities that be shown in adverting.ReferencesArnould, E. J., & Thompson, C. J.

Feminine Consciousness in Jane Austen's novelsIntroductionJane Austen (1775-1817), who is regarded as one of the greatest women writers in the world, is not merely an outstanding cross-century novelist but she creates the new page of women literature with outstanding authoresses, such as Charlotte Bronte and George Eliot. An authoress before the other two writers, Austen expresses her consciousness of women in her novels. Jane Austen is different from the other women novelists of her age because she writes from a keen feminine visual angle which other novelists often fail to do. Her novels are mainly concerned about women’s lives and their unfair conditions in society, especially in education, marriages, etc. Jane Austen has created six great novels in her short life, Sense and Sensibility, (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), and Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1816), Northanger Abbey (1818) Persuasion (1818). The novels by Jane Austen arecharacterized by the unique feminine. We can feel some feminineconsciousness that reflects in her novels.I. Independence and EqualityIn nineteenth-century, there was a strong belief that women were under innate handicaps of both mind and body. Men dominated the world while women were kept in the subordinate position. Jane Austinadvocated women’s rights on the grounds of sexual equality. She molded many women characters who could mention in the same breath with men either in intelligence or in rationality in her novels, thus to show women by no means lower than men, they should be treated equally withmen.Elizabeth, the protagonist of Pride and Prejudice, was intelligent and spirited, while Darcy, the hero of this novel, was splendid property and noble kindred. Even such a prince could not obtain Elizabeth’s love easily. Elizabeth refused Darcy’s proposal out of his prejudice. In Elizabeth’s view, the prejudice offended her dignity. Only after Darcy changed his attitude, treated her equally did Elizabeth accept his engage.All of these reflected Elizabeth’s pursuit of independence and equalrights.Anne Elliot, the heroine of Persuasion, was an intelligent girl who could handle much more than man. In face of the emergency of Louisa’s faint, Anne showed her rationality and ability better than all the men. Just as some of the men were at a loss, Anne controlled everything in her hands. She not only commanded to aid, but comforted the relations ofLouisa. At this moment, Anne was no longer a woman in inferiorsituation but a commander.However, the women characters in Jane Austin’s novels are not only confined to upper-class. Mrs. Smith, a character in Persuasion, was a represent of lower-class. She lived in the bottom of society with the rough habits of general public, suffered from poverty and illness, but she never yielded to fate. She not only lived optimistically, but from time to time to help her neighbors. Compared with Wickham, a character in Pride and Prejudice, living on cheat and swindle, Mrs. Smith was much loftier.These independent, self-respect women characters in Austin’s novels strongly rebut the so-called fallacies that women are born lower than men, therefore, they should have the equal rights with man totally.II. Struggle against the Feudal Propriety Women lived in perpetual bondage to the old concepts of propriety that would keep women in their right place and ensure everything would be done as it ought to be in patriarchal society. Jane Austin attacked the feudal propriety in her works. Jane Austin objected to the dominant view of the society that the virtue of women was docility. In her point of view, women should have the same rights to express their feelings as men. It was improper to oblige women to be submissive both in society and infamily.In Mansfield Park, Fanny was an ideal traditional woman, sensitive, shy, intelligent, beautiful, seemingly virtuous, with a good sense of morals. However, she was so little observed in the family circle, her presence was often overlooked and her status was always treated as inferior to others. This shy protagonist was somewhat of a shadow throughout the book. In Austin’s opinion, it was not to say Fanny’sdocility a virtue rather than a drawback. It was only after Fanny overcomes her shortcoming and gains the spirit of self-consciousness, could she have the chance to handle her own happiness.Elizabeth was a typical one against the feudal propriety. We were all deeply impressed by her courage to defend her freedom of action and thought. Elizabeth walked three miles in the mud, to visit her sick sister.When she arrived, her unkempt appearance created a great deal of surprise to those “upper-class". Austin through the mouth of Mr. Bingley confirmed Elizabeth's "crazy" action.In the face of Lady Catherine’s accuse of her five sisters all out at once, Elizabeth answered “I think it would be very hard upon younger sisters that they should not have their share of society and amusement because the elder may not have the means or inclination to marry early.The last born has as good a right to the pleasures of youth as the first.And to be kept back on such a motive!” [5] (P146) In order to preventing Elizabeth and Darcy from falling in love, Lady Catherine visited her and obliged her to promise not to engage to Darcy.Elizabeth launched a tit-for-tat struggle and condemned "I am only resolved to act in that manner which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so whollyunconnected with me."All of above thoroughly reflects the spirit of independence as well asthe rebel to the feudal tradition.III New Concept of MarriageIn Austin’s day, without education and the possibility of owning property t hemselves, women had nothing; therefore, women’s survival depended on their making a good marriage which provided money and property. Austin regarded people added too much benefit to marriage and made it more and more commercialization. She attacked marriagesbased on money fiercely.In Northanger Abbey, Jane Austin shaped a character General Tilney, who regarded money as the only measure for his choice of daughter-in-law. At first General Tilney was enchanted with Catherine and wished her to marry his son Henry, only because he heard that Catherine was an heiress. While later, he found he was misinformed and Catherine was nearly destitute, so he tried his best to drive away Catherine. In Mansfield Park, Austin Meaningfully named the heroine Fanny. Price--Fanny is the homonym of one coin in German while price in English means money. The uthoresses used these metaphors toreveal the cruelty of the society.In Sense and Sensibility the relationship between Mr. Palmer and Mrs. Palmer was a typical example of mercenary marriage. Austin used the word "sell" to show that Mrs. Palmer was a table of goods to the letter. Mr. Palmer bought this "commodity" but not satisfied, since he could not "return", he tortured, humiliated and cold-shouldered her deliberately; even insulted her mother in public. Mrs. Palmer, pregnant, could only grin and bear it. How could such a marriage be happy?Austin called for women to get rid of the traditional mercenary marriage and to set up marriage based on love. In Pride and Prejudice,th rough Elizabeth’s and Charlotte’s different attitude to the same suitor --- stupid and selfish Collins, Jane Austin expressed her idea towardsmarriage.Charlotte regarded marriage was the only decent way out for a well-educated young woman of small fortune, after making a cool and realistic analysis, she decided to choose pleasantest preservation from want—marry to Collins. To marry to a wealthy husband had never been Elizabeth’s object, she longing for the true love—a love based on equality and mutual respect. Compared with the choice of Charlotte, Elizabeth's refusal has a sense of female independence.The description of marriage in Austin’s works reveals the awareness of women in marriage, especially the awakening consciousness of female. Through such women characters as Elizabeth, Jane Austin not only conveys the awakening women’s longing for the free and equal marriage but also issues a strong challenge to patriarchy.IV ConclusionBecause of the limitation of times and class, Austin's feminine consciousness is not much more obvious and rational than female writers after her, particularly, today's feminists. Although her attack was not yet so sharp and direct, after all, for the first time in the history of English literature, a different voice was heard--seeking for theindependent personality of female.However, her novels are female-centered to show social life, different from the traditional work of anti-female discrimination, prejudice and even dehumanizing, her novels have always been a high courage in women rights, which have been suppressed and ignored in literature for a long time. In her novels, she makes rational thinking about women’s status, rights, endowments and other issues to express a clear feminine consciousness and to impact the male dominance in literature. As a pioneer and enlightener of feminine consciousness, she makes marvelous contribution to British literature.。

鲍德里亚消费社会读后感

鲍德里亚消费社会读后感(中英文实用版)After immersing myself in Baudrillard"s work on the consumer society, I am left with a profound sense of introspection and critique.Baudrillard"s analysis of how consumption has become the defining feature of our social structure is both thought-provoking and chilling.He argues that in our consumer-driven world, the meaning of objects is no longer inherent in their use-value but is rather created through the sign-value assigned to them.This shift has led to a society where individuals are defined by what they consume rather than who they are.The book highlights the idea that the consumer society has created an endless cycle of desire and acquisition, where the satisfaction of needs is less important than the constant pursuit of newwants.Baudrillard"s concept of "hyperreality" is particularly striking, suggesting that our social environment has become so saturated with signs and simulations that we can no longer distinguish between the real and the artificial.The read has made me question my own role in this consumerist machine and the impact it has on my identity and the larger societal implications.It"s a call to become more aware of the forces shaping our lives and to question the true value of the things we consume.阅读鲍德里亚关于消费社会的作品后，我深感其内省与批判的力量。

2019年有关诚信辩论赛辩题

2019年有关诚信辩论赛辩题英文回答：In the tapestry of human virtues, integrity stands out as a vibrant thread, weaving together the fabric of our moral compass. It is the bedrock of trust, the cornerstone of relationships, and the guiding light in navigatinglife's complexities. Yet, as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of the 21st century, the question of whether integrity is still relevant in today's society has become a subject of heated debate.From the depths of corporate scandals to the murky waters of political deceit, the erosion of integrity has cast a shadow over our collective conscience. It seems as if the pursuit of power, wealth, and fame has eclipsed the timeless principles of honesty, accountability, and transparency. The lines between right and wrong have blurred, and the once-sacrosanct virtue of integrity has been relegated to the realm of abstract ideals.However, I firmly believe that integrity is not merely an artifact of the past, but an indispensable virtue in today's world. In a society plagued by misinformation, manipulation, and moral relativism, integrity serves as an anchor, grounding us in a shared understanding of what is true, just, and ethical. It is the glue that binds us together, fostering trust, cooperation, and a sense of shared purpose.The absence of integrity leads to a society where deceit, corruption, and self-interest reign supreme. It undermines the institutions that are meant to serve us, erodes public confidence, and stifles innovation and progress. In such a world, trust becomes a scarce commodity, and the pursuit of common goals becomes a distant dream.Conversely, integrity breeds a virtuous cycle of trust, accountability, and transparency. It creates a fertile ground for collaboration, innovation, and societal well-being. When individuals and institutions act with integrity, they inspire others to do the same, fostering a culture ofhonesty and ethical behavior.It is true that maintaining integrity can be difficult in the face of adversity and temptation. However, it is precisely in these moments that our character is truly tested. By choosing the path of integrity, we not only uphold our own values but also contribute to the greater good of society.Integrity is not simply a matter of following rules or adhering to a code of conduct. It is a deeply personal commitment to live in accordance with one's beliefs and principles, even when it is inconvenient or unpopular. It requires courage, resilience, and a steadfast belief in the power of truth.In my own life, I have been fortunate to encounter numerous individuals who embody the virtue of integrity. They are people who walk the talk, whose actions align with their words, and who inspire me to be a better person. One such individual is my mentor, a woman who has dedicated her life to serving others and upholding the highest ethicalstandards. She has faced countless challenges and obstacles, but she has never compromised her integrity, even when it meant sacrificing personal gain.Her unwavering commitment to integrity has not only earned her the respect and admiration of her peers but has also made a tangible difference in the world. Through her work, she has empowered marginalized communities, promoted social justice, and inspired countless others to live with purpose and integrity. Her example serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of integrity and its ability to uplift both individuals and society as a whole.As we look to the future, it is imperative that we reaffirm the importance of integrity in all aspects of our lives. Let us strive to be people of integrity, to act with honesty, transparency, and accountability, and to inspire others to do the same. Let us create a society whereintegrity is not just an aspiration but a lived reality, where trust is the foundation of our interactions, andwhere the pursuit of truth and justice guides our decisions.In the words of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, "The unexamined life is not worth living." Let us examine our own lives, our values, and our actions, and let us choose the path of integrity. For it is in the embrace of integrity that we find true freedom, fulfillment, and the unwavering respect of others.中文回答：诚信，是人类美德中璀璨的一线，它将我们道德准则的面料编织在一起。
