For DEAL Exercise 3 you should turn in a reflection of at least 850 words, but not more than 1000 words. These entries will require you to DEAL with the extra material provided for you. That is, Describe, Examine, and Articulate what you are Learning. For DEAL Exercise 3, you must read the article “The male gaze is more relevant and more dangerous than ever” from New Review of Film and Television and “What is the male gaze? Definition and examples in film” by Kim Leonard. Both articles are provided on Canvas.For each of these categories consider reflecting on the following:
Describe:
- What cultural and/or social phenomenon was most striking to you in the reading? Why or why not?
- Was this phenomenon something new or something you had already encountered in your study of race/ethnicity, history, socialization, power, and society? If so, how? If not,where had you already encountered this?
Examine (from an academic perspective):
- How does this experience enhance your knowledge of a specific reading, theory, or concept? Does it challenge or reinforce your prior understanding?
o Hint: How might the reading relate to class discussion from chapters 3, 5, and 12, etc.?
- Does it relate to topics in other courses or experiences you have had? How so?
- What do you disagree with? Be sure to provide counterpoints.
Examine (from a personal experience):
- How did this phenomenon make you feel? How did you react to it?
- What assumptions or expectations did you bring to the situation? To what extent did they prove true? If they did not prove true, why was there a discrepancy?
- How have past experiences influenced the manner in which you responded?
- Did your observations of this phenomenon reveal any of your own attitudes or biases?
Articulating your Learning:
-What did you learn? How did you learn it? Why does this learning matter and how important is it? How will it affect the way you understand and interpret society and culture in the future?
Formatting Instructions*(see formatting example on page 3)
For each DEAL exercise paper, you should use the general APA format. For more information on APA format, see the Purdue OWL resource guide: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_g uide/general_format.html
o Key points of these formats are:
▪Size 12-point fonts (Please use Times New Roman font
▪ Double spaced
▪1” margins
- Each paper needs to be a minimum of 850 words and a maximum of 1000 words.
- Save and upload your paper as a PDF to Canvas. Because students use a variety of different writing programs (i.e., Word, Google Docs, Pages, etc.) it is easier for me to download and grade everyone’s work if everyone saves and uploads their work as a PDF.

Writing Tips & Suggestions
An essential aspect of the Gordon Rule is improving your writing and preparing you to write even more academic and professional
papers as you continue your studies and careers. I list several common errors,
mistakes, or formatting issues that I see students make on this page. These
issues make their papers appear less professional and hurt their overall grade.
Contractions: these have no place in formal or academic writing; instead of contracting two words, write them out.
What not to do: I’m; don’t; we’ve; they’re; can’t; etc.
What to do: I am; do not; we have; they are; cannot; etc.
Numbers: as a rule, write out numbers from zero to nine and use the numeral for numbers 10 and above.
What not to do: 1, 2, 3, 9, ten, twelve, etc.
What to do: one, two, three, nine, 10, 12, etc.
Capitalization: learn the rules of capitalization and follow them. Some common mistakes include not capitalizing the first word of a sentence, names, proper nouns, and capitalizing seasons or important words in the paper.
What not to do: this is the start of a sentence. florida. i live in the united States. This exercise is about Culture.
What to do: This is the start of a sentence. Florida. I live in the United States. This exercise is about culture.
Punctuation: learn how and when to properly use all punctuation types, including commas, semicolons, colons, and hyphens.
Paragraphs: paragraphs should have a single focus and idea. This does not mean thatparagraphs are limited to one sentence or need to be 100 sentences. But they need to be one idea. Once you are beginning a new idea, you should start a new paragraph. Just be sure to make a smooth transition.For more tips, I recommend visiting the Purdue Online Writing Lab: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/purdue_owl.html or the Palm Beach State College Student Learning Center: https://www.palmbeachstate.edu/slc/contact-us.aspx. If students go to the Student Learning Center for help with their writing and submit evidence of their visit, they will automatically receive a 10-point bonus to their grade.
Lastly, always proofread your work, read it out loud, and reread it again.On the following page or proofreading marks, I use to grade your papers, so you know what they mean when you see them on your returned work.
Various customs and norms in
society are passed from one generation to another. When most people in society
follow particular norms, it becomes challenging to negate them. For instance,
in the " visual pleasure and narrative cinema," Mulvey illustrates
how the culture and tradition of the visual narratives portray masculinity and
femininity with the make being active actors. At the same time, females act as
objects of admiration. Women are sexualized and portrayed as objects for the
male gaze. This notion gets passed on to the viewers where viewers take the
male actors' identity and gaze or desire the female actors who are passive.
Laura Mulvey's reading on the visual narrative male gaze help in the
understanding of today's portrayal of the female actors through vivid
description, examination, and articulation of the male gaze.
