从全美超模大赛看社会对女性的束缚_英语论文

Study on the Bondage for Women from the Society from America’s Next Top Model  

摘要

在对女性的研究史上，对女性解放的讨论一直是各类学者所研究和争论的重点。很多女权主义者在对女性解放的研究上，都结合了自己所处的社会环境进行讨论，并就自己的立场对如何实现女性的解放提出了见解。在不断发展中，女性主义也产生了各个流派，但是这些流派都存在着自己本身所具有的局限性。而随着时代的发展，女性学也有了新的发展。在如今，社会的自由与发展，让女性在一定程度上打破了一些因素对自己的束缚，但是却还没有实现真正的解放。 

本文在对有关女性解放以及女性学的文献资料研读的基础之上，对全美超模大赛这档极其具有女性色彩的真人秀电视节目的背景意义以及社会影响进行分析，然后从全美超模大赛中选取几个实例，结合相关理论对宗教信仰对女性的束缚、家庭情感因素对女性的束缚以及学历背景对女性的束缚这三个方面进行具体的案例分析，再对如何实现女性的完全解放与打破社会对女性的束缚给出建议，如深入普及男女平等的思想，女性改变自己自己的固有观念、经济独立等。
