tonight on television- Woman in a leadership position
Tonight I sat down to watch an episode of scrubs not expecting what we are reading about in class to be demonstrated in front of my eyes. On the show scrubs there is a woman doctor named Elliot. First I think it is not coincidental that her name is traditionally a males name. On the show she runs around the hospital flustered with low cut shirts on. She is overly attractive and the show is constantly portraying her as a dumb skinny blonde whose emotions are unruly. I think this is a good example of how the media chooses to portray a female physician in a comedic, unprofessional light. Many people may say this is just comedy and nothing serious but then why in the show do they not portray any other female physicians? Why are women constantly shown as lacking ability and motivation? Just a thought..what do you all think?>
