Complete this worksheet by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. There are two parts to the worksheet, with the second part including a short-answer question. Be sure to reach out to your instructor if you have any questions.
Part 1
The resources in this module are examples of artifacts that have helped create new attitudes toward women and the LGBT community while at the same time being influenced by society’s changing views. Use these examples and the information presented in the overview to complete the first table on this week’s worksheet:
In the first column, provide an example of a contemporary artifact that either helps create change in the way women or LGBT people are perceived, or has been influenced by society’s changing views of women and LGBT members.
In the second column, state in two to three sentences the reason you selected this artifact.
An example of an artifact that may have changed the perception of women is the novel The Hunger Games and its film adaptation, featuring the strong lead female character Katniss. An example of an artifact that may help shape society’s views of LGBT individuals is the TV show Modern Family, featuring Mitch and Cam, a gay couple.
Artifact

Reason

[Television Series (Will & Grace]. Featuring Will Truman (a gay lawyer), Grace Adler (a straight Jewish woman running an interior design firm), Karen Walker (a rich socialite), and Jack McFarland (a struggling actor).

[It is sitcom American TV series, that changed the perception of the society towards LGBT members. It originally broadcast eight seasons on NBC from 21st Sept 1998 to 18th May 2006. And a revival rerun culminating three seasons from 28th Sept 2018 to 18th May 2006. It is among the most successful TV series with gay characters. I chose this artifact because it addresses a severe societal problem neglected and denied in society for quite a long time. In this TV series, we see the characters going on with their day jobs naturally and interacting freely without stereotyping and discrimination towards Will Truman’s sexual orientation. The show penned by David Kohan and Max Mutchnick got a revamp in 2012 when Joe Biden addressed the press about its social and cultural impact and his support for gay marriage. It was an excellent public gesture and acceptance for Will & Grace as it created the awareness it had intended for quite some time. And the political voice and endorsement from Joe Biden helped to change the society’s perception henceforth.]
