Mutual equality in a relationship, the perfect tool for achieving harmonyOne of the first actions of man is to 'be sexist; this action has been supported by women for centuries and is still present today. Despite many developments in humans, there are still sexist actions in the workplace, in religion and in society in general since "students are enlightened enough to care about how gender constructs and gender relations affect negatively the status of women in the world. Research indicates that women began responding to this issue in the 1970s, when they created many feminist revolutions in the United States. For example, it was not until 1920, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, that women were fully granted the right to vote and gained many rights in their favor, even though the dominance of men in society was still intact. Looking around us, we can say that women no longer act the way they did years ago. Today, women react to men's sexist and immature attitudes, seeking to defend themselves. Women stopped being oppressed by men and became independent women. In Thelma and Louise, director Ridley Scott uses defensive nationalism, focusing on women's attitudes which, today, clearly reflect women's backlash against oppression. Through the scapegoat, we can observe the domination that Darryl presents towards Thelma his wife, reflecting a lack of harmony and equality in this couple's relationship; at the same time, we see the symbol of friendship between Thelma and Louise emerge throughout the film, that despite everything they have experienced, the two women decided to stay together until the end of their lives. In Thelma and Louise this can be clearly...... middle of paper ...... pleasant atmosphere where the ideas of both can share to reach mutual agreement without resorting to physical or mental aggression.
