10. Analyzing your media
In groups of four, investigate how men and women are portrayed to you through the media, how they behave, and how they relate to one another. Choose one of the following groups to research: 4 songs/lyrics or 4 TV series/films or 4 TV ads or 4 pieces of news

11. For example…
"Let's imagine for a moment that you never made a name for yourself / Or mastered wealth, they had you labeled as a king / Never made it out the cage, still out there movin' in them streets / Never had the baddest woman in the game up in your sheets / Would they be down to ride? / No, they used to hide from you, lie to you"
