ABSTRACT

Social theory is a large and vast theory that incorporates anything that has to do with or interprets social phenomena. Usually this is shown by networking charts or some sort of graph theory. According the World Health Organization, “‘sex’ refers to the biological and physiological characteristics that define men and women. ‘Gender’ refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women”. The chick-flick genre signifies a more feminine choice as this genre usually involves attractive young men being the object of affection. In addition, chick-flicks usually allow an outlet for emotion. This could be done through crying, sadness, happiness, or even joy. The student provides a strong description of the distinction between gender and sex. The theory explanation is a little thin and could use more development to better explain how the research question is being addressed by the theories.
