Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Communications - Miscellaneous, grade: A, , course: Media and Communications, language: English, abstract: The representation of East Asian women in the media has described the stereotypes and gender inequality of women in Asia. The analysis of “Slaying the Dragon” film by Deborah Dee portrays an array of stereotypes. Deborah Gee's movie "Slaying the Dragon" demonstrates the potent idea of being secretive and scary in the movie. Males in Western media frequently depict Asian women as objects of sex. In addition, Asian women are subjected to sexual harassment, as in the case of Tracy Tzu, who was physically harassed and sexually abused. Moreover, Dee describes the gender inequality in women by citing that the representation of men in the media has significantly changed. In contrast, that of women has remained the same due to the confinement of popular culture in East Asia. The research, therefore, explores the role of East Asian women in the media and the constraints of achieving their goals in the media industry
