17. Read the following paragraph
A comparison among women of different ages reveals that at different points in its history and for different groups of women, television can serve as a fairly conservative or as a relatively radical repository of cultural ideas. Older women feel that their horizons are broadened by what they see on the television, especially by the roles television women play at work. Many younger women find that television encourages their longings for and exacerbates their feelings of loss about traditional family forms. Paradoxically, from a feminist perspective, television can be construed as feminist or progressive for older women, inspiring criticism of sexual mores but drawing their eager attention to depiction of women at work. In younger women, post feminist television inspires criticism, admiration and nostalgia, a mix in which resistance blends with an often backward looking sentiment.
In sum my findings lead me to conclude that the hegemonic aspects of the way television operates are more gender specific for middle class women (operation and perpetuation of patriarchy) and that television's hegemonic functions works in more class specific ways for working class women (organization of class system). I certainly do not mean that working class women are not oppressed by their gender. At either end of the age spectrum, women of both classes tend to respond more to gender related variables than to those related to social class, with younger women more critically suspicious of television's images picturing women's changing social positions, and older women more hopeful and accepting of the stories these images tell; both trends are tempered, however, by strongly opposite and contradictory responses.
