Tima Ashomali (a Jordanian content creator and producer who holds a Master of Cinematic Arts) focuses on creating web series as seen in the promotional video linked here, these web series comically critique the expected representation of women we see across different cultures. In this age, is there enough diversity in the representation of women/men across Arab media content? Briefly discuss this issue with valid argument(s) to support your critical perspective. Think of examples we discussed in this course and make sure your answer correctly includes relevant key terms/key concepts with proper theoretical linkage (the words used in the question are not key terms and you should replace the question’s informal explanation with the key terms/key concepts and proper theoretical linkage needed). Remember that you can negotiate the significance of multiple critical perspectives and not just support or oppose one.
