As we seen the presentation of the Fried Green Tomatoes film. It is based on the gender roles of the people in society.In the film it is mainly emphasized to audiance about Rude in her family who serves the needs of men and the house, make her husband happy and not being aggrasive to men. Women are expected to give herself all to her marriage and public expectations like being submissive. They should not release their feelings directy. Women are dependent of their husband in social and economically. Men are controller of the family. Men are more dominant and respectful. Women are only expected to give man a boy who will keep the families name alive. After the marriage ends and Ruth moves to Idgie she become more indepentent and joyful. She started to realize her good relations with Idgie and become best friends. Both Ruth and Idgie were out of ordinary compared to other women in society. They open their own cafe as women, become friends with black people and give them work. Thus most of the people see those as devien. On the other hand Eveleyn was an ordinary housewomen living with her unromantically husband. Evelyn was attending social classes to rescue her marriage and get self awareness her feminity. She was a polite, shy, fat, submissive, middle aged and romantic person unlike his "Odun" husband. While she was listening the stories of Idgie and Ruth, she started to rediscover herself and try to make vital changes on her on going life. She was influenced and started to live more on the way as she wants, not the expected from society. As result gain respect with getting fit and having self confident and economical independency.

Photos and Perception-How we can create our ideas about genders?
Photos as we see every day life in advertisements will have an impact to our perception. As we see a commercial about a commodity represented with a adorable girl we would take attantion to it and have a look. In this way, photos in those advertisements with men and women gives an idea to us. But in a way these images also undermining our ideas and occupy our perspective with the concept of how we should think about gender according to profound effect in it. The exposure of men mostly represented to public that he is strong, powerful, high, cool and serious. This would give a notion to public that men should be strong and powerful as it is seen on these advertisements. Looking seriosly, on upright position holding a gun maybe. On the other hand, girls in a advertisement seem delicate, feminane, sexy and cheerful. These are the conceps that would penetrate people's mind. Thus, people may recieved those conceps as all the gender should act like that. It is not good if there is a girl who is not following these conceps would labeled as a stranger, and maybe ostracized.
