Game Changer

I chose to create a game like/interactive flow chart to address the social issue of feminism. Instead of focusing on the broad aspect of feminism I narrowed it down to feminism specifically within the LDS church. I’ve noticed that there are a lot of members of the church who automatically associate feminism with the extremists, so they often think feminists are a bunch of crazy lady’s that hate men. A Huffington  Post article states that “feminism is not the belief that one gender should be raised in power above another. The very definition of feminism shows a complete opposition to this belief.” In other words, the basic feminist belief is that men and woman are equal, and therefore should be treated equally. That basic belief is part of church doctrine, but gets complicated within the cultural norms of the church. I also used the Family: A Proclamation to the World to get some ideas for some of the question on the flow chart. Basically the goal is to get people to recognize that if you believe that men and woman are equal then that’s feminism. It may not be radical feminism, but it’s feminism nonetheless. There are different levels of feminism. I’m hoping this game helps members of the church think twice before the say that they aren’t feminists. I also took a look at three different examples of 3 Ad Agencies trying to rebrand feminism to help me get ideas for my flow chart.
