Application of HBSE Concepts to a music video
The video I chose for this essay is by Britney Spears, the song is titled, ‘I’m not a girl, not yet a woman’ and was released in 2001. In this video, Britney Spears is highlighting the transition that many girls go through during adolescence. She is the only person featured in this video and she appears to be lonely and out of sync with the rest of the society. This goes hand in hand with the lyrics of the song. The title of the song explains how Spears feels that she is not a girl and is yet to become a woman. This makes it difficult for her to explain where she stands in terms of identity. In this perspective, this music video is a good example of identity vs. Role confusion as explored by Erick Erikson in his psychosocial theory of development. …show more content…

The fifth stage is where most adolescents fall and is characterized by identity and role confusion. Between the ages of 12 and 18, an individual is usually trying to define who they are and the role they play in the world. This is a highly confusing time for most teenagers and it results in conflict with self and others. Earlier in this stage, a female might consider herself a girl, but as she edges towards her twenties, she begins to question whether she has reached womanhood. This is a critical phase in development and is the highlight of Britney Spears music video. Without proper guidance, girls in this stage are likely to fall into the wrong hands and start engaging in activities that could ruin their life. As one searches for their identity, they could find it in the wrong places or in right places. Adolescents who receive proper guidance at this stage often thrive after passing this

The said to be nature and source of the problem with adolescent girls are the fairy tales that are read to those girls at a young age. “Fairy tales capture the essence of this phenomenon,” (Pipher 12). These fairy tales show adolescent girls that if you go through a life threatening situation your prince charming will come to save you.

When first clicking on the video, it appears to be similar to a Katy Perry music video. The scenery is completely pastel, filled with ice cream, candy, and rainbows; the embodiment of the feminine stereotype. Along with the scenery, the women are all wearing pastel dresses with lavish jewelry and overdone makeup to exaggerate their feminine side. While welcoming men to their “hell,” the women describe the sexual harassment bubble as their “hometown” and smile. The women use logos again to demonstrate how backwards the gender system has been by using charming girlish attitudes, a stark contrast to the real meaning of the video.

In each stage there is a “crisis” that the individual needs to overcome in order to complete the stage and the crisis identified in the adolescent stage is a crisis of identity versus role confusion (Erikson, 1964). When looking at this first event from a psychosocial theory point of view, one could argue that Caitlin had a lot of role confusion when it came to her relationship with sex (Erikson, 1964). She said she had a lot of sex in her teens and early twenties while not enjoying it, describing her continued engagement in the activity as wanting “something from the boys” but never getting it (C. Corbett, personal communication, March 26, 2023). She later described this “something” as intimacy, saying that she wanted to be taken care of, but she didn’t get that until she was with a long term partner, her first husband. Her continuing to have sex in her teens and early twenties when it wasn’t what she wanted and she wasn’t getting what she needed out of it is an instance where she overidentified with the role she thought she was supposed to play based off of societal expectations, resulting in role confusion (Erikson,

Many teenage girls use music to distract them from their stresses. But behind the catchy beat, there is a sinister dark reality. Good morning/afternoon everyone, my name is Kadence Hill and I will be talking about the manipulation of young women in the media.

The teenage years can be the most challenging time in a young female adult’s impressionable life. It is a time when one maneuvers from childhood to adulthood, all while trying to find their place in life. There is almost always the power group along with a queen bee, the ones that are the wannabes, and those that do not follow the typical stereotype role. Although the behavior of teenage girls is often criticized, the ruthless actions of those in control of the social ladder or those that break the typical stereotype are what make them dangerous.

Subculture can also illustrate the impression of an oppressed minority to form of rebellion against the majority, this notion is distinctly illustrated in “We Exist”; the idea that trans-gender can be integrated into society(notion of big screen at the end). However, Sia's video does not represent any positive idea, the thought of alcoholism is looked as a vice and it is a problem which needs assistance to overcome, while the notion of transgender is tired of the “help” he /she is receiving, he/she just wants to
