DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN IN THE MILITARY BASED ON MULAN MOVIE 2020

Abstract

Mulan movie released in 2020 raised the theme of women's struggle to be free to act according to their conscience, even though they are in a war. So, the purpose of this study is to find out the causes of discrimination that happened to Mulan, find out the acts of discrimination that occurred, and find out the impact of discrimination against Mulan. The analysis method in this research is a descriptive analysis using Naomi Wolf's theoretical approach. The result of this study is that the cause of discrimination that occurs is a manifestation of the cultural culture of traditional Chinese society, which is influenced by Confucius's teachings which assume that the position of women is subordinate to men. Meanwhile, the form of discrimination against Mulan was a form of expulsion to her because her disguise as a man was exposed. And lastly, the impact of Mulan on this discrimination is that Mulan rises and breaks the stereotype that women can save the emperor. Finally, she gets an award from the emperor as the emperor's guard.
