Abstract

Literatures are meanings of everyday life as on point with Sandra Bem’s concept about androgynous sides that focuses on indicating masculinity and femininity of individuals and societies. Why Don’t You Get a Job? is a song by The Offspring in 1999 that underlines American couples’ condition where only one side is working while the other is doing nothing. Interestingly, this band shows how that situation happens to both gender. Then, how is androgynous perspective represented on The Offspring’s Why Don’t You Get a Job?? Through qualitative method, this paper exposes that man and woman are proved not to be so independent and dependent, but both should work to complement each other. That song indicates that society is so androgynous that spots roles of man and woman supported by Bem’s theory. In conclusion, the song shows society is not totally about man or woman but how each side asks other side for better deed. The Offspring asserts androgynous perspective that requires roles of man and woman, not of being dominant but to be complementary.

In the short story entitled Shifting written by Ann Beattie, Natalie is worried about her marriage because Natalie thinks that Larry's mother will not approve of their marriage, this is because Natalie is rarely accompanying Larry. Then, how are generalized anxiety disorders accentuated in Ann Beattie’s Shifting? In analysis, the main character in this story is over-worrying that makes herself being different in the view of the others. The language that she knows has been over consumed that she has been swallowed by the language itself.  In conclusion, the short story indicates how any disorder may come from any small worry. If the worrying is not finished, it could be piled up and be shaped into further anxiety that disturbs life of being individuals and parts of societies.
