Pop Culture Critique #1

In the world that we live in today everything is run by companies and big corporations that look to get a leg up on the competition. This is done in multiple ways like propaganda and subliminal messages that can almost convince someone that this is a product to die for. But the Industry does something that is never really brought into the lime light on a major scale as a bad thing and that is to demoralize women in Ads. While watching Killing Us Softly Advertising Image of Women, we explored the topic of how women are portrayed in the media. One of the major points used in the whole idea of perfection and that perfection can not really be reached. Well with computer editing and photo shop companies can edit pictures and do what ever they want so that the women, can be thinner, taller, have different hair such things like this to make her more sexual. Another example that is brought up is how today society is completely focused on the female breast and that we tend to objectify the female body and breast. I believe that this happens way to much in society and it is something that will not change due to the fact that people love sex appeal. A third type of way women are objectified is by actually being turned into objects whether it be a beer can or a type of slimmer bottle women are used to get a point across towards men.

this ad shows how even when it comes to something as running our country women are seen as lesser than man. this will change in society some day I just don't believe that day will be soon I think the culture in the world today is in a bad  place and will not be able to change from the place it is in for a long time.
