Two Ways A Woman Can Get Hurt

The article "Two Ways A Woman Can Get Hurt" really brought out a lot of valid points that are predominate in the advertising world. I agree with most of what they say about the sexual objectifying of women. Most advertising today really focuses on the sexual aspects of human beings. This objectifying leads to violence in our world and really influences those who are responsible for creating that violence. I thought this article was very insightful and found a lot of different things that make me more informed about what occurs in the advertising world. 

One thing that I was really shocked about was the court case with the 3 year old child. I can't believe that that would even happen. A 3 year old can obviously not be a sexual abuser to someone who could just pick the child up. I doubt that that child would even know what it was doing. Honestly, who could even think that? It almost makes me sick.

This article relates to my paper in that it talked about ways that women (and men) can be objectified in advertisement. From looking at different body positions, you can tell a lot about what the advertiser is trying to convey. It is interesting how often advertisers sexualize what they are trying to sell. I also agree with what the article said how things can never fulfill your sexual desires and that things cannot provide emotional satisfaction. My paper does not relate to this article however, because there is not really any violence prevalent in my advertisement. There is not really any way that violence or sexual acts could be construed from the ad I picked.

I found this article to be extremely informative and I think it could really help me have more ideas to write about in this paper.
