First, choose one of these topics:
Option #1
Sexuality in Advertising: Shared sexual images can range from the sublime to the ridiculous; they can be funny, sarcastic, angry, political, and even religious—all at the same time. In the past 100 years, the media has helped to break down taboos and have created new, shared visual imagery. Find one web-based ad and discuss how sexuality is being portrayed. Describe some of the implications of the ad–is it accurate? Could it cause someone to get any inaccurate ideas?
Option #2
Portrayal of Women in Advertising: You’ve undoubtedly noticed some of the ways that women are portrayed to sell products such as soft drinks, beer, automobiles, men’s cologne….and a multitude of others. Find a couple of specific examples. (You can attach a URL or an image to your post if you wish.) What images and fantasies about women are being sold to men? Women? What role does female sexuality have in advertising?
Option #3
Sexuality and Your Favorite TV Program: Describe how sexuality is portrayed in your favorite television program. You might discuss:
• What underlying message or stereotype about sexuality did the program present?
• How do portrayals of sexuality of women and men differ? Consider the use of language, props, camera angles, spoken lines, and time given to different characters.
• You can certainly discuss other things as well–these are just a couple of ideas!
• If possible, include an image in your post.
Your post should be a minimum of 200 words
