The documentary of killing me softly was very interesting. For me, I could definitely tell that Jean Kilbourne was more on the woman's side. She was pointing out all of the things that are harmful for females, but turning them around on males as well. The way she presented the material, was a far stretch. Some of the images she showed i did not agree with, such as the calvin klein add with the two boys and the little girl. To me those adds are just for show. Everyone knows that sex sells, and that equals more money for companies. In the end women everyone has their own beliefs, and views on certain situations, which causes them to act in certain ways. Those articles, and pictures, and add campaigns are not meant to be realistic to an extent, they are a sign of what advertisers think people want, and that is what they show. Unfortunately for the average American not all of us look like the adds, or what we see in the media, so sometimes we try and make our appearance fit what we see. But in reality if we all learn to accept what we have is enough, and learn how to work with that then we will be better off. (Alex Davis)
