Advertisments

In Kilbourne's article "Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt" she talks about advertising and the ways it hints at power and violence. She says how some of them "dehumanizes and objectifies people, often women", often comparing it to pornography. What is your opinion on this, do you agree or disagree with her? How do you think advertising has changed over the years? Do you think sometimes it is taken too far? She also mentions kids in advertisments, and how they may be portrayed in a sexual manner. Do you agree or disagree with this and do you think there is any truth to her claims? What did you find most disturbing?
