Answer to Question 3/30/09

Advertising affects/influences media every second of everyday. The different media outlets have different nitch markets that they cater to. In every article of Women's Health they have a section on of the latest fashion trends...they show you what is popular, how much it costs and where you can get it. What most readers don't know is that the "fashion police" at Women's Health don't pick out the outfits that are featured in the section. They dress the models according to the highest bidder. The fashion industry pays magazines to say that their products are popular in order to make them popular.

The article talked about how radical the women's feminist movement was and the way the femenists went about spreading their message. Some of the feminist's radical behavior gave them a "bad wrap". They were a group of women fighting for what they believed, and I admire that...but I think we should focus on equal rights for ALL, not just one specific group.
