In Jean Kilbourne's essay "Two Ways A Woman Can Get Hurt," she implemented advertisements that generally would not be deemed acceptable by an average person with moral standards. In other words, she uses advertisements that are very risque. On page 421, one of these risque advertisements displays a man pressing a woman against a wall from behind, and she has her arms wrapped behind him and her head turned up towards the ceiling. The image does not seem to advertise anything, which defeats the purpose of having the ad in the first place. They are not promoting the clothes worn by the man and women in the advertisement, they are promoting the attitude that men do not take no for an answer. The significance of the article is that they are not promoting clothes.
I could not find an article with a graphic included, so I found this graphic instead. It represents what the article written by John Gugie is referring to. In his article "Are Professional Athletes Overpaid?" he writes about how in his opinion, professional athletes salaries are too much for the jobs they do. I believe this image is ineffective in swaying my veiw on this topic. This is because I was already a firm believer that pro athletes are overpaid.
I apologize but I was unable to figure out how to save the thesis exercise as a document, so I will just provide the link to the page. https://classes.uaf.edu/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?tab_id=_2_1&url=%2fwebapps%2fblackboard%2fexecute%2flauncher%3ftype%3dCourse%26id%3d_66520_1%26url%3d
If that did not work, I scored an 8/10 on the exercise.
