Sexual Images in Media

This Guess commercial is an example of a "sexual image in media". The values being portrayed in this video are "Women as sexual objects", although it is advertising clothing, the girl has little to no clothing on at first and by the end she has nothing at all on. In my opinion, she is really advertising her body which could mean another value of "women would sell sex whenever they could".


This YSL commercial is an example of a "sexual image in media". It is advertising for a mans cologne, and it is saying "if you wear this cologne, the girls will follow you". I think that the values being portrayed in this video are "male domination over women is natural and sexy" because he wears this cologne the girl in the video will so whatever he wants for him. Another value portrayed in this commercial is "women would sell sex whenever they could" because he goes to get a hair cut and she cuts his hair, which is assuming that he payed her to do this. 


This Gucci commercial is an example of "sexual image in media", by portraying the values of "innocence as the last frontier" because in this video it shows the girl imagining what could happen, but she does not do it. The commercial is called "Gucci guilty" because she is guilty of thinking about doing these things.

Journal Entry #1- Media Taking Over our Lives

The first point I thought was important was, that we spend 10-12 hours a day with media. I find this interesting because I did not think that on average I would spend that much time with media. That is half of your day spent with media, so that would be on average half of your life.This relates to myself because I know that someday I probably do spend 10-12 hours with media and just can not keep track. Another point that I found interesting was, that media can be beautiful and also dangerous. I find this interesting because I never thought that media could be all that dangerous, because in my opinion it is mostly just advertising, and I would never think that advertising could be dangerous. Other points that were interesting to me in the videos were, the questions about media. The first question that I copied down was, "What techniques are used to attract my attention?" I found this question interesting because there are a lot of advertisements that do attract my attention, a
