Thank You

To be honest I took this class as an elective and I didn't think any more of it when I registered for the class, but now I'm so thankful that I did. This class has been eye opening for me about issues I don't even know existed and has made me aware of how much just an ad can effect individuals everywhere. I will never forget watching "A Girl Like Me." I hope that I'm able to carry the knowledge and awareness I've gained from this class along with me in my career and correct the mistakes advertisers are making with stereotypes, gender portrayals and sex issues. Thank you for a very insightful class this semester.

Broken Hearted

After viewing A Girl Like Me on YouTube.com my heart breaks that these girls don't know how beautiful they are. Who is raising or influencing these young girls to make them believe white skin is more beautiful than dark skin? I just want to wrap my arms around them and tell them a million times you are gorgeous! I would love to know how we can reverse the negative portrayals these girls seem themselves as.
