media sterotypes

For the last two days we watch two different videos about how men and females are exploded in ads. In the first video was about how girls are mistreated and used to sell products with their bodies (sex sells). And yesterday we watch a video on how the media have such an effluence on how boys and men act violently. The Two videos well to me were sexist and unaccreacted. With the first video the lady would pull up a picture of a little girl with a little boy and she said that it was degrading because the boy was “playing the tough boy roll”. Most of the stuff she said I didt agree with. And the video yesterday was the opposite it had to do with how young men are influenced by violent movies, games and lifestyles. And he went on to say how movies have some part to do with the school shootings they showed. And how black people have a certain roll. Like the way they walk the way they talk as he called it “gangster mentality “. He was stereotyping the different races. For example he said that the white young boys are most likely to shoot up a school and a black person is more likely to rob a liquor store .The two videos did have some similarities though, even though I thought that lady was sexist she did have a good point. Because females are always half naked on TV adds I know if I was a female I would hate watching that. Because when I saw that Calvin Klein adds I couldn't’t look. But Like I said in the begging Sex Sells. And the companies that make the ads are going to keep making money because of Horny comusters. And I do agree with the man when he said everywhere we go we see violent adds or movies. The similarities between theses two movies are that they are both trying to defend they point how one the media degrade males and females and have a big enfulce on the teens growing up who watch and do everything they see on the TV. But these videos are more different then similar. And I think that them two people who did that video should hook up because they both have strong opines about degrading media. But they should though.
