Week eight


  1. The topic of this article is about violence on campuses.

  2. The main idea of this article is preventing violence, better security on campus,and ways to identify early trouble signs.
  3. make students not to feel socially isolated,try to teach people that using guns is not the best way to solve things, to install more cameras, swipe cards to access buildings.
  4. in my opinion, there is not enough security on campus . for example there are few cameras. and their are no security guard. however nyit does not need a lot security because their are a lot of help for students all over the campus. Clubs are also helpfull so students can socialize and feel comfortable.

Week Seven

The dove self esteem comercial made its perfect point, its message clearly stated human perception of beauty : longated neck, perfect skin , eye brows lifted ,propotion of the shoulder are distorted (decreased in size).
My opinion continue to be the same , the media try to bring women BODY AND FACE IMAGE to PERFECTION.

Week six

The main idea of this article is the potrayal of women in the media.

Women image in television and magazines:

*Actrices become younger,taller,and thinner.

*Air-brushed

Women standard of beauty being imposed on women.

Women and their body parts sell everything from food to cars.

Magazine articles promises if women lose weight they will have perfect marriage, loving children, perfect sex and rewarding carrear.



signal words:

on the one hand, women who are insecure about their images -buy beauty products, new clothes, diet aids.

on the other hand, images of thin women -link to-depression,lossof self esteem, eating dissorders.



5. main reason for barbie doll proportion was to distort women body- perfection of women body as a barbie doll. article says that their is no way a real women built that way would suffer from various diseases.

6.I think that the behavior of human will never change men and women by nature go for the looks dont matter what it is. it will be helpfull if the media can modify women potrayal as perfect to non perfect for example models dont need to be anaraxic to be beautifull. full figured women can also be attractive and sensual. I strongly feel that the media should change some aspects for women. focus more in the beauty of women just not externally but internaly . because without love you cant be happy. every thing becomes just sex. more divorce. pornography.
