As i began my research on how women are portrayed in media i came across through alot of different articles and videos. So many questions popped in my mind, like what does it take in America for a women to be taken seriously? What does it take to be the "perfect' women? Why having 51% of women in the United States we still have only 17% in congress?
Women around the world are being put in stereotypes and labels of how they are suppose to look, act, talk and just how to even think. And most of this things are being influence by the media and how expectations are set for women.
In the video below different people talk about how media all over has impacted women in there every day life.I kept doing more research and i came across this picture of an Burger Kings' advertisement using women as sexually compared to burger buns to how the way they eat there "Hamburgers". This is portrayed in a negative way because not all women are sexually active or have a perfect body.
In my understanding i think they have created this specificc add to persuaide custumers to come eat a delicious burger like the women in the picture. When people see this i would think they will get hungry but at the same time wonder on other things. (sexual) because by the way the women are posing.When other fast food restuarants see this they are going to think about putting sexy women on their adds because people actually payed attention to Burger Kings add and went to go eat.
