Final Class Post

After completing the final class project, I have learned much about women in advertisements. Indeed, it was very interesting learning and finding out so much about such topic. I enjoyed it much and never ever thought about women images prior to the course. This course has taught me so much and the project has really made me take notice to advertisements that consists of women. Indeed, I have already caught myself pointing out messages that conveys in ads. Today, I came across a very interesting ad in last month's issue of Cosmo Girl that portrayed a teen girl who was dressed up in business attire with a briefcase which gave off the message of the "educated girl" the ad was for Summer SAT preparation and generally portrayed college and valued education. Without a doubt, if it wasn't for the course and especially the final project I would have surely ever noticed such thing. Again, I'm more than happy to what I have learned in the course and I'm sure my awareness to gender issue will stick to me forever.

Response to Britt's Post.
This course is surely an asset for all of us.I have been reading the newspaper and magazines keeping the Gender and Communication course in my mind. Even during the conversation among my friends and relatives, I try to keep the thoughts of this course.
