The idea that women and men are treated equally is a topic that has been debated for many thousands of years and we still don't have the answer for it. In the following reading by Jean Kilbourne called "Two ways a woman can get hurt", talks about how many topics that describe women are treated and viewed upon is described and it gives much back story on how we choose to see it fit. Since advertisements are used on just about everything these days, people see that there are no limits on what message people can spread with a single idea and how will other can react to them. There are examples in the reading on how advertisement posters send the wrong message despite that they were intended to give completely different topics to the public and that's because are free to have their own opinions. The whole idea of the reading is diverse since the world we live in is run at different speeds that people are accustomed to and since people have can think whatever they like, its easy to make up just about anything. What we do with our ideas is ether spread them or keep them to ourselves but people who work in the media business need to cope up with ideas all the time so they get desperate and make mistakes. Upon the examples shown in the reading, its clear that there is something to look at because most of the examples show that sexuality in our modern era is shown to have no limits and over time, any idea that seems wrong and not right can become normal in the future. I'ts important to try and make some type of decision whether whats important to show in our regular propaganda because we never know who might be reading it and feel different about it. Since we live in a country that allows the freedom of the press and media, the rights and wrongs keep changing constantly and we all have to be responsible to except what we want to read in the paper and see in the street billboards every morning.
