Women in Pop Culture Discussion

How are women depicted in popular culture today? The expression sex sells can readily be validated by looking in virtually any magazine, those geared for either men or women.

Look in five different types of magazines to find five images of how a woman is depicted. What is the purpose of the image/ad? How is the woman being depicted? What are the intentions of the figure? And how do you, the viewer, feel towards this woman and/or the intentions of the image/ad? 100-300 words
