For example, “Master the Sex-th Sense” an article solely devoted to every sense in sex; touch, sight, sound, scent, taste. Throughout the two page article a man and woman are shown half clothed and fondling each other. Each sense category gives detailed foreplay and sex games for women to perform for and on their man. For example, “Suck on an ice pop, then suck on his pop. It’ll be cool (literally) for him to feel a brand new temperature.” Key words are used in this raunchy phrase, his and him. In all of the examples there is nothing listed for both sexes to take part in for equal satisfaction. Making it apparent to women that it is their job to perform these crazy sex acts in order to please a man. In addition, a small blurb is placed on an article about the anthropology of men, “What time he wants you the most, it’s sex o’clock.” According to a study 65% of men say at 10 p.m. So not only do women need to do certain acts to please a man, they also need to do it at time when he wants too. With this being said, Cosmo makes women feel that their role in sex is less important and their sexual desires and needs are
Advertising is form of communicating and using methods into getting the buyers to purchase a product. Cosmopolitan has done a good job in determining what readers and listeners want and need. Cosmopolitan is a magazine directed toward young people who have low self- confidence and low self-esteem and also who care about health and appearance. As Fowles said, “By giving form to people’s deep-lying desires and picturing states of being that individuals privately yearn for.” (Fowles, 137). All advertisers know who and what readers wish or long for.
An explanation is a set of statements constructed to describe a set of facts which clarifies the causes, contexts, and consequences of those facts. This description may establish rules or laws, and may clarify the existing ones in relation to any objects, or phenomena examined. The first piece Bush Remarks Roil Debate over Teaching of Evolution written by Elizabeth Bumiller, is an explanation. Bumiller addresses her points using facts rather than opinions, she also says, “Recalling his days as Texas governor, Mr. Bush said in the interview, according to a transcript, “I felt like both sides ought to be properly taught.”(2), this signifies that this is an explanation and not an argument since he sees both sides instead of choosing one. For
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James has been the cause of many debates about whether or not the ghosts are real, or if this is a case of a woman with psychological disturbances causing her to fabricate the ghosts. The story is told in the first person narrative by the governess and is told only through her thoughts and perceptions, which makes it difficult to be certain that anything she says or sees is reliable. It starts out to be a simple ghost story, but as the story unfolds it becomes obvious that the governess has jumps to conclusions and makes wild assumptions without proof and that the supposed ghosts are products of her mental instability which was brought on by her love of her employer
Cosmopolitan is an international magazine for women, and is the best-selling women’s magazine for decades. The notoriously risqué magazine says it is “by women for women.” Also referred as Cosmo, the magazine was published in 1886 in the United States as a family magazine, and eventually became what we know of as a women’s magazine during the late 1960’s.

...my Malkin, Kimbrlie Wornian, and Joan Chrisler, argues that women magazines more than men magazines makes the individual feel inadequate due to the appearance of articles relating to diet, exercise, and cosmetic surgery. Conversely, today's women are health conscious and are looking for ways to balance their health, beauty, and their everyday lives. In conclusion magazines just simply play the role of giving the individual the option of being informed. Also, magazines that appeal to men do not always appeal to women and that is why content differs.
As shown in the table, the income levels of women in Essence are double the amount of those in Cosmo, which means that the targeted audience is a big age difference. In table 6, it can be seen that the sexuality of women is different in both magazines. Essence conveys an approach that is more of a feminist saying that women can be independent and they don’t need to have a man. It also advises women to not stay in a relationship where their partner is unfaithful. Meanwhile, in Cosmo women are advised to be the complete opposite. Essence does not accept infidelities and Cosmo advices women to weigh out their options and possibly give their partner a second
...ationships, appearance and how good she is at sex. These magazines subjectify women as merely sex toys to pleasure a man. And guess who owns the company, a man. Sex Sells, but it shouldn’t because girls and women are more than just sex objects.
As stated in our proposal, for our final project Maggie and I wanted to respond to female beauty standards in the modern United States. We began by perusing a number of Cosmopolitan magazines (I purchased thirteen issues from the last year or two on the internet). As I read the magazines, I was struck by how overwhelming it was to have advertisement after advertisement thrown in my face, each showing the ‘perfect’ woman. Coincidentally, none of these women looked anything like people I actually know and see on a day to day basis. And it’s not just in magazines. We are bombarded with beauty advertisements constantly—billboards, posters, commercials, online, etc. As I flipped through the magazine, I felt almost judged. All these images of ‘beautiful’ women staring at me from the page, and I could not help but see all the ways I was not like them. After looking through all thirteen magazines, I also realized that the women in the ads did not even seem like people to me—they seemed more like things. They had been reduced to objects to be gawked at and envied. I considered how best to capture these emotions in an artwork and eventually settled on a collage. The busy-ness of it visually I feel expresses the feeling of being overwhelmed and the eyes the feeling of judgement. By cutting the faces apart, I hoped to capture the objectification of the women by reducing them to pieces.
In discussions of whether America is winning the war on terrorism, on controversial issue has been if the United States have been winning the war on terror. On the one hand, James Fallows argues The United States Is Winning The War On Terrorism. On the other hand, Seth Jones contends that Al Qaeda Has Not Been Defeated. My view on the subject is I believe that The United States is Winning the battle in some places and maybe winning the battle on Al Qaeda, but I believe that there will still be acts of terrorism around the world.
The point of English classes in high schools all around the world is to read passages, books, and article with the purpose of increasing teenagers’ literacy. Students who read the same books in high school only have a limited range of vocabulary and literacy. This would lead to them having lower IQ levels and a low range of vocabulary. I believe that English schools should incorporate a wider range of texts and passages in order to make teenagers all around the world smarter.
How exactly does having a positive attitude best respond to conflict? According to Remez Sasson,”It brings optimism into your life, and makes it easier to avoid worries and negative thinking...you see the bright side of life” (Sasson). This shows that if thinking in a positive way, all the worries and negativity during tough challenges will fade away. During
Since the beginning of time, humans are constantly attempting to create new forms of technology to make life easier. As time progresses, technology becomes exponentially more advanced. Only one hundred years ago cars were on the cutting edge, today they suggest ideas for fully electric, self-driving cars. Technology not only makes life easier, it also helps save lives. With today’s medical advancements, patients are able to receive organ transplants and countless other procedures. In addition, advanced communication networks allows international business to soar to new levels. Although technology has a many positive aspects, there are several negatives. An increase in technology use in children causes conflict with their social learning abilities.
Researchers Bradley Morris and Shannon Zentall performed on experiment on children asking them to illustrate pictures. The children that had been praised during the experiment had begun to focus on errors or mistakes they had made or were making in their drawings. The kids ranging from 4 to 5 surprisingly were not tricked by trophies. The kids shockingly were correct in figuring out which kids were skillful and those who had a hard time.(Merryman)
