Change of Direction....

After reading the chapter I'm not sure if dividing the age group of women up is really going to work. Seniors do not really apply to what they are talking about unless i stretch it to basically say they are enforcing ageism.

Might be easier we all just pick a category of Media and then describe and give examples of how women are affected by this type of media.

I thought we could focus on how non-diverse Media really is. what the "norm" is for all types of media as a way to connect them together.

Let me know what you think. I honestly don't think there is a way for my to do seniors so... Just let me know, I think we would have more flexibility with this anyway.

I will be do little children. I think I will focus my research on the television and toys for kids.

We will be meeting with Lily before class on Thursday at 3pm!

alrighty....

lets get it down here what types of media we have to choose from and whatnot so we are prepared for the meeting.

I guess mine would be magazines for my age group, and I have Redbook and Cosmo which a lot of times address those, as well as self...

thursday right after class I have registration and opening dinner for the Quest project. So...that doesnt look good. What is the date for our presentation? I guess we could try to meet this weekend. Lets at least stay a minute after class today to get a meeting time down!

This week is insane for me!! If we meet at all the only time I have available would be Thursday after class. Other than that I am booked solid.

I hope we can meet Thursday if not then just fill me in on what occurs through the blog.

alright,

why don't we find a night that is good for all of us to meet this week....i found the easiest way to do this is to ask for the times when you cannot meet... so from 5-10 monday-friday, what times can you all NOT meet.. that way we can meet at the time that is free to all...

just comment your unavailable times on this post!

and before we meet, its clear that we have the teen and childhood categories left for those who have not picked an area to research

I think I would like to do the teen/college age group and try to focus on pressure to look "hot", and all of the pressure there is from society and media for young girls to look and act a certain way.
