Is advertising as terrible as Berger and Kilbourne seem to make it out to be? Kilbourne says the portrayal of women in advertising has a negative impact on society and societal relationships. Is this accurate, or does she give advertising too much credit by exaggerating its impact on society? Throughout the course of this class have your views changed regarding advertising? Positively or negatively? If so, how?Let's do it as one question. I'll have you post the "Question 2A" reflective stuff to the blog.

About Me
- Pete
- Springfield (Ill.), United States
- I'm a retired English, journalism and cultural studies teacher at Springfield College in Illinois (acquired by Benedictine University and subsequently closed). I coordinate jam sessions for the "Clayville Pioneer Academy of Music" at Clayville Historic Site and the Prairieland Strings dulcimer club, and I sing in the choir and the contemporary praise team at Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield. On Hogfiddle I post links and video clips for our sessions and workshops on the mountain dulcimer (a.k.a. "hog fiddle"), as well as research notes on folklore and cultural studies, hymnody and traditional Anglo-Celtic and Scandinavian music. I also posted assignments and readings in my interdisciplinary humanities classes. The Mackerel Wrapper (now on hiatus), carried assignments and readings for my mass comm. students. I started teaching b/log when I chaired SCI-Benedictine's assessment committee, and reopened it as the privatization of public schools grew increasingly troubling and closer to home.

Is advertising as terrible as everybody seems to make it out to be? What would the world be like without advertising? Explain your thoughts.
I can't think of any other way to refine my question. Just a broad question, and I suppose we could just take that question any way we want it - as long as it gets an idea and a point across.
Do you believe advertising affects society as Berguer or Kilbourne say it does? And if so, how?
in 100 words or less explain your feelings of this class and what did you get out of Kilbourne and Burger? Did it affect the way you watch listen or read any type or media?
Kilbourne feels that the portrayal of women in advertising has a negative impact on society and societal relationships. Is this accurate or does she give advertising too much credit by exaggerating it's impact on society?
