How, according to Jean Kilbourne, does advertising help create a popular culture that corrupts relationships and weakens marriages? Be specific. Do you agree with her? To what extent? Be specific. What can we (which also means each one of you, of course, do about it as media professionals? As consumers?How does Monday, April 27, sound to you? It's the beginning of the last week before finals.

COMM 390: Paper No. 2
We'll negotiate a due date for this toward the end of April. (There will also be a final, but it'll be an off-the-top-of-the-head thing that's essentially an elaboration on "Question 2A.") Here's the question for the paper now:

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.

I found this by just typing in "ads" in google images. so. gross.

Since Katie already posted the Dove one, here's another one that generally is trying to promote good things.

And yet, I think Kilbourne might have a cow since Wolverine, or really his photoshopped biceps, is the opening celeb…causing average males to have a bad body image? But maybe he can’t help it since he’s a mutant?
