CHOOSE ONE IMAGE FROM THE INTERNET. It can be an advertising image or photo from Facebook or what ever you choose. But you will need to be able to culturally analyze these images (by race, gender or class or a combination of those) so keep that in mind when making your choice. PART 1: IMPORT THE IMAGE INTO YOUR ASSIGNMENT DOCUMENT Download, cut-paste the image into your document. PART 2: WRITE A CULTURAL ANALYSIS OF THESE IMAGES Much in the same way we saw images deconstructed in “KILLING US SOFTLY”, (or by your Professor in this course), deconstructin detail the image or message you chose. Why did you choose it? What signs or meanings can be interpreted from the image (blatant and subtle?) How is the image positive (has prosocial value?) and how is it negative (stereotypes?) Who is the target audience for the image? Who benefits from its existence? Who is disadvantaged by it? If you were to create an image for the same product, how could you do it and make it positive? FORMAT: Double-space your paper and use 1 inch margins all around (makes it easier to read).
