A. Find and bring in a full- bodied magazine picture(or video) of a male TV, movie, or sports star from the 1940's-60's. At the same time, find and bring in an analogous star from the 1980's or 90's.
B. Do the same as above with advertisements featuring females. 1950's,,, 1990's
C. Examle from advertising (a print ad, a synopsis of a TV commercial, ec.) in which masculinity, or man hood, is refured to explicitly- litterally or ironically. Eplain what you feel the people who made the ad are trying to do; specifiacally, how are the advertisers attempting to ise masculinity, and gender, to sell their product? what assumptions so the advertisers seem to be making about those who will be influenced by the ad?

In the picture advertising for Duncan Quinn (a line of clothing) it shows a man choking a half naked woman. In this picture, to me, it is saying, be the stronger more dominate one with the ladies, wear DQ to establish that. Which is pretty wrong, just looking at the picture as you can see, in the link.The advertisers probably were thinking that men think it's okay to be dominate, esspecially towards woman, and being in style with a new suit if you were a buisness man helps say, "I'm in charge" if you think about it. It's pretty sickening, that picture...
