Cindy Crawford once said, “I wish I looked like Cindy Crawford.” This quote stuck out to me in this Killing Us Softly 4 speech. Reading the quote you can literally tell what it means: Cindy Crawford doesn’t look like herself in the pictures that are in the magazines or advertisements. Jean Kilbourne has discussed women issues with advertisements four different times, and she says it’s only getting worse. There are 250-billion-dollar industry, over 3,000 ads every single day we are exposed to, and we will spend two years watching T.V commercials. Ads are on T.V, on billboards, in offices, schools, and much more. Females are portrayed to be perfect and nothing less when being on ads. Kilbourne is discussing in Killing Us Softly 4 that us as females are looking at these ads and losing self-esteem. The women in magazines have no lines, blemishes, freckles, scares, or pours. Females believe they must put time, effort, money to be beautiful and that if we fail to do so we are ugly and feel guilty because we are not perfect.
This is my new paragraph I took from last fall. This was my introduction paragraph for a paper on females in AD’s. With in the revising and editing, I look out unnecessary words that made it seem like I was rambling on. There were a few facts I had added in there which did not need to be, therefore I took them out. I had a couple grammar errors I needed to change. I also moved around some of the facts so it went more and order and wasn’t all over the place.
