“Sex sells” is what the media, today, portrays as what is right when advertising an ad or commercial. We see this in the Kilbourne videos. I think that she a lot of valid points and that she spoke the truth, although she sometimes joked about a few points. A difference in gender is portrayed all […]

I think the most obvious shortcoming in American elementary and secondary education is the lack of individualized hands-on learning available to students.
