My favorite quote that Goffman used is the one where he says "women smile more and more expansively then men which arrangements appear to carry over into advertisements."(10) I agree with what he's saying very much so because of a few different reasons. I think it is much more appealing for a women to smile in an add or advertisement then a man to smile. I believe that the man is there to show more of a protective role and a women to show more of a welcoming role

My favorite quote from Bordo is when she says " They know,no matter what there parents,teachers and clergy or telling them,that inner beauty is a big laugh in this culture."(154) I think she is 100 percent correct in saying this. Even though are friends families are telling us that it doesn't matter how we look but what' on the inside that counts is true,but most people only see the outside. This can be hard for many people, because people judge you before they get to even no you. It happens to everyone and even happens to me that's why this quote was so significant to me because even though we are told it doesn't matter how we look we know that that's what a lot of people go by.

Visual image has changed very much so in advertisements. Women are now shown it a lot more sexual then they use to I believe. Its gone from women wearing full outfits from them being able to show practically everything in order to appeal to men. It also shows women as an object and not as a person which I think is inappropriate. In most advertisement women are only used for there sex appeal and really not for anything else .I don't think the role in advertisement in men have changed as drastically as the role of women have though. They still make the men out to be this tough macho guy most of the time to make it feel like if you buy this product you can be this tough macho guy.
