Introduction to feminism:Case study- Everyday Sexism

1) Laura Bates started the Everyday Sexism project because she realised that it was a  recurring  issue in her and almost every other women's life. Until speaking out about her experiences with others about the  sexual harassment  she gets, Laura thought it was normal due to everyone shutting her down and saying that women are equal now. However, she researched and found information that contrasts with the statement of 'women being equal' and decided to make website which enables people, men and women, from around the world to share their experiences. 2) The project links to the concept of  post-feminism  because it  unveils  the different forms of  sexual harassment  women get on a daily basis and how they experience this during a normal days  routine,  e.g. at their workplace or on their way home. In  Western societies  things are still  developing  and they still live in  patriarchy. ...

Image
Connotation The connotations of this advert is to promote that  brand  "Reebok". The character is more dominant, because its a large  image  of his face. This advert also shows a quote, which could suggest that its about  inspiration  and aimed at  inspiring  the  younger generation. Denotation The characters face is shown to show his  dominance .- he is looking straight into the camera to  engage with the audience.  There is also an image showing fingerprints, so his  identity is revealed. Target audience I believe that this advert is aimed at  younger males- teens and youths, who are into sports.  This is because the font of the writing is  unorthodox , so its almost  rebellious . This idea relates to the younger generation. It also shows the  brand identity  "Reebok". This brand is well known. The  typography  is  serif.  This is done to show how both the ...
