My topic that I am thinking about choosing is on rape and abortion. We have recently touched on these topics throught the books that we read. What interest me is the fact that women can get raped and prossible have a child from it, but what if she doesn't want the baby? Can she get an abortion, will she had the abortion payed for from some kind of fund rasier and how can you prove that she really got raped? Do women sometimes put there selfs insituations that could possible lead themselfs in getting raped, if so who's fault is it. How many states are there that allow abortions to be legal? I think that women sometimes are at fault when they get raped, there are possible ways of preventing the situation. Sometimes the person is'nt at fault either, there are bad people out there that will try to take advantage of women when they are most vonerable. I think it would be hard for an organisation to support women for having a abortion if they get raped just because it would be hard to predict if the women really got raped or not. If a women really did get raped I would not blame her for not wanting the child because of everytime you have to look at the baby it could bring up painful memories. Over all I think that this will be a good topic because there will be tons of information about the subject

About My Ad

1) Tell us about the ad you have chosen. Spend some time describing the ad in detail. How does it objectify a male or female? Next briefly identify the intended audience. Go further than identifying young, white women. Use the example that I have provided you with for the writing assignment for the first essay. Discuss how and why that ad targets this audience. Use supporting details from the ad to support your claim.

My ad that i have chosen is from a company called Dolce & Gabbana. The ad is reaching out to men and women to buy their new Beach Wear. This is has a man and women on top of a desk, the man is wearing some swimming trunks while the women is wearing a babying suite. I think it is objectifying both man and women because it had the mans face in the womens chest, while the women is having her chest sticking out to show off. Both of the people in this are very good looking , inshape and tan. This had is intended for both man and women, by the Dolce and Gabbana history they are intending to sell their items at a high price so more likley upper class people are going to buy it. It is just a well known higher upper brand name of all kinds of appeal. This AD is targeting males and females around the ages of 18-28 becuase the people that are modeling the beach wear are around that age and it is just the style that kids are wearing.

Whats New About Me?

Well this is my second semester in college at Missouri Western State Universaty and I Am very excited for it. The winter break that we had seemed like it lasted forever, but it was nice to be able to see all my family members. My sister has two adorable little girls that are just now learning how to talk so I am sure you could just imagine all of the excitement we are having with them. Other then being with family and friends I have been devoteing alot of my time to my MMA fighting. I am having a fight on Jan. 29 in Cameron MO, I am a little nervous for it because the guy that I was schedule to fight has the 205lb title belt in St. Joesph. All through christmas break I was going through his fight films trying to figure out his fighting technics and how to counter them. A week ago the promoter of the fight event called me up and said that I could have a title fight at 185lbs. I was so excited but then I realized how much I was weighing at the time which was a little over 210lbs... so thats a little ways away to go, but i'm up for the challenge. I got a little under two weeks to lose weight and prepare for my new fighter coming from Hamilton Missouri with a 4-0 record and none of the fights have lasted longer then 15secs!!! He has been knocking the apponents out and have broken one of the guys jaw in the processes. Wish me luck on this up coming event
