Images through our lenses 

        When scrolling through many many advertisements containing powerful images the one that I just couldn't get off my mind was this particular ad from Burger King. The ad is an image of a girl with her mouth wide open getting ready to eat the sandwich. More importantly in big letters it reads "It'll Blow Your Mind", stating exactly the way they feel towards women and how they think society portrays them. It is aimed to draw you in because of the sexual appeal it contains. Which is the opposite creating an image for women that we as women have been trying to remove. This ad is amongst many others ads that portray this imagery.

     The Image I have chosen for journalist images is Richard Drews image of the Falling Man from September 11. This image creates a sense of various emotions, at first look I am shocked to see what is going on but then I am deeply saddened. The image portrays the feelings of many on that day and shows the effects this tragedy had on many.

Toxic Sludge? 

       When researching the many legislations that are being proposed or have currently been passed the one that caught my eye the most was the "INSPIRE Women Act". This bill was first introduced on January 3, 2017 and was eventually passed on February 28, 2017. The main sponsor of this act was Barbara Comstock, a representative of the U.S. Congress Virginia's 10th District. She is a known republican and from what it seems has been trying to get her name known since 2000. She has been a strong advocate behind science and technology which explains her involvement with the passing of this bill. The reason I chose this bill was because it sways away from the negativity from many others and the idea behind it is to "inspire women', as well this bill has no funding behind it. Many of the other bills are funded by power hungry leaders and have many intentions behind them being passed.
