Killing us softly


This video is generally mention the original version of killing us softly movie. Jean Kilbourne was giving a speech about the movie she made and topic of killing us softly. She talks about the differences between men and women. She also talk about presenting style of women and men. She explain the difference while she shows the advertisements. There are many advertisements which show men's muscularity and women's sensitiveness and neediness. We can see the gender differences in the advertisements. Most of them show women as an object and women were innocent. This showing styles in advertisements begin with young ages. We can see teenagers teens and childs who were under the press of men's power. The violence to women become inevitable. Raping, forcing and voyeurism to women will increase with these kind of advertisements and films.

Presentation group 2

There was a film which called Truman Show. I found the presentation very enjoyable because there were many mini videos which are in the movie and they made fun. Also, I understand that the topic of the movie is effects of Reality TV on people. A man named Truman is shown on the reality TV and people watch him. There is disturbance of private life. I think presenting style of my friends was very confident. Also I realize their equipment that they bring to the class were very useful and they made their presentation easier then us.
