This strategy stands to date by exploiting many flaws that young women exhibit and capitalizing on them by creating the illusion that if they by the subject’s products they some way parallel the success of the personnel used by the marketer. A recent case suiting this context is the Vanity Fair Holly Wood 2016 magazine cover. The magazine’s cover featured a trifold cover image that was shot by Annie Leibovitz ...

The media have given the depiction of female-instigated violence a partial coverage, and the belief has been otherwise. In fact, the reporting and the perception of the society have been oriented to male- instigated violence and this construed thought has had a place in the media reporting parlance. Based on this desertion, I have realized a series of shortfalls that have often marred reporting and coverage of female instigated violence. Therefore, I can attest that the partiality in this reporting has construed the social mindsets that male propagates most violence, and the public belief has been that female aggressions ...

According to Fowles (1998, p. 1), “there is always the danger that as in the case of sex, if the appeal is too blatant public ...

Donna Barstow, a political cartoonist who draws for publications such as Psychology Today, and who claims to draw for The New Yorker and other such publications, has a very unique yet impenetrable style. In her cartoons "Arnold as Baby-daddy for Father's Day" and "Nobody is Born a Conservative," a strange amalgam of technique, style and depiction of humor is used to attempt at political discourse. However, it must be ultimately stated that her cartoons are devoid of clear message, crudely drawn, and obtuse to the point of uselessness. These two cartoons, after careful analysis, seem to attempt at analysis and statement but instead ...
