An inquiry into how popular images might effect our perceptions of things.

Write an argument supporting or refuting the statement below.



The comic book heroines shown above are drawn in such a way, with their revealing costumes and unrealistic proportions, that they become nothing more than images of adolescent sexual fantasies. By portraying women in this way it helps to form the idea that a woman is merely an object whose value lies in her ability to attract and please men. These images help to form the ideas of both young male and female readers towards women and contribute to the view that women are inferior to men and therefore deserve a seondary status in society.

Make sure your argument is organized and is supported by a logical stream of thought. In your opening paragraph outline your position, in the second one support your position, and in the third convince us why you are right! Find an image from the internet to use as visual evidence in support of your argument.

The women and the comics

In my opinion the women in the comics it's not a sexual simbol, ok the clothes are a little bit shorter, but is not a motive to be worry, because the kids that read don't have enough maturity. And the women in the comics is not inferior than the men , because some comics books the super hero is a woman, and this make the woman important, and she has the same capacity than the man to save the world. Comeback about the clothes, the teenagers that have more maturity can think that the woman is a sexual symbol, because of the body and the shorter clothes, and the girls that see the woman in the comics can start think that the super hero (woman) is more thin or more beautiful than the real woman, and can start with a sickness that the woman is perfect and the real one is not, and start to have a diet or something like that, and ths make the girl sick.
