Use Somebody
All three of the short essays I’ve chosen to analyze deal with people being used for their race or gender. Aburawa discusses the scanty advertisements in some countries (like America) using women’s sex appeal to sell items. Pozner talks about Tyra using ethnicities for various contests.

This gave many same sex couples or infertile couples many opportunities to adopt the abandoned female babies. Now that there are very little female Chinese girls, they fear the race will be greatly reduced in the coming decades. This is an example of using women for their bodies being wrong, not just morally, but also by population standards as
