the Spotless Mind, I started to assume that the movie would be played out as a typical love storyline. However, that all changed as the “love” story turned into a dramatic element. The writer of this movie set Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet), two individuals that dated in the past, to reconnect not knowing of their previous affairs. In this twist of a story, Charlie Kaufman cultivated this movie with reoccurring themes, which included diving into the mind and conscious. This…

“When I grow up, I wanna be famous, I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies…” These words begin the chorus of the infamous song “When I Grow Up” sang by the pop girl group, the Pussycat Dolls, that dominated radio stations in the early 2000s. The song’s lyrics symbolize a group of women who have made it to the big leagues by being sexy and are relishing in their wealth and success.

Even after the invention of written language, pictures have retained their singular power as the most effective form of emotional communication for the masses. In advertising, a picture truly is worth a thousand words. And, photographs are among the most potent images of all.

In order to be accepted into the “perfect” world, the advertising and media world, one must look the part. One must have the perfect curves, perfect posture, and look like a Barbie doll. In Aaron Devor’s article Gender Role Behaviors and Attitudes, it is clearly stated as to what the expectations are in order to achieve the female, and male roles.

In 1978, despite the passage of legislation to promote equal pay, women’s position in the UK was still worse than in Italy, France, Germany, or the Benelux countries in 1972. However, The Act has now been mostly superseded by Part 5, chapter 3, of the Equality Act 2010. The Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider…
