Images of our Lives

I took a few days off last week to go to Cornerstone's annual conference on domestic violence and sexual abuse. While there are many, many aspects of violence, abuse and sexuality I would love to share with you, my friend and fellow social worker Nikki summed one point up really well. I saw a film called "Killing us Softly" in a Women's and Gender study class a couple years ago, and it focused on how images of women and sex are used in advertising all kinds of items. Sex sells, but at what price? Check out Nikki's blog here: it will open your eyes to a whole new world of twisted advertising influencing our society.

How's that for a teaser?
