I had the chance to watch the video "Killing Us Softly" by media and culture critic Jean Kilbourne. I really enjoyed this video and found it to be very unique and interesting. Throughout this video, I found myself thinking more and more about advertisements in our society today. Before watching this video I didn't pay much attention towards advertisements. I just thought of advertisements as another way of getting ones attention towards certain products.
There were several interesting topics on advertisements throughout this video. For example, the topic of women and the effect they have on every advertisement they are on. I fount this topic on women to be very interesting due to the fact that I realized the amount of effect they actually have on an advertisement. Women seem to have more effect on advertisement than a man does. The reason for why this was were also very effective. There were also some facts explained in this video that I have never thought of learning. The author, Jean Kilbourne also did a great job of making this video even better by having some comedy in it. The comedy in this video was funny but then again everything she said was very true about advertisements today.
In overall, this was a very good video. I enjoyed watching it and I recommend it to anyone elso who hasn't.
