  1. My favorite topic that we have covered is definitely advertising. Considering i want to go into marketing and advertising it gave me some good insight on what the business is about and how things go. I really enjoy marketing and figuring out how to make a company better, also making ads for companies seems very fun to do. I thought it provided good information that could potentially help me in the future.

    1. My favorite topic we have covered so far has been advertising as well. It was really interesting to see that there may be some things we unconsciously think about every product we buy. When the people selling the products know what the "reptilian hot buttons" are for certain things they can make it more likely for a person to buy their product. It has also been interesting to study what Logos, Ethos, and Pathos are and how they're used in advertisements.

  2. My favorite topic that our class would have to be the gender gap. We live in it every single day. Society puts a stereotype on males and females that males should be "tough" and "strong" while the females should be "sensitive" and "nurturing". Society also shows with the gender gap that if a guy cries he would be considered as "weak" while the female would be a "tomboy" if shes not sensitive. It just shows we will always be labeled as a stereotype by our outer appearance.

  3. My favorite topic that we have done so far was probably the stereotypes for males and females. I found it interesting that men really think that they must be so tough and hard to survive in the world. I even did my own research to see if it was a biological thing about the genders and how they act emotionally, physically, and anything else. I found that it was true that most of a males tough behavior and aggressiveness was with them since they were born, it was a hormonal thing. I researched this because I do not remember a single time in my childhood learning about how boys and girls are different and I also never tried to copy what other girls were doing. I usually found things I liked from the toy stores or watched coed shows like Barney and leaned towards Baby Bop just because I liked her pink and purple items. I still think that society could have influenced a fraction of behavior though.
