a)My favorite qoute in goffman was when goffman says,"In our society when a man and a woman collaborate face-to-face in an undertaking the man-it would seem is likely to perform the executive role,provideing only that the one can be fashioned(32).I dont understand this qoute,this qoute is saying how in most commercials or advertisements the man is over powering the woman.The man plays the lead role and that the woman follow.Showing maybe that the man is more inferrior then the woman.I dont believe that a man always has to seem like hes more powerful and superior to the woman ,that he has more power because thats not the case now.Woman and men both have roles now where they can both seem to perform the executive role.

b)Another qoute i found interesting when bordo said"When did perfection become applicable to a human body?( 151).I like this qoute because she is trying to say that no body is perfect.Theirs no such thing as perfection.In the passage she is explaining how looks have taken over woman liposuctions,face-lifts all the plastic surgery thats how obsessed people have become with trying to look perfect.Thats leaveing a bad role model for young girls who have the presure to be perfect perfect body perfect looks.

c)Honoslty i think that goffmans and some of bordos analysis still hold up somewhat today.Goffmans passage was saying how how woman usually show most of the emotion and are more of the acting role.They are less of the main effective roll.This usually isnt true in some cases.Yes the woman still play feminine rolls obviously and some cases the man has to be the overpowering one in the advertisement.In susans case alot of her points still hold up today most girls in commercials have to look perfect.They have to attract the customers and the way they attract is by useing sex cells.To attract the men buyers in most commercials they use a woman selling her sexuality more then so the product but that will attract the man to buy it .Also with woman they use a gorgeous girl which will get the woman to buy the product because they want to resemble the beautiful woman.
