The conversation about the roles advertising and the media play in shaping and normalcy

The conversation moved from societal pressures to recent discussions we have had

in class about the roles advertising and the Thomas Sabo Charms media play in shaping who we are and our perceptions of beauty and normalcy. Several students recalled the images of men and women kissing in the slide show. We pulled up the slide with the definition of homophobia and looked again at the part of it that refers to a word they have never heard before--heterosexism: "Homophobia is further reinforced by the biased belief that heterosexuality is the only legitimate form of human intimacy. Heterosexism is reinforced again and again in popular music, the media, movies, TV shows, and advertising." The students easily referred to many advertisements we examined as a class in our Media and Culture unit that illustrate this.
