Focusing on the picture with the young woman lying against the man, this picture is posed like this to make women think that they need to not only look like her, but act like her as well to get the man. As Killbourne states, "There are two identical women looking adoringly at the man in the ad, but he isn't looking at either one of them. . . Clearly the way to get beautiful women is to ignore them, perhaps mistreat them" (272).
As adults we owe it to children to ensure their safety against sexual predators among us, online and off. There are many programs at schools and at community centers that makes children aware of some dangers to look for when approached by someone you don’t know. Some things these places can’t teach our children and so that is where we come in as parents.
