Independent Study 1

Content:
1. Since we talked at my advisory metting, about 5,6 weeks ago. I spent every day instead of reading, reading a magazine for a hour.

2. Posted Evidence (Example: For a college class, take a photo of your transcript and upload it).


3. Complete the LIA:
Literal

(a) I Atiana Price affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.

(b) Explanation of what you completed.
I have gotten magazines since 2008. I spent an hour looking at every magazine. I noticed what was in the magazine, the articles in the magazine. With the magazines, I took out ads that caught my eye and wrote what i thought about the ads. With some of the ad's I noticed how the ad's have changed since 2008 till now. I noticed the difference between the girls on the cover and how many photo shopped covers they have. I also watched my an episode of America's Next Top Model. I analyzed the pictures that the girls took at the end of each challenge and tried to figure out if they corrected any of the photos. 

Interpretive
I spent an hour or more picking apart Seventeen magazine. I noticed what they did different what they did the same, and i wrote a half page summary about it. I read all the articles in the magazine and thought about what it was that pointed out a specific group. For example, an article talked about sex. Seventeen magazine is not just for seventeen year olds. that means the younger girls think its okay and are reading more then they should be.

Applied
This shows me was exactly girls see and what may make them feel bad about there bodies. It shows why girls would have self esteem problems with all the photo shopped work that are in magazines.
