Sex has always been a part of our culture no matter how much we try to deny it. In class we compared two women, the sex symbol from the past and present. Marilyn Monroe was known as an elegant and unattainable lady. Pamela Anderson is known as the perfect Barbie doll and is used as a fantasy for sex. Women are pressured to be sexy and appealing. Sex is everywhere on television, in music, and on fashion magazines. People show only what they want other people to see. It's all about attracting or luring people in, it is almost an illusion. Women try so hard to make you believe one thing and then you find out they are nothing like you thought they were.
Sex is our culture's main interest. Everything in the media is about sex. We see sex everywhere; on TV and in ads. To be sexy is all about attention and everyone craves attention. The American dream is to become famous. To become famous requires you to be sexy in your profession. Whether it be modeling, acting, or singing. Everyone is just obsessed with sex. We can't help it, nor can we stop it.
When you say that sex is our culture's main interest, do you mean that it is also our primary motivation? Is sex behind all of the major decisions we make, or just behind our media output?

ReplyDeleteI believe for most people it is their primary motivation even though they may not realize it. And the people who may not realize it will probably deny that it is their primary motivation. With that said I do not think sex is behind all of our major decisions. Some of them yes, but not all. For example,choosing your college and major is not influenced by sex. Our media output is filled with sex and they make it more important than it really is, making it seem like everyone needs to do it. Kind of like peer pressure.
