Assignment 6--Image Essay
Some advertising agencies believe in order to attract a regular and sustainable audience, they must alter images which appear in magazines, on Internet sites, and other media outlets. There are many who believe this type of imagery is misleading because it is false advertising and because it creates false beliefs about our society's expectations regarding diet and exercise. Do you think advertising agencies should alter images that appear in the various media they represent? In your essay, take a position on this question. You may write about either of of the two view points given, or you may present a different point of view on the question. Please reference at least two examples from things you watched or read in class. This can deal with the females or males in the media. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position. //Note: The ACT Writing Rubric will be used to score this essay.//
