Directions:
1. Students are to write a (full) 2-3 page paper discussing the
article “Faking It: Sex, Lies and Women’s Magazines”.
2. The first page should include a discussion regarding your
opinions and thoughts on the article you read. Be specific and
use examples from what you read when responding.
3. The second page should include examples in
current
Women’s magazines of the problems revealed and discussed
by the various editors and writers interviewed in the article.
For example: look for examples that have the small print that
says “names have been changed” in the articles you are reading.
Look for
exaggerated
claims regarding sex and it’s
impact/benefit on health and beauty. Look for quotes from “real
women” that don’t sound like how a real person might speak
about sex.
Make sure to tell me the magazine you found the article in. The
issue you are using, the name of the column or article and its
author. Give me
specific details
when describing the article(s)
you are discussing.
The assignment must:

I am not looking for a list on the second page…please keep your
writing in formal essay format.
