SElfe Summary Corrina

In Selfe's essay she simply believes that the world of American advertisements is basically blinded by the reality of what America really is. America is believed to be the melting pot, the place for all races, all genders, everyone to come together and live happily. However most of our advertisements show "mighty white" as Selfe calls them. A happy white "perfect" family. In reality America is filled with people from all over the world. She also shows ads that have strict gender rules. The men leading there families, the women in the kitchen. Now a days it can be the complete opposite. While I feel that today many ads aren't as biast as they used to be, many times the hidden messages is still a little off of what reality is. All I say to that is we must be smarter than the ads. Or being the next generation to change things we must portray America truthfully.
