Just to clarify everything, I have asked Ms Orpen few questions today.

Somebody mentioned that our advertisements don't have to be done by first day of next term, however, Ms Orpen said that they actually are due for the first day of next term and they have to be saved in the CD with our powerpoint presentation.

After spending many hours researching about children and advertisements, I have finalized what I am going to do my oral on. I am going to compare the advertisements in the past with current advertisements (Nanzi has some old magazines at home.) I found the contrast between advertisements from two different time period very interesting. On the other hand, it made me feel sad to see how children are portrayed as sexual icons nowadays.

The second topic I will focus on is Bratz dolls. I will link this topic from my previous topic (how children are being sexualized in the advertisements) and talk about how small toys, such as Bratz dolls and Barbies, can influence children. After this topic, Nanzi will carry on with her topic which is closely related to mine.

I must say that I am really looking forward to this oral and I hope that our research will be worthwhile.
