In Jean Kilbourne’s video, Killing Us Softly 4, Jean expresses how advertisements have been portraying women as a sex symbol or even as just a typical housewife. She talks about how the advertisements have sold various products by not necessarily selling the product itself, but by using women or men to sell the product for them. Ad agencies have used sex and body image to create a type of selling factor for their product. These selling strategies have shaped the way society views women and how women are treated (Killing Us Softly). When looking at two advertisements for Newport Cigarettes in both Sports Illustrated and Star magazine, we see a variety of differences. The Sports Illustrated issue is from October 26th, 2015 and the Star issue

“Murder begins where self-defense ends.” This quote from Georg Buchner can be used to describe the tragic deaths of three little boys who were rendered defense-less against their attackers. On May 5, 1993 in West Memphis, Arkansas, three young second-grade boys, by the names of Christopher Byers, Steven Branch, and Michael Moore, were brutally murdered after being beaten and hogtied by their own shoelaces. A year later, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley were convicted and sent to prison for this heinous crime.

Throughout all this controversy, evidence, testimony, confessions, and more point towards the three men known as the “West Memphis Three”, to be the real killers.

Jay C. Smith- He was a former high school principle who was convicted of the 1979 murder of 3 people (first off, he was arrested over 7 years later for it). His death sentence was reduced to life in prison. He was let go on Sept. 18, 1992 after the court found out that the prosecution had withheld crucial evidence, calling the states action “egregious” misconduct. Why arrest him 7 years later? What’s the point? You won’t be able to find any evidence that leads to him. He won’t be able to give an alibi because who can remember that far back?

(1) Arresting someone who appears to be intoxicated would constitute as discrimination unless the person who appears to be intoxicated does something unlawful like causing a disturbance or endanger others and themselves.

Think back and imagine your own personal worst experience in life… then multiply it by a thousand; to what a person would have to endure daily in one of these buildings. The brutality, abuse, neglect, pure mental and physical torture is something uncompressible. For someone, anyone to benefit from such circumstances is shameful and honestly the most disrespectful thing I can imagine, I personally don’t think
