Image Manipulation - Has it gone to far?

After viewing the Dove movie in class, read the article on Image Alteration , from CBS Sunday morning and respond to the two questions below by typing a paragraph for each one.

1. After watching the ad created by Dove and learning more of the features of Adobe Photoshop and how to alter photographs, how do you feel about many of the images that you see in magazines? What messages are the advertising agencies and companies who pay to run these ads trying to send? How does it affect you as an individual, as a teenager, as a society?

2. Based on the article from CBS Sunday morning, what did you think of the photo of Senator John Kerry with Jane Fonda as it was used in the presidential campaign- how does this affect us?
