Critical Research

ok, its been AAAAAGES since i last posted lol

for my critical research i have chosen advertising as my topic. originally i planned to focus on how advertising in the media, focusing on the fashion industry, affects women's body image, but now, after reading an interesting article which sparked my imagination, im thinking of focusing on the censoring of advertising -
> why certain things are censored where others arent,
> how far advertisers can go in order to promote whatever they are promoting without crossing the line,
> how advertisers use shock tactics to appeal to their audience,
> whether censoring and restrictions on content hinder the creativity of people who create adverts or encourage it
> how as an audience the public has developed over the years - things acceptable in advertising now would have caused outrage 30 years ago

this is only an initial idea and is subject to change over the next week or so, depending on what my initial research tells me.
