worlds they create for us: The similar yet different worlds of female and male fitness of "Shape" for women and "Men's Health"
In answering the question, what worlds do magazines create for their readership, one must first ask, whom is the readership? In an increasingly niche-specific and targeted market base, through the use of direct mail, the Internet, and a better ability to target specific and desirable segments of the population, it may seem anachronistic to speak of what is simply a women's magazine or a men's magazine. The most fair way thus to compare male and female magazines thus may not be to speciously complain that a magazine such as "Good Housekeeping," targeted at stay-at-home women with children, does not present as many helpful suggested bits of career and 'going out on the town' advice such as "Esquire." Rather, it is to take two parallel magazines, such as "Shape"….

Women vs. Men Magazines
Comparing Four Magazines:

What Society can Learn About Itself from Magazine Covers and Advertisements

Individuals today are constantly bombarded with information. his information comes from many sources, most common of which are television and the internet. Media, thus, controls many lives, in a sense, through its sharing of information and of course, various publications. Magazines and newspapers cemented their existence long ago, yet it is today that varieties have multiplied and information has become trivialized. One must recognize this when seeing the kinds of "news" that the media shares, and especially when analyzing the angle of such important information. Yet many newspapers and especially magazines have, in a way, become almost fragmented by their own biases, controlled by a need to specialize in order to sell copies. his is true of many men and women's magazines, where it is evident that certain photos and articles cater to a certain….

Lessons Magazines of the Late 1940s and 1950s Taught Women About Dating and Marriage?
The objective of this study is to examine magazine articles from popular women's magazines in the 1940s and 1950s and answer the question of what these magazines taught women about marriage and dating.

The 1940s and 1950s were decades that were characterized by change and expansion in the roles of women in society. Popular magazines of these two decades helped to form the conceptions of women concerning dating and marriage. This is clearly evidenced in articles in these magazines.

Magazines in the 1940s

World War II began in the early 1940s and men were drafted to fight leaving gaps in the manufacturing and production lines in U.S. companies. The United States needed workers to produce supplies and during this time, women were looked toward by employers to fill these gaps. Just as had been the case during World War I,….

women's magazines has income increasingly significant on the media market largely because they tend to appeal to an increasing public. In this context, the share of the advertisement is also on the rise. However, such developments have determined an impact on the public that is often considered to be a negative one in terms of women's self-esteem.
There are different aspects to consider when arguing that women are negatively impacted by glossy magazines. The aspects most affected by women's magazines include the body image, the behavior of women vs. The partner, the work place, and the society at large, and the image women project in the society at large (Kramer, 2011).

Glossy magazines, as a result of the advertisement conducted and the ad space sold on the pages of magazines such as "Vogue," "Harper's Bazaar," "Cosmopolitan," "Elle," have the tendency to promote the perfect-body model in women. They are the symbols….

There is a very obvious difference in the themes of the advertisements that only becomes more apparent by virtue of….

Allen also notes that interviews are often heavily edited, very likely to be true in the case of Artforum, where each interview hews to a standard of grammar and diction that may not be found in the speech of the interviewees.

Six people -- artists, writers -- who had known Coplans were invited to contribute to his obituary. Irving Blum's reminiscence aptly explains the editorial direction of the magazine during Coplans' tenure, and, by observation of the February 2005 issue, today as well. Blum notes that Coplans had a "bulletproof bull***** detector. He was astonishingly direct about every issue" (Banks, 2004). Blum notes that Coplans could both voice his feelings and explain why he did or did not like something, a feature of the writing in the magazine today. In addition, when the art public was giving some new ideas a lukewarm reception, and Coplans disagreed, he was not shy about….

Violent and Misogynistic Lyrics in Gangsta Rap

By ____ April 30, 2011

The saying goes, "you are what you eat." Though this may seem like a cliche at first glance, just think about this small quote that you have probably heard before. When thinking logically, this statement is really true: you are what you eat and you really do look a certain way because of nutrition.

Similarly to looking like what you are eating, you are shaped by the music to which you listen. Those who listen to rock are different people from those who listen to predominantly punk or rap music. These individuals may….

The Whole . . . is More than its Parts

The article The Whole . . . is More than its Parts illustrates the complexities, challenges and decisions that must be made in order for an enterprise to unify its many applications, databases, systems and platforms to serve a common strategic purpose. The article was published May 31, 2000 when integration options within enterprises were comprised of creating hand-coded adapters and connectors which were often written within the companies who needed them, reliance on Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or the use of XML as an integration standard. In 2000 when the article was written and published, Web Services were nascent and only in prototype form. Web Services began proliferating subsequent to the time when this article was written, given the rapid increases in programming languages and tools specifically designed for ensuring higher levels….

TV and Magazine Ads. There are five references used for this paper.
Americans see numerous advertisements on TV and in magazines, all aim at getting them to spend their money. It is interesting to look at five such ads and who their target audience is.

Household Items

The Libmen Company offers a wide array of products for cleaning the home. Their newest product is the Nitty Gritty Roller Mop which is targeted for the middle-class, homemaker.

The ad promises the product will "get to the nitty, gritty of cleaning a floor (Libmen)."

The company demonstrates this benefit by showing the consumer bristles on the mop, as well as the roller portion.

The consumer is shown the mop being used, further successfully illustrating the virtues of the product.

Health Aids

Odor Eaters has a product called Odor Eaters Plus. The product is aimed mainly at middle-class athletes or workers who may be on their feet more than ordinary….

Forbes Magazine entitled, "In the Pill Box" discusses Walgreen's Drugstore and the challenge that it faces from Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBM). The article begins by informing the reader of the astronomical growth of the Walgreen's company. The author explains that the company's stock has risen by 3,000% in the past 20 years and that the store plans to have over 7,000 stores by 2010. (Lambert) The article also asserts that the same-store sales increased by 9% in fiscal 2003. (Lambert)
The author contends that although the company is extremely success, there is a threat on the horizon. This threat comes in the form of Pharmacy Benefit Managers who show health organizations and employers how to make prescriptions drugs more cost effective. The article explains that PBM's often encourage these organizations to persuade patients to get long-term prescriptions through the mail instead of going to a pharmacy. Mail order pharmaceuticals are….

The very fact that the magazine openly admires men like Ray Liotta, who show depth beyond the typical alpha male and women like Christina Aguilera, who has chosen to use her sexuality rather than being used by her sexuality, demonstrates that the magazine does not even seriously believe that anyone should become the ideal male. On the contrary, the magazines use of stereotype-heavy advertising and writing suggests that the editors believe that men and women should try to incorporate some of the elements of these traditional stereotypes, while retaining their own individualized personalities. Such a position only becomes problematic when a consumer is not sophisticated enough to recognize that there is a distinction between writing about a stereotype and supporting all aspects of that stereotype. For example, violence against women has long been considered acceptable in sexual stereotyping. Maxim does not have articles, advertisements, or photos that glorify violence….

Paltrow and the Public Eye: As Portrayed by Us Magazine
One public figure who has prominently been focused on with more fervor of recent times has been Gwyneth Paltrow. This is in part because she is a beautiful celebrity and famous actress, and also in part because of a rumor that recently went around that Vanity Fair was planning a "take down" article on her. One online magazine which appears to feature her very heavily and on a regular basis is U.S. Magazine. This magazine will publish something about Ms. Paltrow every few days and appears to play both sides of the coin when it comes to how they portray her. When the magazine wants to portray her favorably, they do so. When they want to portray her unfavorably, they do so as well. They're extremely mercurial when it comes to how she is presented to the rest of the world.….
