WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST RESPONSE UPON VIEWING THIS AD?

Should I really say that? She looks good. 


DO YOU THINK THIS CONFIRMS OR CHALLENGES TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES? HOW?
I don't think there's much out of the ordrinary here. You see ads all the time of half naked women. She's clearly meant to be a sex symbol here.

DO YOU THINK THIS AD IS APPROPRIATE FOR ALL VIEWERS?
Probably not. I mean, it doesn't actually show anything, but a lot is implied.

DO YOU THINK IT APPROPRIATELY PROMOTES WHAT GAP AIMS TO SELL?
Not really. I mean it's a clothing ad and she's not even wearing any clothes.

DOES THIS AD ENCOURAGE OR DISCOURAGE YOU, PERSONALLY, IN BUYING THE PRODUCTS ADVERTISED? HOW?
I don't think I wouldn't be encouraged just because you can't see what she's selling.
