Project 1- Editing for publication, book vs. web-site

The book seems to lean more on the coaching style as the website leaned more on the writing of a book. The website “Zen & the Art of Editing”, talk about a group of editors, as the book has more because there a paper. The book wants the editor to coach the writers in ways that the paper wants the story to come out. Like on page 57, “Each sentences is evaluated and a story’s deficiencies are explored… sprightly or serious, detailed or almost superficial”. The book, the one we are reading in class, wants it to be how the paper wants it, and the website wants the author to be the main focus. “Our job is to help the authors shine, not to step into the spotlight ourselves; to help them express their creative visions, not re-shape their books according to our own. Okay, we might argue a point forcefully if we feel that it's in the best interest of the book -- but it's the writer's name on the cover, not ours, and the writer has the final say”( http://windling.typepad.com/editing/on-editing.html, Terri Windling

both show the man surperior over the women!!!

question of the day

yes and no... she does live here but i think she is secluded and needs some help.... she see's everything from her perspective and thinks women are better and men have problems... she's wrong and im know im not right but at least i say that!

Berger does live here but he looks at it form both spectrums of the earth and relates to both in a more educated way but in the end he might live down the block from JK!

so what.... they both break down an issue that we will discuss till where all blue in the face but brush off the bs and look inside the problem... both see media use women in a way that we want to sell them but in the end some want to be that way and some dont. women have there views and so do men but until both parties agree then we wont have an answer!!!

video of gender issues short short????

take a pick!!! a very twisted young individual......

jean kilbourne question1 mistake

that last quuote was fond on page 35 in her book!!!!!

Jean Kilbourne question 1

"Just as children are sold to the toy indusrty and junk food industry by programs, video games, and films, women are sold to the diet industry by the magazines we read and the televiosion programs we watch, almost all of which makes us feel anxious about our weight"... page 47! Kilbourne is saying we can be sold, bought and influenced everyday just by watching tv or reading magazines or adds in a newspaper!! this world has the power of influence and addiction to renue the drive to do or buy the product of their target market..." According tto Dean Valentine, the head of United Paramount Network, most networks have abandoned the middle class and want "very chic shows that talk to affluent, urban, unmarried, huge-disposable-in come 18-to-34 year olds because the therory is, from advertisers, that the earlier you get them, the sooner you imprint the brand name."".... right there is your answer!!!!

what women want and what women need!!!!

'Feminists encourage women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practise witchcraft, become lesbians and destroy Capitalism,' Pat Robertson, preacher and former US Presidential candidate. Some women really think that and that why they can't run our country or have any hope in this case to do much becasue one bad apple can run the bunch!!!

question 2.... In 1970, the Equal Pay Act was passed, stipulating that women and men should receive equal wages for equal work. In 1975, the Sex Discrimination Act was passed, outlawing discrimination in the workplace on the grounds of sex or marital status. In 1976, the Domestic Violence Act was passed as a result of feminists campaigning and establishing a network of refuges under the umbrella of the Women's Aid Federationwomen need to work on building on the past advantages but also need to put the hand back in their pocket and not out... they ask for this and for that but sometimes to get somewhere you have to work for it!!!!
