12/07 Final thoughts

Throughout this course I have faced being the second sex, having no-self, the construction of beauty, race, sex, gender, and the construction of media, web, and cultural politics. I learned that through society I will be the second. Woman still are faced with the slave-master worker-owner relationship. We have no self, the self is constructed, we are products of commercialism and capitalism. The things we buy make us the product, the profit for those in power. We are walking advertisements. That which we think makes us unique is a construction of who we think we are, which include beauty, race, and gender.  Beauty is an opinion and an ideology created by the media and society which tells us if we are ugly, pretty, fat, skinny, too tall, too dark/light, and if who we think we are and look at is nothing but a design of society.
