Below are four topics based on the excerpt from John Berger’s Ways of Seeing. Choose ONLY ONE of the topics. Be certain to read the topic carefully and be certain that your essay fully addresses all aspects.1. Berger writes that publicity images/advertisements “never speak of the present. Often they refer to the past and always they speak of the future” (130). For this topic, you will need to select at least three advertisements and analyze them in terms of Berger’s statement. In other others, do the ads you have selected speak of the present or not, do they refer to the past or not, and do they speak of the future or not? For each ad, you must give a detailed description of it and then analyze it carefully in terms of the above questions. For instance, if you state that an ad speaks of the future, how exactly does it do so?2. Berger writes that publicity images/advertisements are “about social relations, not objects. Its promise is not of pleasure, but of happiness: happiness as judged fromthe outside by others” (132). For this topic, you will need to select at least three advertisements and analyze them in terms of Berger’s statement. In other words, are the ads about social relations and do they show a “happiness as judged from the outsideby others” (132)? For each ad, you must give a detailed description of it and then analyze it carefully in terms of the above questions. For instance, if you state that an ad is not about social relations, explain exactly why it is not?3. Berger briefly alludes to how publicity images/advertisements often make use ofgender stereotypes. For this topic, you will need to select at least three advertisements and analyze them in terms of gender. However, there are multiple approaches you can take here: (1) you can focus on how the ads rely upon stereotypes of women OR (2) you can focus on how the ads rely upon stereotypes of men, OR (3) you can compare and/or contrast how ads pitch differently based on the sex/gender of the targeted audience. For instance, do automobile ads featuring women emphasize different aspects from automobile ads featuring men? For each ad, you must give a detailed description of it and then analyze it in terms of which approach you have selected.4. You may select your own topic based on John Berger’s excerpt.
