Sexualization of media. How and why do we do it

Mass media has a huge influence on us, shaping our views, beliefs, and habits - sometimes even without our knowledge. The abundance of sex in advertising, movies, music, and the press cannot go unnoticed, as we encounter these sources every day. In the book "Sexualization of Media: How and Why We Do It," Debra L. Merskin examines how exactly the mass media affects us: what they make us turn a blind eye to, and what they make us watch without looking away, what we consider acceptable without thinking, and what we unequivocally condemn. This book will be of interest primarily to professionals in the fields of media communications, cultural studies, sociology, psychology, as well as to anyone who wants to peek behind the scenes of mass media and understand how they shape our seemingly independent viewpoints.
