What do parents really think?

I wonder how the parents of every student in our class would respond to the sentence "Pornography pivots on sex and works in specific ways that target particular audiences by cultivating control and desire and the promise of sexual power through the viewing of available bodies," as stated by Reichert & Lambiase, (2006) if they were sitting in Curry Hall 203 tomorrow. Why do we, parents and young adults alike, succumb to the influences of advertising? We still buy the lipstick, the belts and the booze until we really get rattled and stop. One day in my Readings in Mass Communication 5050 class I made the statement that advertising majors should be in the business school and I still feel that way.
