Final Blog

What I found most interesting or useful to read the different articles we read on how sex sells and the different opinions of those in the field. Recently I feel like there has been a negative bubble around females in sport. The articles talked about how much sexism there still is especially in advertising. While you have those that scream sexism you also have the other side that embraces it such as Rousey, who embraces her sexuality. In this particular case I learned that this is an issue still on the fence. In Skibola’s article it says that people tend to like companies that align themselves with social issues. Overall it was just very interesting to me to have the ad’s displayed and learn about the different  views. It is an ethical decision that these companies need to make before creating the ad which way they want it to be portrayed.

What I found most interesting was our talk and blog discussion on concussions. This is an issue that has grown so much in the last few years and it will only continue to. I thought it was interesting the different responses of who would and would not let their child play tackle football. I believe it raises concern when former football players don’t want their child playing. I was raised around it in my neighborhood and did not see the negative effects so I do not have the best view on it. I would like my child to play if he so desires.

What I will take with me from this course is the interview with the professional. Talking to Shannon opened my eyes to some different things I would not have always considered. Her explaining how much a Code of Ethics plays a role in her job displays how important it is. She uses her code and I imagine any boss need to have this as a set standard. Overall I found this course very interesting and enjoyed the communication in class as well as on the blogs to learn more about ethical issues.
