Title of journal article: Do the visual Media Contribute to Violence Against Women?

-WATCO the raising violence in the media on women in modern times
-The consequences of the raising violence of the media increase the crimes being committed against women in modern times
-Because many shows on television now show women being portrayed as either helpless victims of suffering, or as tough and cunning, out to take revenge for their suffering, thereby dehumanizing women.

Audience: Is probably intended to be for women to show them what is happening, or the audience could be those who produce television shows to show them what is happening.

Ethos: I think this author has strong credibility because he is reasonable in his argument, he does not come on too strong. He also quotes from many different studies.

Pathos: He uses emotion by showing real examples of women in different cultures that have been portrayed very badly on television and shows how the crime rate has increased in those areas.

Logos: It is logical to believe in what the author is saying because it makes sense and he also shows the weaknesses of his argument.

Overall I think this is a well written article and the audience that it is intended for will likely read it with interest. It is not attacking any group in any way.
