Priceless-PSA Announcement


I chose to make a PSA announcement that resembled that of a master-card advertisement. Women constantly struggle in the work place; even though women have embodied the CEO persona they still have not experienced the CEO paycheck. Women spend large amounts of money to “look the part” of a major business person and yet their male counterparts are making more money than the females for the sole reason of bias towards genders. It is sad that there are women out there that do their job more efficiently than their male counterparts and yet the males are the ones with fatter paychecks. At the bottom of my PSA announcement in smaller print it says that… *Sound too be good to be true? It’s because it is, only once women are seen and treated as equals rather than objects will they ever be able to finally experience that which is truly…priceless.*” I decided to post my PSA in my Aunt Brenda’s beauty salon (unfortunately I was unable to load the image of the add hanging in her shop). I felt a beauty salon is the best place for women to see my announcement. The only two people working in Brenda’s beauty salon are her and my mother, and they both have told me how when their customers take a closer look at my PSA announcement they always have some sort of comment, usually agreeing with the message that I was trying to get across. I know women are aware of the injustices in the work places, but sometimes it takes a little reminder to motivate women into becoming upset enough to take action.
