Unethical Print Ad (Children)

I had to think twice before posting this advertisement because of how sensitive it is and how graphic it can be. Looking at it once, and I have concluded within one second that this advertisement is unethical.

Firstly, a minor modeling is something I am strongly against because of the exposure they would face at such a tender age. We live in an era were social influence is stronger than ever before. Second as we study the photo the way the girl is sitting on the chair is rather in a sexual manner and her (sorry for this) butt cheeks can be seen clearly.

Next we look at her face expression, being an open minded person the way this little girl is showing is a sexual face with a serious look going on. No minor should be asked to pose like this and I think it should be illegal as in my opinion it breaks the human rights law.

In terms of texts, just the brand's name which is American Apparel because the picture itself without the words is enough to lure young girls to follow this trend. Advertisement like this, set the trends for younger girls to dress up inappropriately.

Advertisements like this are unethical because girls like the one above are going to be at risk because of the uprising number of peadophiles in this world today.
