Furthermore‚ the superiority of social class over race and gender is supported by the realization that socioeconomic disadvantage is in reality a present handicap‚ rather than an intergeneration one and it can be assessed at an individual level and not necessarily in aggregate (Magnus & Mick‚ 2000).

In American advertisements and entertainment‚ sex is everywhere. Women in revealing bikinis are on TV‚ shirtless men displaying six packs are on billboards‚ and couples in intimate poses take up glossy two-page spaces in magazines. This is by no means unintentional. Media moguls make calculated moves when inserting touches of sensuality and eroticism into their publications‚ for reasons wrapped into one simple yet popular phrase: sex sells.
