TOW #19- Why is it so hard to see Black and White?

"Why is it so hard to see Black and Blue" is a advertisement that evokes the "The Dress" phenomenon to talk about the need to end domestic violence. The advertisement argues that there meed to be a focus on the "One and six women" who suffer from domestic abuse. Its hard not to agree with their argument. Instead of focusing on trivial internet comedies there needs to be focus on issues that still are prevalent in today's world. The issue of domestic violence has only recently been brought to the light, as more women have been coming forward as victims of abuse. Domestic Abuse being a common issue in this day and time and still one that needs to be solved. At its core that author says that domestic violence need more focus that an internet illusion. As many women and men are affected by domestic violence, the only pitfall of this ad that it doesn't address domestic violence in a objective matter. As one in seven men are victims of domestic violence. By only portraying a women in the ad they section off a huge part of domestic violence victims, excluding a whole percentage of victims who need help. But nonetheless the argument is effective in the way it shows the horrors of domestic violence. By adding the shock value of a women being beaten it exemplifies how the reality of domestic violence. Overall this advertisement highlight and argues for the need to help and aid the fight to help victims of domestic abuse.
