Daisy's objectification leads to an unrealistic ideal and that expectation leads to disappointment in other characters as well as self-destructive behavior to Daisy. Golden girls must always stay pure, as well, to complete their image, so any type of scandal or negative portrayal of the character is immediately covered up by other characters, as an act of devotion to her reputation.

For this week, we focused on an article entitled, “A Defense of Abortion,” by Judith Thomson. The article covered the topic of abortion and used an interesting analogy to help put a picture to the views and opinion of abortion that the Author has.
