Research updaate

Being as I have not had the chance to do any research because of my hectic work week, I have had time to reflect on my topic and how doomed I am. I have come to learn that my topic was way too broad, and have updated my research question in which I have already found some useful information on. My updated question is "How have advertisements reflected and caused a change in American popular culture?" from here I can look at the way Advertisements have changed in respects to depicting different music genres, the roles of both men and women, and lifestyle changes. I expect to find useful information regarding this topic and I expect my question to become even more specific as I progress in my research. My original question started with the phrase "in what ways" and with my change to "How" I feel as though there is more room for discussion and to elaborate on each subtopic (which will also allow me to meet the length requirement). my position on the topic so far has not really changed, I believe that as the years progress and society becomes more comfortable with certain aspects of society, advertisements are not so far behind in depicting the now "socially acceptable." for example, I have noticed that many ads now depict women and men with tattoos, something that was never or rarely seen about 10years ago (and if they were seen they belonged to a prisoner or a criminal). this is just one example of how ads have reflected a change in society and with more research I can discover why ad agencies decided to make these changes.
