Proposal

My topic for this paper is going to be the Girls Gone Wild organization. I would like to find out more information about it, and maybe figure out what influenced Joe Francis into forming this organization. I also want to know what influences the women in the videos to flash the cameras and strip for them, considering they don't get paid. My audience will be women of course, aged anywhere from 13 to 30. By looking into the organization I hope I can set my argument against this organization. I see these women as insecure and others see it as just sexy or the "norm". I would hope most women would wake up if they were aware of the goal behind the videos, and realize they are being used for profit. The CEO and employees of the organization gain wealth while these women gain nothing; there is something wrong with this. The organization would be different I am sure, if the women were getting paid. The organization itself is a trashy way of gaining wealth in my opinion.
