      1. controlling images are part of a generalized ideology of domination
        1. "major instrument of power" (68)

            1. ↪ maintain subordination
        2. objectification as the other
          1. either/or dichotomous thinking
            1. e.g. black/white, male/female, reason/emotion, culture/nature...
              1. "In either/or dichotomous thinking, difference is defined in oppositional terms. One part is not simply different from its counterpart; it is inherently opposed to its 'other'." (69)
                1. "As objects, one's reality is defined by other's, one's identity created by others, one's history named only in ways that define one's relationship to those who are subject." - bell hooks (1989, 24)

                            2. WELFARE MOTHER
