The participation of experts consisting Condoleezza Rice, Jean Kilbourne, Jim Steyer, Caroline Heldman, Pat Mitchell, and many others strongly convince audience of reliability of Newson’s argument. For instance, Kilbourne points out that people are mostly not aware of the harmful effect of advertising images since it is subconscious; therefore, girls are encouraged to achieve an ideal beauty which is unattainable, and people harshly judge women’ appearance. Additional, Susan Molinari emphasizes that girls should who know they are, determine what is the best about them, not try to be anybody else, and help each other to improve. Newsom includes many trustworthy people’ opinions since ethos is one of tools that she uses to convey her belief and increase more credit and trustworthiness for her…
Marketers, those who are in charge of a company’s advertisement, have to appeal to the largest group of people that they can for it to be truly successful (Source F). To do this, they attempt to create a commonplace among viewers such as Dove’s, “Camera Shy” campaign which focused on insecurity. Though this commercial focused primarily on women, it focused on women of different ages and ethnicities and only focused on women to lift this group up and fight society's pressure on women to be conscious about their body. Positive messages like this can have a long lasting impact on many, especially young adults. In “Advertising: Information or Manipulation?”…
Physical beauty plays a captivating role in amongst many young people yet true aesthetics are derived internally. “That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste,” John Green rationalizes. The pressure to become physically beautiful plays a greater role in lives of female more so than males. Beauty commercials target females more often; many females fall victim to obsessing about their physical appearance wearing gobs of makeup, leggings, a trendy top and shoes that are easily identifiable to most people.…
William Safire, in the column, “ Age-Defying”, questions the sudden change on how manufacturers of beauty products market their “age-defying” products. Safire supports his question by explaining how the use of “age-defying” instead of the classic “anti-aging”, makes the product seem to have a more “positive and hopeful” effect. His purpose is to show how the simplest change in how a product is marketed changes the whole premise of what that product stands for in order to make shoppers more aware of what they are buying. Safire has a informal tone to connect to a wide consumer…
A few headlines are posted around the cover model’s face, but the text is subtle and non-distracting; all the pieces work cohesively to create a very sophisticated look. The picture is a girl holding a phone in one hand and a pencil in the other, she looks very professional with a white collared shirt, bright red lipstick and bright red nails. The caption on the cover is “Fashions and Beauty for…. Nurses, Teachers, Office Workers, Saleswomen and Executives”. I choose this piece of hers because it encourages women to go to work and to become more independent.…
Gill provides a thorough approach to the issue of Sexualization, her primary example of Sexualization is through the visual presentation of the midriff. Gill indicates that the representation of the midriff doesn’t just sexualize women but also gives them a sense of empowerment. In the past, advertisements would focus on woman’s cooking and domestic purity, “Instead of caring or nurturing or motherhood, it now possession of a ‘sexy body’ that is presented as a women’s key source of identity,” (Gill, 2007). Before the theme of “sex sells” came into play, advertisers based their primary focus on the gender roles of a female instead of their physical appearance. An intersectional approach contributes to our understanding of the issue of Sexualization is how Gill states that individuals with disabilities, women of colour and non-heterosexual women not being equally represented.…

Alright that’s it; you just lost your phone.” I painfully surrendered my phone to my mother. But it wasn’t for a bad grade or any other typical teenage mishap; the cause was simple: makeup. Sure I was old enough and had any right to wear it, but her reasoning always remained the same, “Leah, you are too beautiful to wear makeup”.…
The documentary also provides many supporting statistics to help support their claim regarding how the media affects women of all ages. “Miss Representation” successfully educates the viewer on many different studies that have been conducted for a variety of various aspects and scenarios of a women’s life. One study shows that women in the U.S spend an average of $12,000 to $15,000 on beauty products and services rather than on their education. According to “Miss representation” this is the case because of how the media highlights the importance of a women’s beauty rather than her intellect.…
Paisley promotes an unrealistic ideal of the “Cinderella myth,” whereby a beautiful appearance is the key to a woman’s success (Wolf 22). Young girls of all race and class mistakenly internalize that with the proper hair style and glamourous dresses, they too can be attractive and successful. This strengthens the stereotype that caring about their physical appearance is a part of the normative female gender script. Encouraged by the commercial structures of society, girls grow up to become consumers of mass-produced beauty products. They are no longer seen as children, rather as “unformed adults” who will play their role in the capitalistic nature of our society.…
Several components in this ad demonstrate novelty, which, according to the text is “stimuli that appears in unexpected ways… (Solomon 116). ” In the commercial the M & M candies, are two animated characters talking about Santa. Seeing these inanimate candy pieces take on human roles, is an unexpected stimulus that quickly grabs out attention with a relatable conversation topic of the whether or not Santa Clause is real. The conversation topic of the candies allows me to easily tell that the target market for this ad includes young children from the ages of 2 years old to 9 years old living in middle-class households.…
