I know how we always want the next new makeup or hair product that’s going to make s look like the model in the commercial. Women can’t just run to the store in sweat pants because they value their appurtenance too much. Women don’t feel as confident when they don’t look nice, but men don’t really care either way. In the reading, “Do thin Models Warp Girls Body Image?” I agree with Nancy when she says thin models on the runway or on TV can cause very young girls to become anorexic or bulimic. Nancy says, “Girls are being bombarded with the message that they need to be super-skinny to be sexy.” (Hellmich 706) I believe that is very true when she says that but what young girls don’t realize is that you could be beautiful and sexy with any body type that you might have.
Certain female personality traits may lead to prejudice, bias, and stereotyping. For example, studies show that women, on average, are more concerned than men with developing and maintaining positive social relationships. In fact, women who feel competitive toward others actually score lower on measures of self-esteem (Gray 555). In many corporations, this “agreeableness” is often seen as soft and non-assertive. However, this personality trait is very useful in collaboration and negotiation.
The close up on Susan Sarandon’s face is used to show how beautiful she is because she uses REVLON. By using her beauty it gives the product credibility and it manipulates people because a famous person is being used and one immediately assumes that the product must be good. Furthermore, alliteration is used. Susan Sarandon’s initials match the initials of the title “Star Style” people will be more compelled to buy the product because she uses it and especially because the words confident and charismatic are used to describe her, again alliteration is shown. The REVLON advertisement use of rhetoric appeals to those who know who Sandra is and like
Natasha Eason Engl Comp Sec 214 Sept 20, 2011 Ad Analysis Essay Cover Girl is one of the most successful cosmetic companies in the world. In this ad Cover Girl is trying to endorse the product Exact Eyelight Mascara. The ad to me seems to target young and middle age woman of any race or some men that think that they can make their women (spouse) look like the model in the ad. The ad uses white and nude like colors, very large text and a very close up picture of the model to show how the new mascara will bring out a person’s eye. It shows the four different shades that the mascara is available in on the side to try to get the target audience attention.
It also applies to Anna’s situation. Drive to acquire: This includes enhancing one’s self-concept through relative status and recognition in society. After going to part time, Anna watched peers race past her on their way to partnership.

For instance any of the advertisements that were beauty product related emphasized how important it is for women to be looking there best, and how each product would allow them to create the best image. An advertisement for the Dory Beauty Masque by Du Barry claims to “erase surface lines, and wrinkles, tones up skin and cleanses pores!”. LIFE’s advertisements seem to be focusing primarily on the physical features of women, and how those features can be improved, and shed little to know insight on intellect etc… Also, women during this era clearly took a strong interest into the world of fashion. In the June issue of Life as well as the April issue, there is a quite detailed article that focuses of female fashion trends as time goes on. Including the influence that other countries had on American fashion, the latest trends that would replace the old ones.
With the success of the 19th Amendment still blowing in the sails, the women of this decade took on a new air of liberation. The National Women's Party pushed for the Equal Rights Amendment and the League of Women Voters pursued legislation that would favor women, such as federal assistance with prenatal care. With the advent of switchboards, telephones, and typewriters, women moved into the workplace into what are known as "pink-collar" jobs. The introduction of washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and other household appliances created more time for women to pursue personal pleasantries such as department store clothing and cosmetics. Due to the explosion of magazine publications, films, and radio, women began internalizing new ideas regarding child rearing, their roles as wives, sexuality, and even began using birth control.

The anti-discriminatory practice ensures that you avoid the assumptions, stereotyping and any other type of discrimination. Empowering is about the service user being able to make their own choices and for the professionals to ensure individuals with additional needs that they
There is no exact age as to when a girl is required, or pleases, to wear makeup, but in our society girls would like to wear makeup when breakouts first occur (usually around the age of middle schooled children). Nevertheless, it is now a norm in our society to see teens and preteens believing that they must wear makeup because of what the media tells them a “beautiful girl” appears like. Popular celebrity magazines like Entertainment Weekly, People, US Weekly and many more, as well as movies, the internet and any other place the media influences can be blamed as to why our younger generations choose to begin wearing makeup at such a young age. At an early age female children should not try to imitate mother by wearing high heels, makeup and what not; instead female children should be gaining proper morals promoted by parents and loved ones in order to produce a idealistic child that every parent wishes upon. The media works hard and goes to any extent when they attempt to gain capital in our capitalistic country.
