The juxtaposition between Mike’s version of motionless pictures with a slow tempo voice-over and Brian’s up-beat music playing as fashion models work the run way highlights the deliberate shift in focus from a “sweatshop operating right here in
June 3, 2011- Friday Enc1101, Professor Hickman 3 Ad Essay of Males Susan Bordo is a philosopher that brings her training to the study of culture, including popular culture and its representation in the body. Bordo looks at the complicated cultural forces that have produced our ways of understanding in valuing a woman's body. She made a significant contribution to the academic study of gender and the body. She brings the concerns of a philosopher to the materials of everyday life. In this essay I will describe three different ads to you and whether the male in the ad is "A Rock" or "A Leaner".
Our perception of sex-roles could be either liberal or conservative. Those who hold conservative views concerning sex-roles believe that there are obvious delineations in the roles played by men and women, while those who hold liberal views do not ascribe roles according to sex (Konrad & Harris, 2002). Therefore, a traditionalist would say that men should be more directive while women should be more nurturing, while a liberal would approve of a more androgynous role for both sexes. One example of the extent to which advertisements are gender-stereotyped can be seen in televised images of men and women. According to a survey on the U.

Market Analysis and Segmentation According to Kotler(2003) ‘a market segment consists of a large identifiable group within a market, with similar wants, purchasing power, geographical location, buying attitudes, or buying habits’.

TO: Joe Boss, Supervising Editior CC: FROM: DATE: September 11, 2012 SUBJECT: Gender Analysis of “Lucky You” Ad Introduction Looking at many different magazines, newspapers’, billboards, and internet websites you scan across many types of advertisements that are trying to sell a certain product or make a certain point. They often single out what types of people they want to attract to the ad. Often, they are gender specific ads meant for males, females or both.

This paper will examine gender stereotyping in advertising. The examples I have found of gender stereotypes in advertising are perfume ads for Vera Wang and Giorgio Armani. As defined in the book, Transformations, “gender stereotypes are networks of related beliefs that reflect the ‘common wisdom’ about men and women,” (Crawford, 2011). The contrast between the two ads is drastic when examined closely. When glancing at the ads from a distance they would seem similar with the exception of which gender they are intended to target.
Another way commercialism can manipulate consumerists, is by the use of famous or good looking icons to sell their product. Brands ranging from Reebok using the popularity of Sidney Crosby to Tiger Woods advertising for Nike, is used to let the consumers know that their product is used by the best athletes in the world. Another example is the Old Spice commercials which singles out the method of ‘you can be like me’ and instead says “you may not look like me but you can smell like me” (Old spice) to add a comedic twist to the methods of basic commercialism. Famous icons are used to attract attention to their brand to sell a certain product. Therefore commercialism has become essential to consumerism through the use of icons that are known world wide or appealing to the consumer.
To what extent is a “male gaze” still prevalent in contemporary western culture? Discuss in relation to e.g magazines, music videos, advertising, and cinema. Before we discuss the extent to which the “male gaze” is prevalent in contemporary western culture which must first talk about the concept of the “gaze”. The gaze deals with how the audience views the people presented in visual culture e.g adverts, magazines, television shows. Keeping this in mind we can conclude that the “male gaze” is the male ability to exercise control over women by representing them in visual means as passive, sexual objects of male desire.
Gender Portrayals and Stereotypes in Advertising 1302 Writing 101 Professor January 26, 2011 Gender stereotypes are just that, a stereotype.
