“Stereotypes can be thought of as theories that people carry around in their heads about how members of a particular group think, look, and behave, and how these attributes are linked,” (Crawford, 2011). Stereotypes are used by advertising agencies to sell products for men and women, children and adults, Caucasians and African Americans. When using this strategy, the marketing companies are choosing specific stereotypes (gender, race, age, ethnicity, etc.) to target. This paper will examine gender stereotyping in advertising.
It is important to remember that Truffaldino will have to be liked the most by the audience despite his folly, and so I would cast someone who physically looked comical. This includes characteristics of people that we as humans find funny – for example an extra-long, pointy nose. Furthermore, someone with an extra-large physique (which could represent laziness). Alternately, the way the person carried themselves as Truffaldino (posture, gait, movement) would affect my casting decision as Truffaldino needs to move in a comical way, but a movement that can fit in with the characters lines and personality well. Smeraldina would also need to have a variety of physical attributes in order to correctly and successfully present the character on stage.

Mark Reynolds Psych 1010-850 September 27, 2013 Reflection Paper 1 What is Attractiveness? We are all attracted to different people for a multitude of reasons, some of these reasons we are aware but some of them are still a mystery. The things we are aware of are the sound of the voice, the smell of their hair, or the softness of their skin. These things are all factors that we are aware of and consciously decide whether or not they are aesthetically pleasing to us. In our book it talks about how faces are the most important things that we look at to judge the attractiveness of another person.
Mass media has played a very special and important role in social influences and identifications. Beauty in our eyes of the beholder and the media is that of the beholder such as it can be a powerful agent of gender role socialization. Sex is everywhere you turn. Victoria’s Secret is notorious for their ads that plaster billboards and the sides of buildings, featuring scantily - clad women suggesting an obvious sexual air. One of the website site I will represent with sexuality media advertisement is the “Abercrombie and Fitch”.
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.

Ruspini, Hearn, Pease, and Pringle (2011) in Men and Masculinities around the World: Transforming men´s practices give an overview of how masculinities had been addressed in the regions of the world but there is much work and research to
What we must understand is advertisement is all about appearances. It is also about information and what excites us as consumers. Stereotypes alone pave the way to sexism and the idea that one sex is superior to the other. For the purpose of this paper the advertisement projected toward women will be ad number one and the advertisement projected toward men will be ad number two. First let us look at advertisement one.
I think that physical attractiveness is more Important than any other factors when looking for a potential date. I think that physical attractiveness really is the key factor, which determines a relationship or not. When we meet someone we see if the individual is good looking and if a relationship could be formed. When two people meet, they form impressions of each other, even if they are only in contact with each other for a minute.I personally think that the outer appearance may not be good looking but the inner self is so it doesnt always have to be about the psyhical apperance. Attraction doesnt necessarliy have to be the outter appearence it could be based on other things about a person.
