Ethical question surrounding Abercrombie & Fitch product launch Intro The Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) marketing of its products, underwear for children, is under controversy. They are considered too provocative for young children by some because of the adult style and sexy words. Why they chose this kind of products, whether it is unethical or effective (earning spot light) will be discussed. Perspective for Consumers Abercrombie & Fitch is a retailer which primarily focuses on young people so it will try to find possible ways to attract the eyes of adolescent. Since people tend to pursue things they don’t possess, a mature appearance could become a possible pursuit for adolescent.
The media in advertisements from magazines and such shows how women and men become victims. However, popular culture challenges and teaches our people to have positive effects on children and others. For example, television during summer vacation allows children to rest, stop watching television, go outside, and exercise. However, our modern society is reforming the idea of pop music. The people think aggressiveness and toughness as cool and beloved for men where as women are an object or representation of sex.
For men, society prefers almost zero body fat, large, toned, muscles, and a large penis. For women, society prefers skinny, with large breasts. When one thinks of taking part in a “normal” sexual encounter, it would play out like this: the man makes a move on the woman, and spontaneous sex plays out in whatever private location they may be at. The man’s role is to be physically ready at all times, and the woman’s role is to finish the man and show as much pleasure as possible. Yahoo!

The language of teenage cosmetics advertisements The heart of my research project was to comprehensively examine and analyse the language techniques used in advertisements for teenage cosmetics. Because I am a teenage girl, I am often the target audience for big cosmetic companies who are trying to market their cosmetics. This is what inspired my choice to do teenage cosmetics as my topic. I was determined to discover how the techniques of advertising are used to persuade teenage girls into purchasing products. For my report, my three focus questions were how do cosmetic companies try to persuade teenage girls to buy their cosmetics through advertisements how are the verbal and visual features in advertisements for cosmetics related, and finally, what effects do the verbal and visual features in cosmetic advertisements have on teenage girls?
A research by Taylor and Francis (2000) establishes that young men seeing such advertisements start viewing women as a means to vent out their sexual aggression leading to rapes and more gender role stereotyping. All these outcomes emphasize the need for raising awareness about the unintended effects on the audiences these advertisements are targeted to. While groups like Advertising Women of New York, GraceNet, and the National Organization of Women have been outspoken and ridiculed use of such ads, research shows a lot more needs to be done. An interesting idea that this knocks on is that if advertisers capitalize on what sells, are these views of showcasing women as sex objects actually a mirror of what the society believes? Does sex in ads principly enhance or hinder advertising processing?

Physical effects For some guys, the size of their penis can stop them from having a satisfying sex.
However, people nowadays are becoming more and more self concious of their traits/appearance and due to the massive influence of the social media especially through the form of media advertisement; we as a society are becoming more influenced by what others think and in turn it reflects on our own identity and reality as a person. Media advertising is often directed towards children and teenagers meaning that they are increasingly concious of brands and the public image, suggesting that these are “normal” ways to look and behave. Consequently, media advertising influences negative teenage behaviour especially on teenage girls. If teenage girls see unrealistic “thin body” types and beauty messages often enough through the media, it can have an impact on their body image and dieting behaviour to acquire that “perfect” body image, especially when there’s no one to disagree
