Diversity is defined as showing a great deal of variety. There are endless possible mixtures of cultures, religions and racial backgrounds and each person has their own story. Gender, race and religion have been controversial subjects since humans were able to communicate. War, tragedy and death are just some of the outcomes of these differences and there are secret messages that are hidden within even the most seemingly genuine gestures. Media has impacted our country negatively and positively, nonetheless, greatly and there is no surprise that some of these hidden messages lay within something as “short and sweet” as commercials. The superbowl is the most watched television event in the country and many companies are willing to pay anything to have a commercial during its run. I will describe four different commercials I have witnessed while watching the superbowl. …show more content…
The theme of the commercial is “you get a little cranky when you’re hungry, have a snickers.” The main character shows signs of anger or discomfort and afterwards someone else approaches and hands them a snicker bar. After the person, who is angry, eats the chocolate bar they return to “normal”. All of the actors in the commercial are men and assumed to be caucasian between 30 and 50 years old. This scene that the commercial was depicting of Monroe was from 1955, an era that wasn’t as rewarding to actresses. The all-male cast was reflecting the male dominance that existed during the 1950’s with the assumption that only a female can be uncontrollably agitated, aggravated or angry. The cast can be assumed to be middle or lower middle class because they show the struggle in trying to record a “big screen” scene, in order to be successful, but is being hindered by the angry Dafoe who’s dressed as Marilyn

The Superbowl is one of the most popular sport events in the world. Many people around the nation are watching every year, so they make sure they have attention-catching commercials.

Some people only watch the Superbowl just to see the commercials.
Then in 1995 Snickers ran ads that featured people making a self-inflicted mistake then saying “not going anywhere for a while”? “Grab a Snickers!” In 2007 Snickers launched a campaign that featured Henry the VIII and a viking attending a Snickers feast. Presently Snickers has the “You’re not you when you’re hungry” campaign. The first one aired in 2010 displaying Betty White and Abe Vigoda playing football. It shows a group of guys playing football and White gets tackled because he/she isn’t playing right.
Both sides uses their “Look at Me Now” and “You Can’t Stop Me” singing battles to persuade their watches that undeniably, this combo is ying and yang to your taste buds. This Superbowl commercial not only represents persuasion but it impacts and influences its audience. This commercial shows different ethnicities, ages, heights, and shapes. It also uses rapping and singing, two HUGE foundations of the music industries. The message of this ad is about the unresistable snack Doritos and Mtn.

In addition, in the movie men are shown to have the power of women, and an example of this in the movie is when Callaghan, uses Vivian as his personal slave to get him what he wants instead of a male character working for him. These examples in the movie continue to put negative ideas in the mind of people who watch the movie especially
They are the only person who recognized Marilyn Monroe, because she was looking completely different from the movie, because she did not wearing her makeup, clothes in ''man's navy coat to her angles and with sleeves past her wrists, a man's beige fedora hat on head" (93), which makes them very surprise to see her like that. They expecting a man to fetch her up but she is all-alone. It makes them feel comfortable in their lesbian relationship that was unrelated to the men kind. They hide their self and following Marilyn Monroe, observing her characters and the books which shocked them, because they never thought she would be a person like that an absolutely unmatched from the movie.
In comparison to the movie, the play undermines male dominance by focusing on women’s efforts to solve their own problems. First of all, there aren’t even men in the cast of the play,
Two super bowl commercials that were very persuasive were the Buick commercial and the Kia Niro commercial. These two commercials were both trying to sell cars. The Kia Niro commercial starred Melissa Mccarthy, but the Buick commercial starred Cam Newton and Miranda Kerr.
