But what really stands out is the Dove campaign's fast momentum starting the day of its launch.
In my opinion, it went viral because it moves out people, because it makes them think, because it’s based on a true insight of average women. Most ads today don’t evoke any clear emotion, they just communicate a particular product or service benefit and are trying to sell it to you. That wasn’t the goal of this ad in particular. The project was pretty diverse as there were Caucasian, African-American, and Asian women participating.
The social marketing campaign is interesting too because his sole purpose was to empower women, not pushing for any particular Dove product. Therefore the brand came up with a very positive social motive. Consumers feel as though Dove cares about each of them, not only in the purpose of selling products.
The message of this ad is “You’re More Beautiful Than You Think." This increases the power of the message due to its rhetorical use of the second-person term “you,” And it’s an important and necessary message to put out there. Because right now, some woman, somewhere, is watching this film and feeling better about herself, and actually understanding that she worth more than she
People with extremist views are seen by society as intense or even crazy, this is most likely because those with passionate, radical opinions will do anything to send the message of their opinions, even if that means they must sacrifice their own life.

In the essay What Meets the Eye, Daniel Akst argues that look or beauty does matter in the daily life, that is, people’s life can be largely influenced or even controlled by look. Through reading Akst’s essay, I completely understand how people have different perspectives of others, as many people pay attention to and worry about how they look in the daily life. And people tend to judge others by their beauty or looks to a large extent. Akst’s ideas quite conform to and reinforce Paglia’s points that pursuing and maximizing one’s attractiveness and beauty is a justifiable aim in any society, and that good surgery discovers reveals personality. Both of them hold the idea that beauty plays an important role in people’s life and it is significant to enhance one’s beauty and attractiveness.
The entire advertisement it is focused on evoking a response of empathy and compassion for the girl. Again, the face of the girl is strongly related to this appeal because the audience feels touched by her suffering. Also, it is very hard to see how the happiness of the girl diminishes and turns into sorrow. For example, the advertisement starts with the girl celebrating her birthday and everybody singing “Happy Birthday”, after that the mother says “Make a wish” and the girl blows the candles of a pretty decorated cake. In contrast, at the end the mother sings her the same song but this time the girl is completely devastated and there is only a lonely candle on top of a metallic plate containing some food.

In 2011 Groupon came out with a Super Bowl Commercial ad to persuade consumers to use Groupon. In this ad they used logos, pathos, and ethos. There was a lot of controversial issues that were brought up about this ad. This ad tried to use emotional graphics, a topic that was very controversial at the time, and a popular celebrity to appeal to consumers. However this ad took a turn quickly, and not in a good way.
Being surrounded by society’s definitions of beauty has definitely taken a toll on American women’s confidence. This toll becomes evident from statistics such as, “7 in 10 girls believe that they are not good enough or don’t measure up
According to Britton (2012), last 2008, YWCA USA developed a report Beauty at Any Cost wherein they discuss the consequences of beauty obsession of every woman in America. It shows that beauty obsession results from a decrease in the level of self-esteem. It also gives a problem to the Americans because it’s also putting a dent in their pockets.

The ad “You Make Me Feel” is based off the 2016 Presidential campaign between Former First Lady Hillary Clinton and President Donald Trump. The ad was produced and published October 31, 2016 by Priorities USA in an effort to discredit Donald Trump and show Americans that Hilary Clinton was the best choice for presidency. Throughout the presidential campaign Donald Trump was criticized about his sexist behavior, accused of sexual harassment and victimizing women. Priorities USA used these accusations as a kairotic moment eight days prior to the election to persuade women to vote for Hilary Clinton. The “You Make Me feel” political advertisement uses Aristotelian rhetorical appeals, logos, ethos, pathos and metaphors to persuade the target audience, women, to vote against presidential candidate Donald Trump because he doesn’t respect women.
In conclusion America or just people in general are attracted to big and bold things. Americans or others just have a tendency to look and also be attracted to bigger and better things.

Advertisements sell values, images, love and sexuality. Over the years advertisements have attempted a wide variety of advertising approaches like humor, sex, emotions. Advertisers use one of these appeals to ensure that the targeted audiences receive their message. The media’s framing of women in highly restricted and negative ways is a global phenomenon that cuts across all cultures and has endured a long passage of
These factors can be religious functions, economy, advertisements, etcetera. The beauty ideal as we know it nowadays, of course, differs from the ones ages ago or at least as far as we know. So not only culture changes the beauty ideal but also the time we live in. In this chapter the change over time in the beauty ideal will be studies and discussed.
One of the categories in being the ideal woman is being conventionally beautiful because, according to the media, a significant portion of a woman’s self-worth rests in appearance. This can be seen through women’s magazines in particular, which promote altering one’s appearance leads to the significant improvement of one’s “love life and relationships, and ultimately, life in general” (Bazzini 199). Therefore, the media presents a direct relationship with beauty and success: the more attractive a woman is, the better her life will be. Thus, a woman must the take initiative to look beautiful in order to be successful. Through the repetitive exposure of the same type of image in the media, what society considers beautiful often resembles a definitive checklist.
Your decisions to comply with society’s view of “beauty” are no longer subconscious, but rather are more conscious-driven decisions. Barbie’s slender figure remains idolized; however, it has evolved from a plastic doll to a self-starving model that is photo-shopped on the pages of glossy magazines. You spend hours in front of a mirror adjusting and perfecting your robotic look while demanding your parents to spend an endless amount of money on cosmetics and harmful skin products to acquire a temporary version of beauty. Consider companies such as Maybelline, which have throughout the ages created problematic and infantilizing campaigns and products for women. More specifically consider the “Baby Lips” product as well as the company slogan, “maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline,” that reiterates the male notions of beauty to which women are subjected.
Stereotypical Ads: Clorox Bleach Television ads have been around in the U.S since 1941 and have aired all around the world ever since. Most of these ads seem harmless and try to convince the viewer to buy the company 's products, but some companies take their ads a little too far. In 2007, Clorox Bleach aired a commercial called, “The Laundry Timeline.” This commercial was extremely stereotypical towards women, mentioning how women are the ones who do the laundry in the household and made the assumption that the woman 's’ parents and grandparents did the laundry in the family. In “The Laundry Timeline”, women are portrayed as house cleaners and useless in the working world, through the use of symbolic items, using the word “your” as an idea that the watcher is in the ad, and the idea of pathos to catch to the viewers attention, in order to get people to agree with their statement and to buy their product.
Thigh gaps, flat stomach, big boobs, curvaceous hips. Something all girls dream of having and spend heaps of time and money trying to achieve it. In reality, it’s 99% impossible to get the super model “hot bod”. As an average, food-loving, lazy woman, I admire their ‘beautiful’ bodies and accept that my body will never be like theirs. Victoria’s Secret (VS) is a famous American retailer of women’s lingerie who’s widely known to use supermodels called “Angels” to advertise and promote the company’s lingerie.
