stands between men and women is almost non- existent. It is widely believed that we live in a man’s world.

With the “language of rape” surrounding our everyday lives and yet still being ignored as an issue seeking attention, it is common for many people to overlook the equally degrading images in which advertising agencies surround us with day in and day out. “Advertising contributes to people’s
The following study will examine whether there is sexual objectification of women in international marketing communications.

“Sex sells”. Human beings have priorities; food is one, and sex is another. During the entire history of advertising, brands have used sexualization and objectification in their ads, which could lead to self-esteem issues and eating disorders. As said before, sex is one of the human’s priorities, so it is not for it to be attracted by these types of advertisements. Because of this, we know that banning this would be nearly impossible.

Despite already using deceptive tricks such as spin tactics, where campaigns are founded on biased perceptions to win the public’s favor, this proves to be insufficient as advertising companies are always trying to reinvent “creativity” by featuring controversial issues such as gang rape as shown through fashion powerhouse
In this essay I will be examining objectification in the media and the negative effects it may have on society. I began by thinking, what are some forms of objectification found in the media?

I am disgraced by the number of sexist ads that are displayed by the advertising industry in this society. Advertisement is multi-billion-dollar industry which is ever growing and over evolving. However, the way in which advertisers display their products and message still hasn’t changed.
