Most women are skinny, tall, perfect skin tone, flawless looking face, toned body, firm breast and thighs, long Lucius hair and perfect straight white teeth. As a result of the pressure to attain such level of perfection women spend thousands of dollars a year on beauty products to reach the image that is being portrayed on most visual media.

Great for your look” no matter the age, ethic background, weight or height, Dove is still telling women to focus on the perfect skin with out making it seem at first glance that being perfect is not important and that is okay and normal to have flaws, however by their slogan they are transmitting the same message as every one else in the beauty industry

Compare and Contrast Argument Essay Adam Shepard and Chris McCandless are marvelous people who journey out to figure out if the American Dream was still alive and from both of their perspective both did achieve it, but one did not make it back. Both had a different objective of achieving the American Dream, McCandless went into the wilderness with only 10 pounds of rice, and a camera, while Shepard went into the city of Charleston with only $25, the clothes on his back, a sleeping bag, and a duffle bag. McCandless went into the wilderness because he said that his parents do not really love, he gets everything from them, and he wants to be more self-reliance. Shepard went into Charleston because he wanted to prove that the American Dream can be achieved anywhere only if you have the commitment to do it.

The models in the advertisement are far from average American women. The models represent the “ideal” American doll with tall, long legs; a “naturally” tanned complexion; and a waist size under 26 inches. Many Americans resonate with and aspire to achieve this image of beauty—regardless of how infeasible it may be. Consequently, when the Victoria’s Secret models kickbox, rock climb, or run on the beach, the audience desires the same look when they work out. So, the next time that a young woman shops for some new workout clothes, she buys from Victoria’s Secret because she’ll be one step closer to looking like a VS

There is an overall distinguishing difference between John Hancock’s “Boston Massacre Oration”, and John Dickinson’s Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania. In his oration Hancock establishes a call to action in the development of the American identity, while Dickinson offers a critique of the colonists in their wishes to revolt against taxation while simultaneously expressing the inequality that exists among the colonies. Hancock consistently reinforces the idea of a unified nation such as when he says “let all America join in one common prayer”. Rather than criticizing the brutal actions that occurred on the night of March 5, 1770, he uses the actions to encourage unity and promote a pursuit for liberty.

They began in 1957, and until 2004, Dove’s campaigns centered on making a woman “more beautiful.” However, in 2002, Dove changed their mission to promote a point of view rather than a product, and in 2004, the brand launched its “Campaign for Real Beauty.” Through research conducted by Dove, the company was able to prove that the definition of beauty had become limiting and unattainable, and only two percent of women around the world described themselves as beautiful (Deighton, 2008). They transformed their mission to, “help the next generation of women develop a positive relationship with the way they look - helping them raise their self-esteem and realize their full potential” (Deighton, 2008). The realignment of their mission and methods of advertising proved beneficial, and they are still at the top of the beauty sector

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.

An example of this is in 2009, an Olay ad for its ‘Definity Eye Cream’ showed a former model who was 62 years old, looking wrinkle-free and a whole lot younger than her age after using this Olay beauty product. Turns out the ads were retouched. Digitally altered spots were made in the ad, creating not only a bad misrepresentation of Olay products, but the ad's potentially gave a negative impact on people's body images(Sweney).

The double standard of aging describes the inconsistent view our culture has placed on age between males and females. Society and media push for women to remain young as it is believed beauty is lost as they age, whereas males do not have as much pressure to consider age with their appearance. The standard for women to look young as a measure of beauty impacts their sense of beauty and self-worth to a higher degree than men (Hillier, 2015). This double standard persists today due to the constant reminder of appearance seen in all forms of media and casual conversations amongst peers. Marketing agencies have recognized this to be a huge venue for sales as they produce products attempting to preserve the look of being young.
