Advertising has been around for decades and has been the center point for buyers by different subjects peaking different audience’s interests. Advertisers make attempts to strengthen the implied and unequivocal messages in trying to manipulate consumers’ decisions. Jib Fowles wrote an article called “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals,” explaining where he got his ideas about the appeals, from studying interviews by Henry A. Murray. Fowles gives details and examples on how each appeal is used and how advertisements can “form people’s deep-lying desires, and picturing states of being that individuals privately yearn for” (552). The minds of human beings can be influenced by many basic needs for example, the need for sex, affiliation, nurture,

In Killing Us Softly 4, Jean Kilbourne discusses the power of advertising and how it has facilitated and legitimized the objectification of women. As a woman and a former model, Kilbourne argues that advertisements are a powerful educational force because they are everywhere. Because of this, the message is quickly processed so it easier to influence someone’s subconscious.

This negative portrayal leads to self-hatred and a negative self-image for women. A major point of this is the idea of excessive thinness for women, which the advertising industry is dominantly influencing how women need to meet this standard. Kilbourne argues that advertising and the media cause women to believe this is the only standard and we must meet it. A recent advertisement in Glamour magazine for Kashi cereal “GoLEAN Crunch”, is a great example of how women are represented and materialized in today’s society. This advertisement supports and contradicts Kilbourne’s argument that advertisers depict women as powerless, in-shape and perfectly beautified to meet the standard created by the media.

Advertisements: Exposed When viewing advertisements, commercials, and marketing techniques in the sense of a rhetorical perspective, rhetorical strategies such as logos, pathos, and ethos heavily influence the way society decides what products they want to purchase. By using these strategies, the advertisement portrayal based on statistics, factual evidence, and emotional involvement give a sense of need and want for that product. Advertisements also make use of social norms to display various expectations among gender roles along with providing differentiation among tasks that are deemed with femininity or masculinity. Therefore, it is of the advertisers and marketing team of that product that initially have the ideas that influence

Consuming these advertisements constantly creates curiosity amongst the buyer, which leads us to the making the decision whether we want to purchase Product A or Product B. Advertisers understand this and try to make the decision for you on an unconscious level through visual rhetorics involving pictures, phrases, or videos. From colors, shapes, words said, to even race; any of these can create the perfect pitch for their target audience to buy. Profits are the determining factor when dealing with advertisements and the companies are trying to draw in an audience in with whatever they feel will connect their products to that specific audience.

Balancing Beauty In and Out The well known story of the ugly duckling is a poignant reminder of what the judgments of others can do to an individual’s self esteem. One duckling was different from the other ducklings that were supposedly superior in appearance and therefore it became an object of constant teasing and torment. Other characters in the story only saw what was superficially different with the ugly duckling instead of taking the time to find what other redeeming qualities or skills it may have otherwise had. In time the duckling subjected itself to the life of an unwanted recluse because it knew it could never fit in.

Do companies create consumer demand or simply try to meet customers’ needs? I believe advertising shapes as well as mirrors society. A case in point, advertisements can shape society's perception of ‘beauty." For instance, in magazines and movies, quite often young girls strive to look-like and emulate the digitally enhanced images of women in magazines.

These advertisements use different methods of convincing and their influence is irresistible. Just like prisoners in Plato’s “Allegory of the cave”, we are told every day to invest our time and interests into the subject of these advertisements, and to acquire the forms of reality that they serve us. “Allegory of the cave” is even truer than it was back then. We today are being controlled by the media. Advertisements for one control us.

People work hard to earn money to buy new things and when they buy it, they try to satisfy themselves with these devices until the new technology devices sell. For example, the laptop can only symbolize technological abilities and knowledge for a limited time (until a better model comes along), and it only advertises economic status to the relatively limited group who know about computer pricing. After that, they work hard again to buy these new devices and this circle continues. To continue this condition some foundations take a step and made campaigns such as RED. RED research that the consumption pattern of people, what they are buying or not and make campaign about it.
