Vaseline healthy white lotion:
In the add a news reporter faces problem in bringing news because she is not fair and has even skin tone. When she uses Vaseline lotion her skin becomes fair and gets even skin tone. When she goes in the public every man give her attention and after looking at her skin tone men give her interviews and she gets success.

Unilever should not make the promises can’t be fulfilled.

    Everyday, we see advertisements all around us. Weather we choose to look at them or not, they are there. Reading from the text, “Advertisings Fifteen Basic Appeals” by Jib Fowles, talks about how advertisements manipulate the public. I have chosen to pick five advertisements of my own and will describe them and see, in my opinion, if these advertisements do manipulate me in any way. But not only will I examine these and give my opinion, I will describe them and tell what need it is targeting to get our attention the most.…

    The Civil War has arguably been the most important event that America has undergone. The United State’s Civil War, also known as the War between the States, was fought from April 1861 until April 1865. The war was fought over the issues of slavery and the states’ rights. The Springfield, Spencer, Napoleon, and Gatling gun all helped the North and South in winning the Civil War. A large reason the North defeated the South was because of their advantage in weaponry.…

    The whole advertisement is misleading. Why? It gives a wrong impression. It says less wrinkles not every wrinkle will disappear, which is what the viewers have in mind that all the wrinkles will go away. Another misleading fact is that it says sixty minutes. Well what about if you leave it on for sixty minutes but it still hasn’t worked enough so you leave it longer but you think “Oh it’s just 10 minutes more”. They impress the viewer with the sixty minutes when that is not even realistic or possible maybe with a surgery you can have less wrinkles in some hours not with a lotion. Also the viewer doesn’t know what is in the lotion they just put it on because on the advertisement it says it works. The viewer may be putting something on their skin that can damage it permanently.…

    The truth behind a company 's product could remain hidden from the public. The advertisements may be misleading and deceptive. Critics believe that if a company is unrepresentative of its product, a loyal consumer may become an adversary to the company. Advertisers are not afraid to admit that the power of advertisement has been misused over the years but they claim they are not the ones to be blamed.…

    Young dark skinned women found it to be racist due to the ‘before and after’ words. The advert shows a timeline starting from the left with an African American, Latina women in the middle and white woman at the end to the far right. This suggests that getting more visibly beautiful skin means having lighter and whiter skin. Furthermore, not only is it the colour of skin which is found to be an issue but also the models size. The model underneath the word ‘after’ is white, skinny and blonde. The ideology message sent to the audience is that women need to have a particular look, in order to be beautiful. Dove may have not designed the ad in this manner on purpose, but the general public do.…

    The United States is somewhat behind in the attempt to regulate advertising and misleading product claims. “The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) had yet to offer a precise legal definition , and none of the attempts by marketing theorists and others to define deception in advertising has been entirely successful” (Boatright, 2009). Since an ad can legally take advantage of relatively few consumer’s ignorance, just not create a general false belief, it is difficult to prove deceptive advertising motives.…

    Indian ads that are used to set up dowry and marriage proposals usually look for women that are fair to light complexion and women that are darker try to make themselves look as light as possible. There are many stories in which Indian men that are seeking marriage with these women will not meet the woman if she appears to be of darker pigmentation. One prime example of this is an advertisement that mimics the Bollywood film and it is an advertisement for Fair and Lovely, a very popular skin bleach in India. The scene opens up to a family that is struggling with their finances and the father exclaims that if only he had a son then their troubles would all go away. His daughter feels saddened to hear this so she escapes to her room where her mother gives her a large tub of the Fair and Lovely cream. She uses and cream and is able to become light skinned and prosperous because she is able to get a high paying job and support her family. At the end of…

    The goal of the product is to make dark skin lighter, which is the preferred skin tone. This print advertisement for PlayStation Portable White shows a white woman holding the face of an African American woman in a domineering way. The expression on the white woman’s face is one of contempt, while the other woman looks fearful. This is reminiscent of slavery and connotes subservience of black women to people of white ethnicity The clothing is also significant because the dark clothing makes it difficult to see the African American woman, rendering her “invisible”, unimportant and powerless. This advertisement is depicting the white woman as…

    The first thing that grabs my attention with this advertisement is an example of “ethos” because they used a well-known figure, Katy Perry, to promote their product. When you see celebrities that are promoting brands it makes people think “If this product is good enough for them, it is good enough for me.” I feel this mentality occurs more frequently when a celebrity is promoting make up and skin care products. With celebrities having money, they could buy the best brands out there, so when you see them promoting a product that is in a better appeal for many people (ex. Drug store brands) it can sway someone’s opinion.…

    This ad might be considered unethical by a reasonable consumer in the sense that it is in bad taste and possibly offensive, it perpetuates modern sex role stereotypes and an argument could be made about the ad being deceptive. Among these three main issues, one stands out more than the others in finding this ad to be unethical—the ad undeniably perpetuates modern sex role stereotypes.…
