    With the advents of technology, advertisements depict women as desirable commodities this has poisoned the minds of many young women ultimately morphing values and beliefs. Women are shown in subordinate, submissive, and male pleasing roles. Media and advertisement representation reflects and reinforces sexism in society today. The social standards of beauty and feminism are set by Hollywood’s greatest celebrities. They do this by alluring women into buying cosmetic products affirming the concept of female beauty. Companies such as “bebe”, apply the same technique to persuade women in buying their apparel. In the ad “bebe”, the company portrays a woman holding a bright red lipstick getting off a taxi while flaunting a revealing dress. On the other side, she is shown obeying all rules, in bed with black revealing lingerie with an enticing text, “9pm to 5am obey all the rules, you miss all the fun”. The ad amplifies its message and allures its audience to disobey all the rules if they want to become “the bad girl” by purchasing “bebe’s” apparel.…

    First screen shows the words Jennifer Garner for Neutrogena in all gray. This commercial stars Jennifer Garner who is wearing a white blouse and in the background is an all white room. Jennifer starts off by asking “Does your moisturizer protect your face Against (in blue) the environment?” There is guitar music in the background. She mentions the things on the environment that can affect your skin like the sun, pollution (picture of a city), cold (trees covered in snow), wind (tree blowing in the wind) and indoor heat (heating vent). “Introducing Neutrogena Multi-defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 15” (shows bottle) Bottle is white with a gray lid the word are all gray except Multi-defense that’s blue. The background turns blue with the bottle and lines pointing to - “Fortified with Anti-Pollutants + Anti-Oxidants + Vitamins C&E”. “It delivers hydration and daily protection.” The background turns back to the white room with Jennifer smiling saying “For healthy looking beautiful skin.” The end scene is the white room with the Neutrogena bottle sitting next to the works “NEW Neutrogena Multi-Defense Daily Moisturizer Developed with Dermatologist.”(The works all in gray.) This used the famous person appeal because it used Jennifer Garner. I believe it is effective because it tells the audience a way to help them deal with everyday skin problems and everyone wants that. I watched this on Animal Planet.…

    The story I went with was One More To Lake by E.B White. To me his story felt poetic. He was mesmerized by the smells of the cabin he would stay in as a child. Reason being that I chose poetic writing for E.B White is because how he carefully he chose his words for his story. “I guess I remembered clearest of all the mornings, when the lake was cool and motionless, remembered how the bedroom smelled of lumber it was made of and of the wet woods whose scent entered the screen” (White 97).…

    I believe that the definition of elitist and populist has changed significantly throughout the years. Populist is still revolved around patriotism, bright colors, and country setting. Elitist is still circled around elegance and wealth. But the way that they both are interpreted by Americans has changed. With advertisements being about behavior modification instead of selling products, it has changed what Americans want and need. They want to be like the leaders and powerful people of the country but they also want to fit in. Advertisements show audiences what they could be like and they should want to be like if they want to fit in with the crowd. Posture is a significant change in advertising today. Solomon describes how eye contact is a huge contribution in whether an ad is elite or not, “Advertisers have been quick to exploit the status signals that belong to body language as well” (169), but posture over time has clearly proven that it a great representation on either populist or elitist. You can still tell the difference of whether an advertisement is elitist or populist in todays’ advertisements. The sign of a good advertisement is that the culture has illusion over reality (Solomon 176). The Covergirl advertisement is a well representation of being elitist. It has the dark colors, formal black clothing, and a solid colored background. The title also sounds elitist because of its use of the word superpowers. It shows that this product will make you a more powerful person if you own it. Manipulation is snuck into the advertisement by putting a popular face as the spokesperson for Covergirl. When looking at the advertisement the attention is drawn directly to Pink instead of the product itself. “The logic of advertising is entirely semiotic: it substitutes signs for things, framed visions of consumer desire for the thing itself.” (Solomon…

    When thinking of advertisements, for some odd reason, I immediately will think of Cover Girl makeup ads that are often found in almost every woman’s magazine. However, this particular advertisement features country music superstar Taylor Swift and very similar to all of their distinctive ads focuses mostly on her face. This ad is for their new “natureluxe silk foundation- luxury touched by nature.” From this relatively simple ad, as it only contains a close up of Taylor Swift as well as text, it allows for the discussion of it’s unique aesthetics.…

    Queen Lili’uokalani was an amazing woman who made many important decisions and made many sacrifices that have changed the world ever since. The hawaiian warrior like culture is very centered around males and their power and forceful ability to conquer and maintain the beautiful land of Hawaii. Queen Lili’uokalani was the sister of the last king of the hawaiian kingdom. When the queen was just 4 years old she attended the Royal School on Oahu founded by king kamehameha III.

Hawaii went through many tough times as they were struggling economically and striving to have a larger demand for their sugar cane which also at the same time caused more attention to an annexation to the kingdom.…
