Stereotypes In The E. F. Hutton Advertising Campaign
Marketing campaigns embrace stereotypes, some of which are insulting to the target group. No one in a target group for an E.F. Hutton commercial, a firm that offers financial services to wealthy clients, would be insulted. The imagery is of a Forty plus white male who is wearing a suit and tie The classic CEO stereotype is represented in that ad. Compare the E.F. Hutton ad to the Mr. Alan's shoe store commercial. It portrays a cartoon character of indeterminate race who is wearing gym shoes, sagging pants, a giant medallion necklace and a sideways hat. The cartoon character also uses a false bass voice and lyrical rhythm to announce “twenty nine to for fifty.”Many people refuse to shop there despite the bargain prices.

    In Megan Ward’s rhetorical analysis “The Hearts if Argument: Benetton’s Advertising Appeal” one can see how Benetton’s advertisement is targeted towards the general public, To be more precise the general public can be anyone who enjoys shopping at this clothing company to people who have never heard of this clothing company but share the same idea of equality no matter where we come from. The ad was featured on billboards across France and other countries by United Colors of Benetton a clothing company. Ward’s main claim in her rhetorical analysis is to demonstrate how “images and words are often chosen specifically to echo present debates, jokes, concerns, crisis, even other ad campaigns” (Mauk & Metz 116).

    We all have encountered some type of stereotype or prejudices. A stereotype that I had to face was age prejudice by me being so young sometimes people don't set the high expectations for you that other people would at an older age because they expect for you to make mistakes.

When I tell people my age they be like " OMG you are young to be the grade that you are in" this is a perfect example of what I am stating that people sometimes think that you have to be average and can't go over and beyond your years.…

    In today’s mass media, it is quiet common for advertisers to assimilate class into their commercials. These advertisements portray a certain level of elegance because of the sophisticated choice to use classical background music and thick European accents. On the contrary, other advertisers take the common-folk approach by structure these commercials around the western concept. Both of these advertising tactics supports an American paradox. As argued in Jack Solomon’s “Master of Desire: The Culture of American Advertising”, the contradiction lies in the desire to strive above the crowd and the quest for social equality.…

    Advertisements help define the key target goal or the company’s product. This can be done through a certain company evaluating individual’s daily lives. Opinions, current events, and an image of status are such inferences that advisements take into consideration. Forming their idea, companies might use intersectionality by using gender roles, racial practices, and religion to connect the audience with the ad for future profit. A very current and controversial advertisement by Pepsi is just one example that uses multiple aspects of intersectionality to appeal to their audience.…

    As shown within the film Jhally revisited Goffman’s theory of Gender displays which is used to reinforce such notations that women are fragile or they are less than man. With the perspective that sociology has now given me, I can see how even today there is still mass advertisement oppression that is subtle enough those who are not aware would never realize they are being programmed to normalize this images or thoughts. Along with that, the sociological perspective has also allowed me to understand that these subtle oppressions reach further then just gender identity, it showed how there is another sub-division for class and race and how the power of illusion takes place in such ways that it is overlooked until it gets pointed out. An example of this are the ban commercials that did these subtle leaks but got caught and pressured into either removing the ad or facing some other disciplinary actions such as the international clip we were shown in class in which the black man was put into the washer with the new pod packet and came out “clean” as an attractive, fit, light skin man showing off the “white is best” older mentality that has been in some ways declining, but not yet…
