In my opinion, Dove’s promotional campaign is one of the favorable campaigns, because it helped in reframing the way in which people consider and view beauty of a female in a positive manner. Dove used an attractive tagline, ‘Imagine a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety’ in its campaign (Hopkins, 2015). With this tagline, the company focused on educating girls and women for building self-esteem, and creating healthy perception in them. In the campaign, the company targeted females of 18-34 years age. The company, however, targeted women of upper middle class and high income ...

The two denominations share a significant number of beliefs and practices but also ...

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a triangle comprising of five levels of needs. Physiological needs (such as baby food) are at the bottom but the largest level (Hollensen, 1).

Lack of food will result in malnutrition, which is apparent to the naked eye (Sheth and Rajendra, 99). Chinese business systems are unique and sophisticated as attested to by their highly developed systems and practices (Hollensen, 3). A wide ...

In her poem “Barbie Doll” Marge Piercy describes the way the society treats women. ...

The use of advertisements by companies helps in communicating a certain message about their product. The advert has to be spot on if it seeks to capture the attention of a person. Hence, most adverts feature attractive messages, images, slogans or promotions ideal for the particular product. The fashion and beauty industry focuses on using young, slender and beautiful models to conveying their message. However, it might not please the multitude that does not fit the displayed model, and it brings out the issue of stereotypes in women. Unilever saw the loophole in such imagery and thought of a ...

For Saussure (67), the linguistic sign is constructed through the relationship of two other notions: the signifier and the signified. The arbitrariness of this relationship is what advertisers take advantage of in subliminally showing a different meaning to their advertisements. The same can be seen in the advertisements for Axe’s Excite and Dove’s Go Sleeveless deodorants. Whereas the former’s Even Angels Will Fall ad conforms to the fantasies that men have regarding their masculinity, Dove’s commercial conforms to the supposed liberation of women by going sleeveless. Advertisers subliminally change this meaning by associating a different ...
