Abstract
In this article the writer discusses that in "A Gentleman and a Consumer", Diane Barthel insists that "a growing fascination with appearances has led to a feminization of culture". The writer notes that she claims this is evident in ads directed at men. The writer chooses print ads for similar men's products and analyzes them for evidence of "feminization".
From the Paper
"For decades, the sun weathered, rugged and dusty persona of the Marlborough Man overseeing his herd of cattle on the wind swept high chaparral of western United States symbolized masculinity in the perceived eyes of the consumer. Almost anyone exposed to American advertising since the early 1960's associates him with a particular brand of cigarettes. This western character, however, as social scientists contend, also serves to represent a more significant facet in and of our popular culture."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses the subject of advertising and the content of advertisements. The writer makes use of the analysis of the content of three advertisements in order to discuss the concept of the effective form of advertising.
From the Paper
"Advertising is most effective when it creates an emotional connection in the audience. This emotional connection promotes a conceptual fulfillment of the advertisement, suggesting that the advertisers only need to go part of the way in creating the advertisement and the emotional response will then enable the audience to fill in the perceived gaps between what the advertiser offers and what they wish to see in the advertisement. The most effective forms of advertising are thus those which play upon some form of emotional status."

Abstract
This paper explores the issue of ethics in business advertising. Specifically, this paper looks at the problem that unethical or manipulative advertising can present to vulnerable consumers. The writer discusses that on one hand, many people feel that advertisers should not be afraid to aggressively market products so long as they do not out-and-out dissemble. The writer shows that on the other hand, there are those that feel that corporations need to carefully weigh beforehand the possible social effects of a particular marketing campaign.
From the Paper
"The matter of whether or not certain kinds of advertising are morally wrong is an interesting issue - and a vitally important one. As our society becomes increasingly inundated with ever more sophisticated advertising, it behooves people to examine the kinds of advertising pervading our society; it also prompts the asking of many questions. To begin with, are some types of advertising morally wrong? If so, what ethical principles do they violate? These are critical questions and they demand answers."

Abstract
The following assignment is for a second year business and society course. The topic of this paper is the effect of advertising on consumerism. Using an article from Heath, it is argued that advertising and consumerism are not closely related. The writer maintains that increased consumerism is the result of competition and not advertising. The writer concludes that the other argument is wrong. "
From the Paper
"Consumerism has been a topic of interest for a number of years. Many researchers believe that consumerism is a negative thing. These critics usually link the rise of consumerism to advertising. However, there are some critics that argue that consumerism and advertising have little to do with each other. In 'The Efficient Society' Joseph Heath's theory is that consumerism and advertising are not intimately connected. In fact, Heath's argument suggests that competition and social status are the driving force behind the increase in consumerism. For example, Heath states, 'Thus comparative consumption can easily become competitive consumption'."

From the Paper
"This paper explores the relationship between Michael Jordan and Nike. Along the way, this paper looks at how the image of Michael Jordan as an African-American was used to sell Nike apparel and also at how a particular lifestyle was used to promote Nike products. Additionally, this paper focuses briefly on some of the racial dynamics at play in the classic Nike ads featuring Jordan as well as upon how Nike used the concept of 'rebellion' to sell the Jordan line - even if consumer rebellion was hardly what they had in mind. In conclusion, this paper should reinforce yet again how the metaphors found in any commercial reveal deeper truths about a society's yearnings and attitudes. The relationship of Michael Jordan with Nike was one of the most successful partnerships in the history of sports marketing."

Abstract
This paper reviews the troubling issue of eating disorders and low self-image among women who are constantly inundated with unrealistic portrayals of 'western' beauty in popular culture. The author points out the dynamic nature of the 'ideal female form' over time. The paper explores the effects of this western image upon non-western cultures that have been inundated with western advertising in the global age.
From the Paper
"The issue of how women are portrayed in the mass-media of contemporary society is an exceedingly interesting one; it is also vitally important. For the professional anthropologist, understanding this complex phenomenon is a major first step towards understanding the gender stereotypes and assumptions that have, in large measure, defined our society. Put another way, to understand the treatment of women in popular magazines and advertisements is to understand their treatment in our homes, offices and even schools. This paper will examine how the 'ideal female form' - at least as it is depicted in our popular culture - vitiates the health of women, re-affirms traditional gender roles, and impresses upon non-western cultures a western conception of female physical beauty that is inherently unhealthy. To buttress this contention, a number of steps are obviously in order."

Not feeling all that happy, I left the bar and was almost run over by a city bus adorned with ads promoting the comfort, efficiency and safety of city buses."

Contents:
introduction
Marketing
Advertising and Public Relations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In today's consumer-driven economy, people no longer buy for economic value or reason but because of the influence of images created by advertisement in media, which has become a powerful determinant on the purchasing decisions of consumers (Chen-yu, J. & Seock, Y. (2000). This perception of present-day consumer behavior confirms that in the efforts of businesses to connect with consumer, it has come to a point where the quality of advertising is more important than the quality of a product. Thus, a product may fall short of standards and is inferior to its competitors, but if the advertising done to promote the product is clever and effective, business will be good for the company involved."

As has been the case with other great Western artists and thinkers, Descartes has become commodified. People only know about his philosophy to the extent that he has been successfully used to sell things: either the idea of philosophy itself or some product. Just as the Mona Lisa seems at this point to have been used to sell nearly everything, Descartes' declaration that I think ... "
