  1. media is one of the most common forms of communication
  2. in today's technology dependent time through media platforms such as
  3. facebook twitter and videos.
  4. Individuals in society are presented with both a clear and
  5. consistent stream objected expectations and are given models to imitate.
  6. Today, it is normal for men to be portrayed as
  7. strong and funny, whilst females are more likely percent presented
  8. in a physically attractive way.
  9. Gender specific portrayals are continuously reinforced by the many media
  10. platforms. And unfortunately without media changing the way it portrays
  11. gender or forever be difficult for gender stereotypes to change
  12. gender roles are still evident and there are still stereotypical
  13. relations to gender identities, even though there are theories that
  14. explained in a development like the social learning theory, which
  15. highlights that our social environment, including the media, influences our
  16. gender development.
  17. This teaches us that we learn from observation and as
  18. a child, we construct our agenda from what we see
  19. around us, meaning Children, influenced by those around them and
  20. then what is it and accept agenda.
  21. Therefore, the question we should ask ourselves is if society
  22. is changing and gender identities are becoming more accepted alongside
  23. gender equality, why advertisements not following this pattern?
  24. Why are we letting advertisements continue to promote gender negatively?
  25. The initial issue is that patterns we see and advertisements
  26. are often related to two genders.
  27. Female and male according to stats.
  28. NZ in new Zealand, gender refers to a person's social
  29. and personal identity as male, female or another gender or
  30. non binary.
  31. Gender definition also highlights that as a person, gender can
  32. change and may not be the same as it was
  33. in booth.
  34. However, even with this definition of acceptance of gender identities
  35. and gender expressions, New Zealand and other countries still provide
  36. the majority of advertisements that focus on male or female
  37. gender. The patterns that follow women and advertisements are often
  38. those of sexualization and objectification.
  39. This is because women often wearing little to no clothing
  40. and a further dehumanized through image choice and are often
  41. seen in images as submissive women.
  42. And most advertisements are sexual objects or subjects because more
  43. than often the woman in the advertisements are skinny, have
  44. flawless appearances and is showing the perfect body Male parents,
  45. advertisements are completely different hormones patterns.
  46. Males are often showcases the dominant gender.
  47. Is there more often placed in front or main frame
  48. of the image and advertisement and are looking directly at
  49. the camera.
  50. Males often seem fully clothed in advertisements and thus are
  51. presented in a much higher and authoritative and happier way
  52. being compared to women.
  53. These patterns can be seen in the example of the
  54. perfume advertisements provided media such as advertisements focused mainly on
  55. men and their dominance.
  56. With five out of every six names and the media
  57. are that of mail.
  58. Even when women are dominating their book, they're sexualized and
  59. often wearing little to no clothing perfume and I'm gonna
  60. often most commonly the models that are used even men's
  61. cologne adverts, the word used in the deal advert.
  62. What would you do for love is even implying that
  63. a woman would do anything including sexualized themselves for love
  64. issue with these advertisements.
  65. That is that they're both gender, stereotypical and gender specific.
  66. Brandon discusses that my gender colour coding into pinks and
  67. blues and setting different general expectations for specific genders, conveying
  68. messages based on gender stereotypes, influencing how we treat boys
  69. and gifts.
  70. Both these advertisements separate girls and boys and associate, for
  71. example, girls of Princesses and ballerinas and boys with blue
  72. and cuts.
  73. This is a stereotypical patterns and portrays how a child
  74. to grow up and what they should do to achieve
  75. their general ultimately shaping the pathway of action and understanding
  76. for both females and males as we grow and develop
  77. similar. They like the psycho dynamic theory.
  78. This theory is consistent with advertisements when Children are brought
  79. up in society that values male dominance and feels female
  80. observance. It encourages Children to grub and follow these rules,
  81. influencing general court inequalities and reducing the acceptance of different
  82. gender identities.
  83. Catherine Frith created the Tryout party analysis, which consists of
  84. three steps, analyze advertisements.
  85. First step, the service meaning consists the first impression that
  86. the reader or viewer gets from their initial quick study
  87. of the advertisement.
  88. This initial service meaning can be described through, for example,
  89. listing all the objects and people seen in the advertisement.
  90. The second step, the intended meaning can be explained as
  91. the advertisers intended meaning.
  92. This is the sales message.
  93. The advertisers trying to relay this stage can also be
  94. referred to as the strategy behind the ad or the
  95. expected meaning.
  96. Third is the cultural or ideological meaning.
  97. The step relies on the knowledge of the reader.
  98. Everyone makes sense of things like advertisements by relating into
  99. culture and shared or common beliefs.
  100. Ideological values are often expressed through for example stereotyping an
  101. advertisement. Many sales messages are built on cultural and ideological
  102. police pushed by advertisers rely on this system.
  103. The service meaning behind these geeky advertisements consists of in
  104. the first cover, a well known singer who was wearing
  105. no clothing with your body facing directly at the camera
  106. and facial expressions looking sexualized.
  107. This is also Uh huh.
  108. There is also no writing surrounding her.
  109. Her body is the focus of the cover.
  110. On the next cover is a well known actor but
  111. he is fully clothed, smiling, looking directly to camera and
  112. is surrounded by text.
  113. The intended meaning of both of these G.
  114. Q. Advertisements is to grab the attention of males as
  115. the G.
  116. Q. This is geek.
  117. Use target market, they do this through both sophistication and
  118. sexualization. There are two ideological meanings.
  119. One is that the woman's cover implies the women should
  120. look like GQ smooth.
  121. Here portrays a belief that women should take off their
  122. clothes and bear all to be noticed.
  123. The other cover, which features the male, carries the belief
  124. that men have power and are hard workers borrowing the
  125. lines of typical male general.
  126. Both advertisements for the typical and traditional gender stereotypes indicating
  127. that G.
  128. Q. Does not set trends rather influences negative gender stereotypes
  129. and ideal look ideologies of what it's like to be
  130. male and female.
  131. The service meaning of this advertisement is that we need
  132. to stay home to prevent further spread of the coronavirus
  133. through the use of imagery.
  134. The audience is able to see that the advertisement is
  135. saying that women need to play their part and do
  136. all the chores, such as cleaning and caring in the
  137. home environment to keep everyone safe while the males can
  138. relax. The intended meaning is in this advertisement simple.
  139. The UK government wants to make sure people during the
  140. coronavirus pandemic, stay at home and know that by doing
  141. so they will be saving lives including their own.
  142. The ideological meaning can be shaped from the backlash.
  143. This advertisement has received Many people hold the belief that
  144. it is sexist because depicting several households showed only one
  145. man lounging on the sofa and several women or performing
  146. household chores.
  147. The ideological meaning that this ad has gained is based
  148. off gender stereotypes, that gives men typical ideas of power
  149. and women ideas of housework and care.
  150. The surface meaning for this advertisement is that Victoria's secrets
  151. found the perfect bodies and these women are all what
  152. is regarded as perfect.
  153. Any other body shape is imperfect and should feel insecure
  154. and unattractive.
  155. The intended message is to showcase victoria's secret new line
  156. of company and perfect brassed scientists supposedly fit all women
  157. ideological meaning follows along the lines of the gender based
  158. body shape.
  159. It attacks the belief and values that women should have
  160. about their bodies.
  161. This advertisement poses and influences a negative body image to
  162. women and sets the belief that to be perfect and
  163. to have perfect bodies, you must be tall, skinny and
  164. slim and be beautiful, impacting and influencing body image disturbance
  165. with this body image expectation.
  166. Women internalize the ideal just like the social learning theory
  167. discusses ultimately allowing women and girls to share and learn
  168. to build a belief in body despite this stratification, leading
  169. to eating disorders and other gentle related issues.
  170. Patriarchy, privilege and power.
  171. Patriarchy, as described by miller is and has been a
  172. powerful concept which has influenced how we understand, maintain enforced
  173. contest and even adjusted to society and social order.
  174. Patriarchy is a system one that delivers material benefits to
  175. majority of mounds dependent on race, class and sex vote
  176. orientation is a system that completely restricts women.
  177. Patriarchy ultimately sets the standard of female beauty and masculine
  178. toughness. It is about valuing of masculine lee and my
  179. illness and the devaluing of humanity and femaleness.
  180. This is a common pattern seen an advertisement today and
  181. previously discussed in the G.
  182. Q. And coronavirus advertisements.
  183. Males and actual advertisement example have the power males of
  184. the dominant gender and have been for a very long
  185. time. And the woman on the other hand I used
  186. to use and develop for their beauty and our housewife
  187. nature privileges defined by Collins Dictionary as a special advantage
  188. that only one individual particular group has most often resulting
  189. in power over others because of wealth or higher social
  190. class. Most often white males are dominating in the sense
  191. of privilege especially when compared to females and those are
  192. the different race.
  193. This can clearly be seen in the advertisements, particularly the
  194. geeky advertisement.
  195. Males are portrayed as the gender that have the advantage
  196. of the females, making male look more powerful, dominating and
  197. entitled, thus continuing to feed the perception of male dominance
  198. and male privilege.
  199. This can be seen in the coronavirus.
  200. An advertisement to the nails are left to do the
  201. housework or males relax, making women feel powerless and left
  202. privileged. Power is defined in the column statuary means to
  203. have significant amount of control and influence over both people
  204. and activities.
  205. This definition is very significant to advertisers and it's something
  206. they employ to grab the reader's attention that power over
  207. an audience people would not trust nor believe what they're
  208. advertising. The advertisers utilize the power underway that portrays people
  209. in certain ways.
  210. They use their power to send a message.
  211. One that is not always correct but becomes believable through
  212. the power of portrayal and certain associations.
  213. For example, in the duty of entitlement, appetite has utilized
  214. the belief that male has the power creating a cover
  215. that showcase the stereotype.
  216. Further all these definitions, Dickerson highlights that it is important
  217. to realize that issues of both power and privilege a
  218. result of patriarchy to notice patriarchy in our lives, we
  219. need to listen and not blame, but rather be educated.
  220. Education ultimately influenced patriarchy power and privilege in our lives.
  221. So we can therefore be educated on how to not
  222. let it influence us negatively.
  223. We can learn to consider, for example, females alongside males,
  224. that women have equal rights and as men or that
  225. both men and women should be respected equally and not
  226. one exploited more than the other.
  227. Intersectionality is a definition that is used to identify and
  228. examine multiple forms of inequalities concerning the various experts social
  229. marketing identity such as race class and gender.
  230. By employing intersectional perspectives, we can uncover the complexity of
  231. meanings embedded in the advertising.
  232. Each of the advertisement examples previously discussed negatively engage in
  233. sexuality simply because each of these advertisements do not include
  234. a complex mix of identities, they rather choose what identity
  235. they want to be empowered and forget about every other
  236. race class and gender advertisements ultimately take advantage of particular
  237. people. Genders and races for economic gain.
  238. They create inequalities like CNN each advertisement example, thank you
  239. The advertisement stereotypically sexualized women and gives power to me
  240. showcasing inequalities and gender, thus influencing gender inequality and gender
  241. hierarchy, coronavirus.
  242. We can identify through images of women and home at
  243. home and what they traditionally do best.
  244. The housework that this advertisers does not consider the gender
  245. inequalities rather endorses them.
  246. Victoria's secret.
  247. Ultimately, this advertisement is influencing body image inequalities which can
  248. lead to body respect, dissatisfaction and other issues.
  249. This victoria's secret advertisement holds many body image inequalities which
  250. are linked to gender stereotypes.
  251. This presentation topic has made me see that even in
  252. today's society, there are still issues and inequalities railing to
  253. gender in the media, the way gender is portrayed in
  254. media plays a significant role in societies, ideas and understandings.
  255. Therefore, I have come to see that it is important
  256. to be inclusive, accepting and open to all the aspects
  257. relating to gender.
  258. So whether society can build stronger and better gender related
  259. behaviors further implement into positivity.
  260. This presentation took an in depth look at three advertisements
  261. and discusses key concepts such as privilege and power, that
  262. showcase to me the important role that tradition, traditional concepts
  263. still playing the development of society and society.
  264. These norms, I've come to realize that even through representations
  265. of gender and media today, we are becoming more acceptable
  266. and open.
  267. But society still has a long way to prove that
  268. that we are open, welcoming and accepting and build on
  269. people's genders and abolish stereotypes and create a media environment
  270. that follows and challenges this tradition.
