sell the product that they are making. In Old Spice’s commercial, “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like”, the director focuses on the insecurities and desires that men have. Specifically, the director uses visual and auditory imagery to portray an ideal picture of what a man will be after using their product.

70’s shows that many male social workers experience conflicts with their gender identity (Kadushin, 1976). I believe that the number of men in social work is much larger now than it was in the 70’s. Maybe in the 70’s it was much more rare to see a man in a woman’s profession, which is why there was thought of men having issues with gender identity.

A Mans Body Wash It is not unlikely that many of us have seen the Old Spice commercials starring the confident and fast-talking Isaiah Mustafa, also known as “The Old Spice Man”. These ads have become an entire series of some of the most popular commercials on television and the Internet. The first Old Spice ad I saw illustrates Isaiah Mustafa riding a white horse on a sandy beach holding a bottle of Old Spice body wash.

require the protection of a man in order to thrive in society. Women may try to regard themselves as strong characters too, but they need to reflect upon the standards of a man in order to determine such a thing.
