The creators accomplished this by starting the “story” when a young man turned sixteen and received his first car, a Mazda Miata. From this point on, the ad shows and describes every significant event this young man experiences, all with his car. From rambunctious teenage years, to settling down and having a family of his own, to being middle aged with a new sense of self-expression and freedom, he always has a Mazda vehicle to represent that stage in his life.

This directly ties back to Solomon’s theory of humanism because it appeals to the typical humanistic value of a traditional family structure and providing the idea that the car is an essential part of the characteristics of life that make humans what they
