Super Bowl Commercials: What Makes A Man Strong?

Improved Essays
Real Strength Are you tired of seeing the lazy, clueless, awkward dads in commercials? The ones whose largest contribution to raising their kid is "yes honey" as their significant other does all the work? The people watching these ads are modern day families and fathers. Many ads show the mother caring for and cooking for the children while dads gone at work or doing his 'man stuff ' and never show a child with their father. Do commercials that show women doing everything around the house and for her children impact the way a father interacts with his children? In the modern day, most people think that ads should change and give men credibility to what they bring to their children 's life growing up. In the 2015 Super Bowl commercial, …show more content…
Men can be strong, but there are stronger men out there. Strong men are those who their children see him, but they don 't do the interacting with them, They are the ones who make their wife or the mother of their children do all the interacting and parenting of children. A stronger man is the man who do activities and interact with their kids. They are the ones who care. The commercial uses a sweet and calm music in the background along with the voices of the children who look at their dad and say "Daddy" in a sweet and enjoyable voice. Children care for their father and look up to him. They come to him when something is wrong because they 're know daddy will be there for them and have an answer for them when they need help. A stronger man shows that he …show more content…
The way the commercial is arranged sends an emotional vision to mothers and fathers, the aging of their children from being so little jumping into the pool making daddy catch them, too having their children all grown up and married calling dad to tell him that he/her are having a child of their own. Parents get emotional over things like that, so for the ad to go over a lifetime for their kids is a unique way that draws the audience in. The 2015 "Dove Men+Care" commercial shows a great job in showing how modern day fathers interact with their children. Today, mothers aren 't the only ones doing things for their kids and around the house, they are working and doing what the father used to only do. Families are being better managed and both mothers and fathers are a part of children 's lives today. Fathers play and grow with their children just like mothers have always done for their kids. This ad is successful in showing the modern day families how much a father means in a child life. Men are strong and need

    In "Fathering in America: What's a Dad Supposed to Do?," Marie Hartwell-Walker observes that no matter the kind of family situation children are in, fathers are a critical part of their child's lives. Walker displays the majority of how men can father their children, but there is so much more to the important role of being their father in the child's lives. Many have heard that having a strong male influence is important in a young boy's life, but it's equally important for a daughter to have one as well. Throughout the essay, Walker repeatedly notes that more fathers are absent for all or significant periods of time of their child's life. This can either be because the fathers are unable to provide for them financially, are prohibited from seeing them, or because their father's relationship with their mother didn’t go well.…

    Hyundai does not just list horsepower, or special feature of their car, they highlight one of those features using a story that most parents can relate to. This move is just made more effective by the humor and playfulness going into it, taking a situation most dad’s dread to think of, and turning into something they can laugh with. Thinking from the point of view of a father, I can see how this commercial is very effective. Of course Hyundai does not expect dads to start following their daughters on dates like Kevin Hart in the commercial, but by showing him crash three typical date spots, it shows fathers that they can know what their daughters are doing at all time. This is even further reasserted by the slogan “A dads gotta do what a dads gotta do”, right before Kevin Hart asks his daughter what she did that night and turns to smile to the camera.…
