    In these cases there would be no defenses against the companies.

    The commercial, “#LikeAGirl”, by Always, focuses on how a girl’s confidence goes down when they hit puberty. ”#LikeAGirl” displays this by telling kids to run, throw and hit like a girl would. The commercial main point is to prove that doing things like a girl should not be used as an insult. Hitting puberty as a woman isn’t supposed to lower confidence. Many women who are athletes have proven that hitting puberty has made them stronger.…

    For my commercial analysis, I chose a very popular Always ad that aired during the 2015 Superbowl. In brief, the ad is assessing the concept of puberty on girls. The video demonstrates a variety of girls-and a few boys- with different age ranges being told to perform certain actions that reveal their definition or idea of doing something “like a girl”. To start off, this commercial is supportive of women and women 's rights. It also promotes both confidence and self-esteem.…

    Always implements pathos once again by demonstrating that younger girl's actions compared to the teenage girls. Showing these two side by side may make the audience, once again, critically analyze how our media does not have a positive impact on girls or women. Everyone in the beginning of the ad reenacts exactly what one would expect to see when asked “run like a girl,” which reinforces Always credibility. The ad shows the impact a female positive message can have on a girl's…

    Fairytales’, being around for several generations, have evolved through time and caught the attention of many folklorists, and demands an explanation of how feminism plays an essential role in today 's culture. Folklorist and author, James Poniewozik wrote, “The Princess Paradox” to raise an attempt to explain the “girls-kick-ass culture” (323). Peggy Orenstein published, “Cinderella and the Princess Culture” to examine and identify the belief of feminism within fairytales.

    I want to use this video because it gives the reasoning behind why Always chose to start the “Like a Girl” Campaign. They said they want to “inspire, empower, and educate girls”. They want to change the saying “like a girl” to a positive meaning. They also talk about how 19% of women perceived “like a girl” as a positive meaning, whereas 6 months after their first video 76% of women thought of “like a girl” in a positive way.…

    After viewing the documentary of “Miss Representation” I found that the message this documentary was sending its viewers was that the media sells the idea that women are visualized and praised for their beauty, sexuality and youth rather than their intellectualism and leadership skills. “Miss Representation” exposes the ugly truth behind the media and politics towards women. I found this documentary to be persuasive and successful in bringing awareness to both men and women, of what the “normal “everyday women goes through and the pressure they attain because of the media by the following supported claims. This documentary highlights the importance of what is advertised through the media and how it affects us, the many different statistics…

    Everyone initially asked preformed an over feminized caricature of the action. Then the video pans to the same query asked to a group of girls between 10 and 12 and due to their innocence to the term they preform each action to the best of their ability rather than stagnated. After the former group is asked the implication of the phrase upon the self-esteem and confidence of a young girl going through adolescence the group experiences an epiphany and understands their flawed views. After the young ladies of the group gave their advice to young girls who hear and experience this schema the group retries their action, to the voice of “like a girl”, to the best of their ability rather than anything lesser. The message sent through this ad is a powerful one, it shows the impact that this mentality can cause disastrous results and sets an already danger precedence.…

    That was the very key to this digital campaign. Instead of simply focusing on how to push their product and why their product is great, Always focused on something that is universally important. They focused on the question, “What is wrong here?” and sought an answer to “How can we make it better.” The campaign is for and about women, and therefore bound to resonate with them. This brilliant marketing campaign made a large splash, but is not exactly new in terms of marketing ideas.…
