Summary Of 1970's Mustangs

Decent Essays
The commercial depiction of the 2015 Mustang shows a car that is the embodiment of what a muscle/sports car should be: alive, playful, spirit, unleash, and going further. This is different compared to the way the 1970s choose to portray their Mustangs. They had Mustangs winning races, an individual in jail claiming he misses his Mustang rather than his wife or girlfriend. The 1970’s Mustang had the goal of being everyone’s number one. Each commercial differed in three major ways; target audience, musical choice, and presentation.

    In Dan Neil’s article “Company Town: Seduced by a Juicy Burger” published in the LA Times, he criticizes the fast food advertising industry in a sarcastic manner while wondering if the industry has gone too far. The article, written in 2009, is almost laughably outdated compared to today’s carnal advertisements. Today it seems unfeasible for companies not to objectify women in their commercials. This primitive approach fuels the fire in that women are nearly props more so than the product that they’re supposed to be selling.…

    Hegemonic masculinity in advertising Aspects of identity and of masculinity are intersectional, so in order to understand hegemonic masculinity it is important to analyse it in terms of race as well as gender. The key function of advertising is to sell something, whether it is a product, service, lifestyle or message. The majority of advertisements depict life either as ‘normal’ or as ideal, thus it is telling that white men feature more prominently and more positively than men of colour in both television (Luyt, 2012) and magazines (Thomas, 2013). That white masculinity is seen as the default or most desirable form of masculinity highlights the racial aspect of hegemonic masculinity. Luyt (2012) analysed South African television advertisements…

Bright colors are one of many ways that consumers fall into the “mousetrap” that advertisers set to lure in the revenue and profits on their product. Another way that advertisers lure in customers is by using provocative and seductive images. In many cases, these images are correlated with colognes, aftershaves, perfumes, and scented body washes.…

    The advertising industry spends limitless hours and millions of dollars preparing and influencing the way and place in which a person will view their ad. However, within the territory of advertisements, there appears to be a major difference in the way that men and women are portrayed. Also, the design outlines of ads that are targeted towards men or women appear to be different as well. Advertising creates gender stereotypes in the scheme of advertisements in the hopes of alluring to the population, which creates a cultural expectation for the population to follow that model of how a gender should act and perform.…

    Advertisements tend to perpetuate stereotypes, often sexualizing models and displaying them in ways that conform to social norms. I struggled with finding an ad for men’s cosmetics, and found it very interesting that the best example I came across, a L’Oréal ad, had the slogan “Be yourself, and never let go.” This slogan says a lot about the socially constructed concept of masculinity, while the highly controversial ad for Benefit eyeliner clearly perpetuates the construction of femininity. The drastically different ways in which these products are advertised relates to the social phenomenon of gender and its social construction.…
