    It is everywhere, an always present force that comes from every direction. It often appears fast, catching one’s attention, then vanishing just as quick; many think they are left unscaved, yet they fail to realize its true effect works like a shadow, following a person, slowly creeping into his or her thoughts, working its mind control. It is neither flying fowl or airborne aircraft, but rather something much more mundane and overlooked. It is advertising. Some may see this as being a malevolent force, having powers too great, powers that could corrupt the minds of the unsuspecting masses.…

    There needs to be more self-love, and advertisement should not be trying to tear people down in order to make more money. Inspiring women and men and making them feel comfortable with themselves and their natural attributes can also be a selling point for advertisement. There needs to be less judgment an idealization and more self-love. This starts with all consumers, people like myself, to speak out when advertisement clearly shows these damaging views. I will be more vocal about the messages that are being spread to advertisements and use my voice to try to spread more…

    Faults in the advertisement come in to play, as it insists that natural beauty is in fact not natural beauty at all, but foundation on the skin made to look flawless. In addition, the ad suggests that the reasons behind wearing makeup are to gain the opposite genders attention and to appeal to their liking. The ad raises the question: Why can’t women wear make up to feel good about themselves? And why isn’t natural beauty not defined as the natural skin women are given? After all shouldn 't a magazine, solely for women, praise them for who they are verses their appearance?…

    Women will always try to measure up to be – or look like an image that is unattainable for even the model herself. With these unrealistic images guiding them, it could cause major self-esteem issues. Males viewing these advertisements will grow up believing that women are objects, or that they are placed here to please men.

    Unfortunately in every business there is the good the bad and the evil. I assume some marketing efforts are driven for the sole purpose of making money. Industries and organizations worldwide benefit and profit significantly from distorting consumer perceptions and creating new “needs”, desires and wants as a means of generating profit. In this particular instance, organizations profit from distorting woman’s perception of what a “socially acceptable” or socially desirable” female body looks like. Advertisements of models generate unrealistic standards for the vast majority of all consumers, men, woman and children around the world.…

    Calvin Klein included an abundant amount overly sexualized women. The women in the advertisements rarely had an acceptable amount of clothing, most models were dressed in underwear with an exception of a few wearing dresses. Many of the models were posed in inappropriate positions to sell the product with as much “sex appeal” as possible.

    Beside these ads are comments posted regarding the amazing and fantastic appearance of these women. It is photographs such as these that give women the impression that unless they are 5’8 and weigh 100 pounds they are somehow fat and ugly. Models are a great example because they are encouraged to stay at an unhealthy weight. When a designer has new clothes sewn, there is as little material as possible used until after a showing of the new designs. The models wearing these clothes need to be a small size in order to fit into them.…

    The advertisement itself says much about how sexuality is commonly viewed in society and makes almost effortless to tell which audience it is intended to target. In the advertisement, the first thing the audience would notice is a headless man in a (some shade of) blue colored suit standing over a blonde woman wearing a bikini. Once whoever is viewing this advertisement sees the woman, it takes almost no time for one to notice her rather large breasts. She also looks almost surprised by his…
