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. After watching the entire commercial it becomes very evident that this commercial is arguing how the way society views and projects females affect women and their concept of themselves. By making this argument in the form of a video, not only does it become exposed to

Although both genders are the target audience, this video is more directed to the female audience because they constantly repeat the phrase “like a girl”. The commercial includes several races in this video and I think it does it to prove that this problem or perception of “like a girl” is not limited to only a certain type of people or race. Also, as mentioned before, the contribution of both males and females in this video that not only kills the stereotype, but also promotes women confidence clearly demonstrates that this perception of “female strength” is not limited to only one gender. Furthermore, the commercial uses ethos by including children, which creates a stronger connection with the audience because children are perceived as innocent, trustworthy, and honest.

Another important constraint could deal with some traditions, beliefs, or habits that have already been ingrained on certain cultures that perceive females to be inferior to males and perhaps using the term “like a girl” is not an insult, but a reminder of what they believe to be true. Lastly, “like a girl” is an issue that is being perceived as a problem because its demonstrating that females are becoming less confident with themselves due to society. WE live in a time where self empowerment is important and welcomed, so seeing that young girls loose it when they go through puberty makes us feel that there is a prole that needs to be fixed because even though both genders have their differences, we should not see and use one of them to insult or make someone feel
