Victoria's Secret

retail space (a store, a mall) for the sale of goods to consumers (while at the same time adding significant amounts for shipping to consumers). Yet it has also emerged simultaneously with the expansion of global chain stores, such as the Gap, Victoria’s Secret, Barnes and Noble, and many others, as well as the success of big-box retailers and massive discount stores such as Costco and Wal-mart. Many aspects of these patterns of consumption are not wholly new, though; online consumerism recalls…

Social standards of women’s body images are presented in all types of media, constricting our own depiction of women and replacing it with the unofficial rules of society—women must be thin, attractive, have flawless skin, perfectly whitened teeth, act as sexual objects, and must be portrayed as such. Not only does this affect society’s views of women as a whole, but it also enforces internalization of these thoughts by women themselves. Mass media’s use of unrealistic models sends a message to…

Advertisement exposure has increased throughout the years. Smith (n.d.) points out that even though we cannot pinpoint the precise number of exposure that the average person experiences through auditory or visual advertisements, the theoretical number of 5,000 ad exposures a day continue to increase each decade. The idea of the ever increasing ad bombardment is to market a product, increase economy and also allows some businesses to prosper such as the media. However, in the United States,…

The Facts Publicity for Eating Disorders was nonexistent until Karen Carpenter died in 1983 due to anorexia. This was the first time the mass media was exposed to the seriousness of eating disorders. After Carpenter’s death, anorexia became known as the “disorder of the 80’s”. An estimate of up to 3.7% of women suffers from anorexia nervosa in their lifetime and about 1% of adolescent females’ have anorexia. If anorexia was considered the disorder of the 80’s perhaps bulimia was the disorder…

Watching this film broadened my view of how the society I live in, works. Being black in America is truly one of the most horrific and challenging experiences a human being can go through. In America, slavery has been reincarnated through the decades to the Jim Crow laws and in present day, the prison system. Since the coming of our ancestors two centuries ago, our people have been mistreated and denied basic rights. Prior to watching The 13th, although I was not ignorant of the present issues…

Aerie’s “Real Me” Collection: Making More than Just a Statement Think of the characteristics of the average modeling agency. They want thin to the bone models with perfect hair, perfect skin, and over an hour’s worth of Photoshop work before plastering images all over the internet, building walls, and in magazines. According to dosomething.org, approximately 91% of women are unhappy with their bodies. Aerie’s “Real Me” advertisement sets out to make a statement like never before, with untouched…

Stock car driving is a man’s game, right? Wrong. Some people assume that only a real man’s man can speed along the tracks, executing sharp turns while burning rubber and leaving skid marks. Those people, however, have never encountered Danica Patrick. For those of you who don’t know, Danica Patrick is one of the most successful female stock car drivers in the world. She has been driving professionally since the late 1990s and in that time has established herself as one of the most dominant…

model. For centuries, companies have used attractive models to help sell their products, such as clothing. Although the fashion industry seems harmless and fun, it creates many problems in society. Most companies like Calvin Klein, Levi’s, and Victoria’s Secret use the sexual appeal of advertising by portraying extremely skinny models who have been photoshopped to hide their flaws. The fashion industry negatively affects the mental health of teens through lack of diversity, cultural…

“Erica Albright's a bitch. You think that's because her family changed their name from Albrecht or do you think it's because all BU girls are bitches? For the record she may look like a 34C, but she's getting all kinds of help from our friends at Victoria's Secret. She's a 34B, as in barely anything there. False advertising.” (TSN). This shows that Mark, in fact is the type of person who betrays someone by making them look terrible to other people. In comparison to Macbeth, they both seem to…
