EOC Week 4: Role of Women in Contemporary Advertisements

I don’t think that the role women play in advertising has changed.  Because they are still maintain a certain image.  In most advertisements they are used has sex symbols.  I don’t see a lot of ads where they show you a strong woman.  I think there are a lot of advertisements that do manipulate the role of women in modern day society.

Take a look at my Victoria Secrets image, they are using sex to sell, which is not always fair. I don’t think that many women give their self enough credit not to just be looked at as a sex symbol.  Not ever woman is tall, slender, and a beach babe.  We come in all different sizes.  There are a lot of women now a day that still do depend on a man to take care of them which, in the end reflects to not only society, but as well as how women are looked at in advertising.  If women would see their self worth then we would be a lot stronger gender. I feel as if we would take the responsibility to show everyone what we really stand for that we would get treated and not how we did in the old days.
