enviromental Campaign

WWF did a campaign for climate change that said "stop climate change before it changes you" and it was a picture of  a man with the head of a fish. The ad is very powerful because it shows us in reverse evolution such as that we might have to resort to living under water because of global warming the oceans could overflow and some cities below sea level could flood. The image they produced in 2008 was one of is most hard hitting images to ever be produced.

The issue with gender stereotyping is that its not always true, when we see the commercial of the girl in the cottage playing house and doing the cleaning and laundry as well as cooking. While that may seem what the majority of girls want to do it isn't want all of them want to play. Growing up I knew girls that liked to play with the boys and play rough and play with little hot wheels. But I also knew girls that did like to play houses and play with dolls. Gender stereotyping is done because it affects the majority of the market.
When advertisers are looking to make toy ads they look at what will produce more money. A hot wheels ad is more likely to feature boys playing with them than girls just like a barbie commercial is bound to feature girls playing with them rather than guys. Advertisement is all about making money and companies make more money if they follow stereotypes because after all stereotypes have some truth behind them

What I love about advertising is how creative ads can be, especially with Super Bowl ads, I think to myself wow these people are really creative and who cam up with that? It really allows people to be creative and funny and how to properly express that. What I hate about advertising is how it is about money, the more money you can bring in with an ad the more they like you. Another thing I'm not a fan about is how you can't get rid of ads in videos on youtube. Consumers like me do not like to be spam by ads so thats another thing I dislike about that

Gender sterotyping is when we assume that boys are into the color blue, are masculine, likes to play with race cars, action figures, like to get dirty and like to play rough, while we picture girls that like the color pink, are innocent, like to play nice. things of that nature. When we se an ad for boys, its often loud, violent, like for hot wheels we see fast action movements and we see two boys playing, never a boy and a girl. However for girls advertisements like barbies, we can see two girls playing, the music is soft and the barbie is usually a stewardess or just out to have fun and likes to shop. Whats to say that a boy wouldn't want to play with a barbie, or a girl want to play with hot wheels. When boys or girls break out of the gender norm they are often ridiculed by their peers and can lead into depression especially at a young age. I believe gender stereotyping is the norm because that is what society is used to and so ad agencies use the norm to reach out the most customers as opposed to being the most ethical.

Race is always a taboo subject and I think in the advertising world it is a fine line between being justifiable and being racist. There are times where it can be an honest mistake and it could have gone un noticed till it is too late. Raceism in advertisement isn't a thing of the past because raceism still exists. I believe that advertisers should make ethical and wise decisions before airing or displaying an AD. The VW ad with the arabic man filled with explosives trying to do a car bomb was slightly funny but I found it offensive, it was aired during a time when car bombings where happing all to often in the middle east and for VW to play an ad like that was rude and unethical. It showed that all arabic men are responsible for car bombs, however thats not the case its using stereotyping that all arabic men are terrorist.
