Freedom of expression, diversity, freedom of speech aren't top items on advertiser's agenda. The only item is to put consumption above all else through huge sums of money.
Why is that in advertising, it is usually a woman that is depicted as
- a servant of men and children that reacts to the demands and complaints of her loved ones with a bad conscience and the promise for immediate improvement (wash, food)
- a sexual or emotional play toy for the self-affirmation of men
- a technically totally clueless being that can only manage a childproof operation
- female expert, but stereotype from the fields of fashion, cosmetics, food or at the most, medicine
- as ultra thin
- doing ground-work for others, e.g. serving coffee while a journalist interviews a politician
That's just one stereotype example of this big experiment, probably the biggest psychological experiment undertaken by the human race that only a few care about its consequences.
- x5n1 11y agoThe reason that advertising and consumerism are necessary is that we have a system in place for people to coerce other people to do things, it's called the economy. What if people really did not need that much out of other people? Well then there would be unemployment. The psychological experiment is a socialization experiment to give everyone something to do, so that the system can run and distribute resources... more to some and less to others, depending on how much what they do is valued by other people. Compare that to other systems, whether people are not working for stuff other people want. Everything is very expensive, and everyone is very poor. The system creates a certain order through this psychological experiment. Is that order good or bad depends on what outcomes you are looking for.
