As seen in the Arab/Muslim world, we see many advertisements directed to many Muslims and Arabs in the world that mainly come from the media and the message they portray about Muslims and Arabs. My essay is on the Images in Advertising in the Arab world. I chose this topic because there are many cons to this topic. I will be focusing on how the media negatively portray women in advertisements and the outcome each advertisement has on the Arab world. In the textbook, there are many examples that portray a lot of stereotypes directed to many Muslim women.

The interaction between Shari’a and international companies is increasing as Western companies seek to expand business into Muslim controlled countries. Muslims represent a quarter of the world’s population and Muslim countries control ten percent of the world’s economy.

It is widely known that organized religion has dramatically shaped every aspect of human identity for several years. For example, in a society currently bombarded by material objects and cluttered advertisements, an interesting relationship between brands and religion has formed. Despite the correlation between the two being invisible to the naked eye, academic scholars have taken great interest in researching how brands operate like religion. With that in mind, the purpose of this essay is to identify and analyze the common attributes between religion and brands. This analysis begins with working definitions of both concepts, in addition to discussing the common attributes which include: formation of human community, focus on human desire, and entering into human relations of exchange.
