Ram’s advertisement immediately begins by utilizing logos and pathos to embolden women to fight against stereotypes. First, the commercial’s narration uses a series of repetitive rhetorical questions to inspire the audacious emotions of the audience. Ram repeats “have you ever thought” multiple times to capture the female viewer’s attention. This technique establishes an understanding and inviting tone that prepares the viewer for Ram’s overarching message. Next, allowing the viewer to ponder these rhetorical questions, Ram briefly pauses the narration.

In “Propaganda Techniques in Today 's Advertising” by Ann McClintock, the author discusses how Americans are being brainwashed by advertisements and the different techniques they use to catch our attention. Ads are simply everywhere we look, it is impossible to get through the day without seeing one. All advertising companies put tons of research into how consumers spend money or even vote. Once these companies finish their research, they create advertisements that appeal to the masses.

Each one of these propaganda techniques is used in specific ways by advertisers to sell their product or service to consumers. I have selected a political ad which uses the Glittering Generalities technique, a coffee ad that uses Transfer technique, a soda ad that uses the Testimonial technique, and a soup ad that uses the Name Calling technique.

In the article, ‘“Empowering” my Ass” (2017), Gaby Del Valle asserts her opinions on the issue of women-centered advertising. She views the concept of “empowertising”, as coined by Andi Zeisler, as just another scheme companies have implemented to make more money. Del Valle forwardly states: “The messaging has changed, but the purpose remains the same: Companies want you to buy their shit, and they’re happy to trick you into thinking consumerism is a form of self-expression to do so.” She provides examples of companies and aspiring brands who have recently begun integrating the concept of women empowerment into their advertising techniques. Brands such as Dove, Blink Fitness, Nike, and Aerie have all benefitted from spotlighting the idea

In 2013, UN Women launched an ad campaign that revealed the prevalent and rampant sexism and discrimination against women worldwide. Memac Ogilvy and Mather Dubai, the creators of the advertisement, placed authentic Google search text boxes over the mouth of the woman pictured, as if to silence her voice.

There are very few ads being circulated that show women containing strength and intelligence, not just beauty. The Always commercial was able to show all of these traits, and it is not the first time a feminine care product utilized a female empowerment approach; however, it is one of the few to have seen the Super Bowl spotlight. In a time where substitute brands have moved on to other topics, Always’ message remained focused on product performance. Judy John, the chief creative officer of the company, was quoted saying: “We set out to champion the girls who were the future of the brand. Girls first come in contact with Always at puberty, a time when they are feeling awkward and unconfident-a pivotal time to show girls the brand’s purpose and champion their confidence” (D & AD, n.d., para. 3).

People of varying races, ages, and genders participated in the demonstration of the ‘like a girl’ advertisement and it shows that there is a widespread commonality that people think this is an okay phrase to use. The message was received well by

Propaganda is performed through print, audio, and visual mass media. It is used for the promotion of the public’s activities in their life such as purchasing goods through market propaganda, and it is also found in politics, foreign affairs, and in many other fields. Most importantly propaganda is depicted in the informercialization of the news, which is connected with subliminal advertising and commercialization of public events and individual promotion such in communication websites. However, there is great debate over propaganda and persuasion that is casted in the media, which I will be elaborating in this essay.

“A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth” – Joseph Goebbels, German Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. This is the exact words of Nazis most famous propagandist in using media as a mass weapon of propaganda and mind control. Could you imagine Germany in 1930s, without Television channel, without the Internet, without every mobile device in your palm, what channel of information will you get?
